For those who frequently wear ponytails, wear the ponytail in different spots of your hair. Even soft, fabric hair scrunchies can cause hair breakage if they are placed in the same part of your hair day after day. If you must tie your hair back for your job, give your hair a break by letting it down during your non-work hours.
To restore your hair’s condition and give it more strength, reduce the amount of time that small appliances are used in styling your hair. Over time, curling irons, flatirons and blow dryers can cause damage that leads to frizz and breakage. Try giving your hair a little break from the heat here and there.
When you dry your hair, a blow dryer should be avoided. Your hair might look frizzy if you are using heat to style it. Instead, wrap wet hair inside a towel for a while. This way, your hair will air-dry naturally, minimizing frizz.
Ignore the myth about trimming make hair grow quicker. Whether you trim or not, hair grows around a half inch per month. Although, during the summer hair does tent to grow a bit faster, or if you are taking biotin supplements, but mostly it’s hormones which control growth, not how often you cut it. Getting your hair trimmed in a timely fashion keep split ends and breakage at bay, which is what causes some people to incorrectly think trims affect hair growth.
Don’t tug or rub your hair with your towel when you are drying your hair. This can stretch out your strands and cause them to frizz and break. Instead, blot, pat or squeeze any excess moisture out of your hair. Never brush wet hair with anything but a wide-tooth comb.
Don’t use products on your hair that contain alcohol. This can dry your hair and scalp out. Alcohol will make your hair dry and brittle, so it is important that you carefully select the hair care products that you use. Take a look at the back before bringing it to the counter.
