• Let go of damaged and split ends.
• Don’t keep your two strand twists for too long and re-twist when you notice your roots are getting fluffy after cleansing.
• Detangle properly 
• Consider low manipulation styles to wearing your hair out
• Wear low manipulation & protective styles on stretched hair.
• Pat your hair with an old t-shirt/ towel to absorb the water after cleansing or use a microfiber towel. Avoid vigorously rubbing your hair with a towel.

How to properly detangle/ ultimate detangling steps.

• Work with sections. First, section into smaller parts. Detangling smaller sections is easier and not as time consuming.
• Start with damp hair. Spray water on your hair until damp.
• Add a conditioner/ detangler with a good slip to smoothen the tangles.
• Start detangling from the ends to the roots with your fingers. Don’t snap off the tangles, slowly separate the strands from the tangle.
• Comb with a wide tooth comb from the ends to the roots of each section then run it through your entire length. You can also use a detangling brush to detangle.
• Twist / braid or clip the detangled section and repeat the same for all other sections.
