Tips on how to avoid split ends:

  • Keep off vent brushes with plastic bristles. These can make promote damage by splitting through the hair. On dry hair, purchase a wide brush with a foam pad. Since wet hair is more sensitive to tearing, comb it lightly with a wide-tooth comb.
  • Try not to shampoo every day if you have dry hair. On off-days, just scrub your scalp with your fingers in the shower and put on conditioner.
  • Protect hair when blow drying. Applying a leave-in conditioner is better.
  • Schedule a trim every six to eight weeks to get rid of damaged ends.
