The ends of my hair are so beat up. How can I prevent breakage?
First, keep the ends strong by trimming about an inch from your hair, says Haraguchi. Then go easy on your locks: Avoid bands with metal clasps that can snag hair, and instead reach for cloth-covered or all-elastic hair ties. Also, use a wide-tooth comb when brushing wet hair -- if your hair tends to tangle, apply a conditioning detangler first. This simple act can save hair from stretching and breaking.
