Your hair breaking or experiencing breakage is normal.
You will shed you will shed a couple of hairs here and there. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pay attention to your hair breakage.
There are a couple of things you should and shouldn’t do to keep hair breakage in check. Read on to find out what they are.
- Watch what you use to dry your hair
Using a regular bathroom towel to dry your hair has a significant effect on your hair breakage. A towel will snag and pull on your hair causing tangles and eventually breakage. Use a microfiber towel or a cotton t shirt instead.
- Moisturize your curls
Hydrate hair is happy hair. Dry hair tends to be brittle and more susceptible to breakage. Here are several ways you can keep your hair moisturized:
- Reduce the amount of heat you use on your hair. Heat sucks the moisture out of your hair.
- Use the LOC method frequently to moisturize your hair. Just make sure you have products that lock in moisture and softness for longer
- Drink lots of water. No better way to stay hydrated than from inside!
- Don’t forget to pre poo before shampooing
- Avoid over manipulation
Manipulation is how you handle and take care of your hair. It ranges from washday to styling. Over manipulation is when you overdo everything.
Styling your hair too often using the wrong comb to comb your hair, detangle the wrong way or even being rough with your hair.
- Invest in protective hairstyles
- Use the right comb to detangle
- Be gentle with your hair
- Detangle the right way
Detangling may seem like it encourages hair breakage, but the opposite is true. Detangling is using a wide toothed comb or brush through your hair.
It helps remove tangles and knots from your hair which might cause breakage.
