First, use an appropriate comb.
A suitable comb is essential. Avoid plastic combs; opt for wooden ones made from materials like boxwood, peach wood, or rosewood. While these combs may be slightly more expensive, they are absolutely worth the investment and will last for years.
Second, massage your scalp regularly. Whenever possible, let your hair down for scalp massages. Remember not to pull hair too tightly when tying it up—loosen it slightly to reduce pressure on the roots. Massage your scalp whenever you get the chance, and sleep with your hair loose at night.
Third, minimize blow-dryer use.
Prolonged use of hair dryers can make hair dry, brittle, and prone to yellowing. Split ends become fragile and break easily. Additionally, the scalp may become dry and flaky, which can naturally lead to hair loss. Therefore, minimize blow-drying. Instead, gently pat hair dry with a towel without rubbing vigorously. If you must use a dryer, wrap your hair in a dry towel first.
Fourth, rotate your shampoo brands.
Using the same shampoo from start to finish damages your hair. Avoid buying cheap, discounted shampoos. Opt for smaller bottles instead—they get used up faster, allowing for more frequent switching. This benefits your hair's moisture retention.
