1. TRIM IT :
It may sound weird, but you have to cut your hair for it to grow: Damaged ends will break off and make your hair shorter! No need to go crazy, though — just get the ends trimmed every six weeks are you'll look Rapunzel af in 2.5 seconds.
2. SKIP SUPER HOT WATER :
Chill with the steamy H2O, fam! Super-hot water will weaken your hair, making it dry and brittle. And dry and brittle hair is more prone to breakage.
3. DON'T BLOW DRY AND FLAT IRON YOUR HAIR ON THE SAME DAY :
Heat styling can fry your hair and keep it from growing long and strong. So if you're planning on straightening your hair, let it air dry first, instead of piling on the heat. (*DON'T EVER STRAIGHTEN IT WET*) And before you use a hot tool, coat your hair with a protective styler, like a heat protectant spray, before you ruin your perfect tendrils.
4. PAT YOUR HAIR DRY:
Wet hair is super fragile, so twisting it up into a towel after stepping out of the shower can break strands and damage your 'do. Instead, gently pat it dry with a towel.
5. PAMPER YOUR SCALP :
Dirt, oil, and dead skin cells pile up on your scalp making it hard for new hair to grow (COME THRU, HAIR!). Massage your scalp with your fingers every time you shampoo to work all the gunk off of your scalp and increase blood flow for happier, healthier, more active follicles.
6. GET A SILK PILLOW CASE:
Yep, you fancy now. But really, a silk pillowcase will gently caress your hair while you sleep, unlike cotton which creates more friction, causing breakage.
7. BE GENTLE WHEN TAKING DOWN YOUR HAIR :
Throwing your hair up in a tight elastic is already causing stress to your strands. The absolute last thing you should do after that is yank your hair tie out of the tangled knot. Carefully take down your hair and if possible, skip the elastic all together.
8. INVEST IN A WIDE -TOOTHED COMB :
Wide-toothed combs are basically the only tool you should use on your hair post-shower. Use them to gently remove tangles without snapping your delicate strands.
9. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL DON'T COMB YOUR HAIR WHILE IT'S STILL WET.
