4: Do Not Have Your Hair Styled To Tight

By this, we are talking about things like braids, waves and even cornrows. These look awesome, but if they are not done right, they can really damage your hair. Make it weak and even result in hair loss. If you are getting it done by a professional or even one of your friends and it hurts while they are doing it. Chances are they are doing it too tight, tight causes pain and pain equals damaged hair!

5: Get Regular Trims

If you have tremendous long hair, the last thing you want to hear is that you need to get a trim. But no one likes split ends and if you are of the mindset of “it is only the ends that look haggard” Well I have some bad news for you. Split and damaged ends can actually travel up the hair and cause the damage to spread up your hair! So make sure you are getting a little trim every now and again to keep those ends looking good.
