2. Reduce heat! Turn down your shower water temperature, decrease your blowdrying frequency and time, try our Satin Hair Heatless Curlers for low or no heat styling. You can partially air dry before blowdrying. If you must heat style, you absolutely need to use a heat protectant styling product to reduce hair damage. Remember the ends of your hair are the oldest, and you need to respect your elders by showing lots of TLC.
3. Reduce friction! Swap traditional hair ties for coiled hair ties and satin scrunchies. Wear long ponytails or braids instead of high ponytails. Try out a satin or silk pillowcase, or try our satin sleep bonnet. Not only does it prevent hair breakage from movements during sleep, it also significantly reduces frizz and maintains your style.
4. Be careful with your hair when it is wet or while you are deep oiling. Wet hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. Do not wrap your wet hair up in a towel turban; instead, gentle squeeze dry with a dry towel. Brush your hair thoroughly before washing so you can minimize combing or brushing your hair when it is wet.
5.Trim those split ends! If you don't want to go for professional trims, you can do it at home with a pair or sharp cutting shears. Read our blog about split ends.
