Condition the hell out of your ends with the RIGHT conditioner
If you find that your ends are getting crispy for no apparent reason, start doing double conditioning. It works
If you have found a conditioner that really keeps your ends intact, keep using it. If not, start looking.
Make it a habit to seal your ends on a regular basis with an oil or cream. Can't recommend the vaseline/petroleum jelly 'cause I do not use. I will recommend some olive BUTTER if you are having a rough time and the oils are not doing well at the present. "Regular" means as often as needed.
Keep the heat to a minimum, especially when it is easier in the warmer months.
With protective styles, a bun does nothing for me except give me a headache
Sorry, but it's true and a bun dries the stuff out of my ends and seems to work against healthy ends FOR ME. My scalp, hair length and ends do much better with circulation. With a braid, it cuts down on the manipulation. A single or two braids is/are wonderful in extreme temps...really cold or really hot.
That wonderful comment made by my barber about my trim line being intact, I still think it's St.Ives conditioners and bone combs. 'Cause I have to say, my diffuser was not on vacation then
You gave some great tips!!! What exactly did you mean by the double conditioner?
I totally agree with you on the bun thing. It totally dries my hair out. I would like to try it again this upcomming summer because I cant braid worth crap and I want to protect my hair on the days that I spend a lot of time out in the sun.
My other question is Where did you find your bone comb? Im looking everywhere. THey dont sell them at sally's I went looking today!
