Brush hair gentlyThe trichologist Anabel Kingsley notes that diet, although important, will only strengthen newly forming strands, not hair that has already grown. She says using the wrong brush is one of the most common causes of breakage, and advises using a brush with plastic, rounded prongs. Brushing hair from the ends and gently working your way to the top of the head also helps avoid snapping strands. Air dry your hair when possibleHairdryers and heated styling tools can leave hair brittle and lacking in shine. “Even though it is less obvious than with straight hair, Afro hair needs to be trimmed regularly to ensure you have better curl definition.”
