How to prevent hair breakage and maintain strong, healthy locks

Keep your hair moisturized by regularly using conditioner and leave-in treatments.

Avoid using heat styling tools frequently, or use a heat protectant when you do.

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle your hair, especially when it's wet.

Avoid using tight hair elastics and bobby pins, as they can cause breakage.

Protect your hair from the sun and environmental damage by wearing a hat or using a UV protectant spray.
