Treat Ends

End Seal Technique (groafrohairlong.com)
While hair is damp
Take aluminum foil, fold over hair tip, and take a warm non- electric bumper curler or flat iron and place over the foil for 2-3 seconds. The heating appliance only needs to be warm not hot. Hot aluminum will burn your hair
"
If you hot curl your hair on a daily basis (growafrohairlong.com)
If you are
curling your ends on a daily basis, spray very cold water (Ice water) on the tips daily and bump the ends. The ice water and heat will lock in moisture and produce a firmer set--which mean little to no breakage
