- Brush hair only when it’s dry.
- Let your hair air-dry and avoid blow drying or rubbing it with a towel.
- Gently massage shampoo into your scalp only.
- Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle wet hair.
- Use conditioner every time you shampoo.
- Wear hats or scarves to protect your hair from the sun.
- Avoid chemical straighteners, perms, or bleach.

- Going to your hairdresser for regular trims can help even out hair that grows at different rates and assist in finding short hairstyles as it grows out.
