Things You'll Need:
- Leave-in conditioner
- Wide-toothed comb
-
Step 1
It's a fact of nature - dry hair will split faster. Moisturize your hair and use leave-in conditioners to keep your hair from getting dry and coarse.
-
Step 2
Don't brush too often - overbrushing irritates the hair and can cause splits in your hair cuticles.
-
Step 3
Avoid brushing and combing wet hair - wet hair can stretch as much as 20%, and causes the most split ends.
-
Step 4
Don't heat-treat or color your hair too often, as it damages and weakens hair, making it brittle and easier to break.
-
Step 5
When you towel-dry your hair, blot it dry and comb with a wide-toothed shower comb.
-
Step 6
Give your hair a deep conditioning treatment every week to keep it soft and silky.
-
Step 7
In addition to all this, make sure you trim those ends AT LEAST every 6 weeks, to stop any split ends from traveling further up your hair.
