What The Pros Say:

Don’t strip your strands of much-needed natural oils by overwashing. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Add a leave-in conditioner to your hair care routine. Snip split ends before they travel up the length of your strands. Limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant. Opt for low tension hair accessories like silk scrunchies.
