Most stylists recommend a trim every six weeks. A regular trim will help prevent or get rid of split ends. Often, it's not the entire head of hair that needs the fix - just the dried out ends. If you're trying to grow your hair out and are freaked by the prospect of a cut, just make sure you clearly advise your stylist to cut off only up to the line of damage.
- Use the right products
- Skip shampoos
- Treat with keratin
- Rinse with cold water
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase
-Start in the shower by using the right conditioner for your hair’s needs, and run it from mid-shaft to the ends. For example, if you have split ends, try one that temporarily binds them until your next trim like Nexxus Pro-Mend Split End Binding Conditioner.
-Avoid shampooing every day. “Even if you’re using sulfate-free shampoos, at the end of the day, shampoo is detergent, which is meant for cleansing,”
-The key to younger looking hair is moisture and shine,” states Gibson. “Intensive in-salon or weekly protein based at-home treatments are imperative.” Overtime our hair suffers from keratin loss, which causes dullness and since our hair is made up of the protein, it’s important to replenish. Try using at home masks weekly like L’Oreal Professional Fiberceutic.
-Daily, before you get out of the shower rinse your hair with cold water. It may not sound like the most pleasant experience before you slip into a plush bathrobe, but the results prove its worth. The shot of cold water helps to seal your strands’ cuticles, which creates instant smoothness and adds luster.
-Not only do silk sheets look more luxurious, but they’re also great for your hair! “As you toss and turn throughout the night, your hair glides across silk much easier than other fabrics like cotton preventing tangling and breakage,”
