Hacks To Prevent Hair Breakage

Hair breakage is an unfortunate thing that most of us deal with at some point. Once a strand splits though? It's all over. There are some products that mask them temporarily, but once it happens, hair breakage can't be repaired. That's why prevention is important.

Stop over brushing

The American Academy of Dermatology says to only brush your hair to style it, and even then to do it gently and start from the bottom and work your way to the top.

sleep in a protective hairstyle

Ideally, hair should be dry and braided before getting under the covers. Protect your hair even more by sleeping on a silk pillowcase.

try a treatment

One that I've noticed plenty of people trying and liking was the rice water treatment. Rice water is full of hair strengthening and repairing nutrients like amino acids, folic acid, and niacin.

blot your hair after drying

Wet hair can be pretty fragile. Rubbing your hair in between the towel, or wrapping your hair tightly up in a towel can cause damage. Blotting and squeezing your hair with a microfiber towel can help prevent breakage and frizz.
