What steps can you take to help prevent hair breakage?

Hair breakage happens when hair is dry and brittle. These are some of the steps you can follow to prevent hair breakage.

• Do not shampoo your hair every day. If you have to do, use a mild shampoo.
• Choose a moisturizing conditioner so that your hair gets the moisture it needs.
• Do not brush wet hair. If you have to, use your fingers to detangle your hair or use a wide-toothed comb.
• Avoid using blow dryers, curlers and straighteners as they can damage your hair and scalp.
• Also avoid the overuse of chemical treatments like perms, dyes, and relaxers too.
• Massage your hair with warm coconut, olive or mustard oil at least once a week.
• Get a trim once every three months.
