How to Maintain Long & Strong Hair

1.

Trim your ends every eight to 10 weeks. When long hair splits at the end there's nothing you can do. Getting your ends trimmed keeps you looking groomed without sacrificing the length, so how about them apples?

2.

Eat the nutrients your hair needs to keep it growing strong and healthy. Get protein from meats, nuts, beans and eggs, beta-carotene from green or yellow veggies and fruits and B vitamins. Take a multivitamin if you're on the go too often to regulate and your hair will stay strong when you need it!

3.

Demo your hair handling IQ to score big, ladies! Comb wet hair, using a wide-toothed comb. Work out tangles with detangler spray or leave-in conditioner. Brush dry hair with a high quality brush. Style your hair, and then try not to touch it. Fidgeting and flicking weaken hair. When you put up your locks, make sure you're using quality hair elastics and accessories that won't snag and tear hair.

4.

Wash your hair using shampoo and conditioner designed for your type, as often as you need to keep it looking healthy, not dull. Give hair a moisture boost once a month -- more often if your hair is dry -- with a deep conditioning or hot oil treatment. Dry hair breaks more easily, so packing in the moisture keeps your locks long.
