1. Learn to work second day hair.
Washing hair every other day allows the body to repair hair with its own natural oils leaving your hair silky smooth and protected.
2. Brush wisely and correctly.
For daily brushing, choose a cushioned paddle brush with bristles. Always brush from root to end.
3. Shampoo only your scalp.
Let hair hang down normally and simply lather shampoo onto your scalp, then let the ends of your hair experience the 'second hand suds' as your rinse the shampoo through your hair.
4. Condition your ends.
ALWAYS use conditioner. Be sure to apply conditioner directly to the ends of your hair and then give it a couple of minutes to soak in. When you rinse your hair, don't completely rinse it dry of the conditioner.
5. Towel drying.
Do not scrub and rub a towel every which way on and through your hair! Instead, wrap a towel around your hair and simply squeeze different areas to draw moisture out.
6. Wide tooth combs with wet hair.
Invest in a wide tooth comb for us on your shower-fresh hair to lightly glide through hair and loosely manage your locks without causing as much breakage.
7. Blow drying.
If your blow dryer is to be the only heat styling tool used, do your best to avoid placing direct heat on hair ends until it is absolutely necessary. If another form of heat styling will follow your blow drying efforts, do your best to avoid direct contact with ends all together.
8. Straightener.
While straightening the hair, ALWAYS use a brush or comb to guide to prevent straightening a strand of hair in a creased or bent position.
9. Curling.
Instead of beginning the curl at the ends of your hair and winding all the way up, begin at your roots and guide hair through the curling iron as you twist up. This way, ends will only take in as much heat as needed to hold the style.
10. Trims.
Proper care will allow you to stretch trim appointments to every 6 to 8 weeks - maybe longer! Just keep watch. If you notice a random split end along the way, grab a pair of scissors and take care of it right then.
