Tips
- After you shower or bathe, run a paddle brush through your hair to remove any tangles. Work slowly and keep the brush's teeth tilted up so you don’t break or damage any of your hair. Brush your hair in small sections until it looks straight. [44] X Research sourceThanks
- Cotton sheets have small fibers that could catch and pull on your hair, so they’re more likely to cause frizz. Instead, opt for a silk pillowcase or a silk wrap that goes around your head while you sleep. [45] X Research sourceThanks
- Use low heat to prevent breakage and split ends. Turn heat stylers on the lowest setting and spray your hair with a heat protectant spray to prevent it from damaging your strands. [46] X Research sourceThanks
