SPLIT ENDS | THE HACK – DETANGLE AND TREAT
As we can’t get our regular trims right now, making sure your hair is in top condition will help prevent further split ends, pre-salon appointment. Use a wide-tooth comb instead of pulling at fragile hair to detangle. When hair is extra-fragile, ease knots out slowly and make sure you don’t rip or pull. If you hit lots of snags, a trick is to work from the bottom of your hair and work your way up. Don’t forget to deeply treat hair with a mask, hydrated and moisturised locks is less prone to breakage.
