4) If you decide to blowdry your hair, only use a blow dryer as your heating product. Step away from tools such as flat irons and curling irons.

6) Drink lots of water to moisturize the hair and get it ready for the times you do chose to blow dry. This way your hair will be lubricated from root to the outside.

7) Eat healthy and take in the proper nutrients and vitamins that your hair needs to keep your hair strong and damage resistant.
