Steps to Prevent Split Ends A shining head of hair is something we should all aim for. There are a few steps that you can do to keep your hair in tip top shape.



1. Dry ends quickly split so keep a small bottle of coconut oil handy. Every day, use one or two drops. Rub the oil through your fingers and then apply directly to your dry tips. If you have long hair, tie it up in a pony – this way it is very quick to treat the ends.

2. Never brush wet hair. Your hair is very fragile when it is wet. Always use a wide-tooth comb.

3. Be careful of very cheap shampoos. They are really loaded with harsh detergents that strip the natural oils from the hair shaft. Remember it’s that oil that keeps your hair shining and soft. Buy a shampoo recommended by your stylist. They can quickly assess your hair and you will get the best cleansing and conditioning system for you.

4. Have a trim every six to eight weeks.

If you put the above four steps into practice, you’ll be on your way to healthy looking hair.
