Simple steps to prevent split ends:

  • Trim your hair regularly- trim your hair does not only get rid of split ends or avoid it, it will also help to keep the ends healthy.
  • Avoid back combing your hair if possible- it is very damaging to your hair
  • Comb your hair gently- do not rip through the hair with comb or even fingers. Detangle your hair gently. Force combing, especially when your hair is wet will only break your hair and cause split ends.
