3. Use natural, mild shampoos and conditioners with ingredients like keratin, rosemary, plant proteins and seaweed extract. Use a conditioner after shampooing to moisturize your hair so as to give it an extra shield, shine, making it less static and easier to untangle.
4. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle wet hair instead of brushing it. Sharp toothcombs can damage your hair, cause split ends, and rub your scalp.
5. Dry your hair with minimal heat, as extreme heat will damage most hair. Lessen the frequency or intensity of heat used from blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons.
