Tip #1: Comb your hair starting from the bottom. If you start combing from the top, all the knots will gather at the bottom of your hair and might make your hair more breakable.

Tip #2: Never comb your hair when it’s wet. Wet hair is easier to stretch and break. Instead, comb it before you wash it, then wait for it to dry and then comb through again to have a minimum number of knots.

Tip #3: Dry your hair with a soft cotton t-shirt instead of a rough, heavy towel. This will help to reduce the tangles.

Tip #4: Oil your hair the night before you wash it. This will make your hair smoother and less prone to damage after it is washed.

Tip #5: Avoid using shampoos and conditioners which have sulphates in them. These chemicals are usually really rough and can damage your hair.

Tip #6: Use cold water to rinse the shampoo and conditioner out.

Tip #7: Try to use shampoos and conditioners which are organic. Several companies produce these products and they are better for your scalp as well as your hair.

Tip #8: You can also use herbal powders and scrubs to clean your scalp if you are prone to oily hair or getting very sweaty.

Tip #9: Change your ponytail placement or braid placement every once in a while, to let your hair flow in different directions. Do the same thing with your partings. This will help to keep your hair strong.

Tip #10: If you have medium-to-long hair, avoid leaving it open at night. Make a loose braid or a ponytail to avoid tangles.
