Trim Regularly

Start by getting rid of split ends. Regular trims every 6-8 weeks help prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, keeping your hair healthier in the long run.

Gentle Washing

Use a sulfate-free, gentle shampoo to cleanse your hair. Harsh chemicals can strip away natural oils, leading to further damage. Opt for shampoos with nourishing ingredients like argan oil or coconut oil.

Condition Your Hair

Conditioner is essential for replenishing moisture lost during washing. Focus on applying conditioner mainly to the lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp, to prevent the roots from weighing down.

Excessive heat styling, such as blow-drying, straightening, or curling, can cause significant damage over time. Whenever possible, let your hair air dry or use heat-protectant products before styling with hot tools.
