Regular trimming

Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks to remove split ends. This keeps them from moving up the hair shaft and inflicting additional damage.

Minimize heat styling

Reduce your usage of hot styling products such as straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers. Excessive heat can cause hair to deteriorate, resulting in split ends.

Gentle towel drying

To avoid friction and damage, avoid rigorous towel drying. Instead, use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to gently massage or squeeze excess water from your hair.

Protective hairstyles

Hairstyles such as braids, buns, or ponytails, should be worn. These styles can protect against environmental stressors and reduce friction, which leads to broken ends.
