Hair Styling Tip - Split Ends Prevention

Is there no end to split ends?????

All the maintenance you do to create great-looking hair - blow-drying, straightening, coloring and curling - breaks down your cuticles. As a result, your hair strands literally split.

Trimming your hair regularly (every six to eight weeks) will help prevent split ends. But here are some other measures you can take:

1. Make sure to deep condition your hair often - at least once a month.
2. Relax in between relaxing treatments. Your hair needs a rest. So if you do chemical treatments like relaxing or coloring, wait at least two weeks between applications. And never relax and color at the same time!
3. If you comb your hair when it is wet, do so gently with a wide-tooth comb.
4. On dry hair, use a soft-bristled brush.
5. Get an ionic blow-dryer; it locks in moisture that helps prevent the breaking-down of your cuticles.
6. Use silicone-based styling products like Simply Stylin’ which is pure silicone without fillers. Silicone products smooth split ends.
