#*Brush hair only when it is needed, either to combat tangles or for styling purposes. Over-brushing and vigorous brushing can damage or pull out hair. Do not brush it when it is wet, either. Instead, comb it using a wide-toothed comb. | #*Brush hair only when it is needed, either to combat tangles or for styling purposes. Over-brushing and vigorous brushing can damage or pull out hair.

#*Combs and brushes serve different purposes. Use them correctly. Combs are for wet hair and removing knots, as well as parting hair and distributing styling products. Brushes are for distributing hair’s natural oils, styling and using with a blow dryer.<ref>http://www.thehairstyler.com/features/articles/hair-care/hairstyling-tools-brush-vs-comb</ref> For example, using a comb to remove tangles allows you to more carefully tease the knot apart without breaking the hair. Brushes do not allow for this kind of finesse. | #*Combs and brushes serve different purposes. Use them correctly.

#Minimize your use of heating tools. These are very harsh on your hair and should not be used too often. Products such as hair serum should always be used when applying heat, in order to protect your hair. Be sure that you also do not have the heat setting too high. Try to use things like blow dryers on their lowest setting. | #Minimize your use of heating tools. These are very harsh on your hair and should not be used too often.
