Hair breakage! It’s the worst, we all want to avoid it but sometimes it happens. With long hair, it’s the last thing I want to see in my hair and I’m sure you’re the same way. Strong and beautiful hair is the goal of pretty much any girl so I wanted to share a few tips on it...🖤 Hair is made up of proteins so naturally a healthy diet and some collagen highly benefits your hair. If you haven’t heard of collagen, where have you been lady? It’s such a good and easy staple to add to your day!🖤 Heat can cause so much breakage. Blow drying is unavoidable sometimes but please for the love!!! Try to air dry your hair as much as possible. Wind + heat = the worst! Use a heat protectant every single time you apply heat but!!!!! Try not to apply heat every single day. We have dry shampoo ladies, we can skip a few days of styling this way. Oh and turn that straightener down, it does not need to be cranked up to the high heavens. 🖤 You don’t rough house your hair right, right!?! Ok so a few days ago I saw a woman brush her hair on stories and I cringed! She was brushing her hair as if it was about to escape! But really, just be gentle when you brush those tangles out you don’t want to have your hair snap off. When hair is wet, it becomes more prone to breaking so go slow and try not to break that hair off. On another note, I know at some point we have all wrapped our hair in a huge towel after a shower. Well this roughs up your hair like crazy! Use a turbie twist, y’all. This microfiber towelette thingy for your hair is worth the $12.99. 🖤 Some of y’all might come at me on this one but I gotta say it. Do not use the small little elastics for your ponytails. The constant tight grip and pull of your hair is a straight recipe for breakage. 🖤 If you brush your hair and see tiny pieces of hair breaking off, you might need a serious trim. I know, y’all I get it! If you’re trying to grow out your hair, the last thing you want to do is cut off length. I’m telling you if you don’t cut off that damage, it’ll just break off. You want fresh healthy ends, not brittle damaged ends. I hope this helps! I linked products I mentioned on my @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2Lyjk
