Reduce friction = reduce breakage
Let’s talk about REDUCING friction ✨ This has compounding effects—because when you reduce friction, you also decrease breakage and decrease shedding. Here are some easy and practical ways to protect your hair right away:
🌞 During the Day
Protective hairstyles are your best friend! (I’ll be sharing some examples in future posts). Think: braids (not too tight!), my go-to donut bun, rope braids, and plenty of other classy-cute styles. 💁♀️ Ladies, please—do not squish your hair under a coat, purse strap, or anything else! You can wear it down, sure, but when you’re in the growth phase, it is CRITICAL you protect every inch!
💇♀️ Brushing Technique
This one is so simple you’ll be shocked at the impact! It depends on your curl type and whether you even choose to brush, but let’s assume you do…
- 1–2 (Straight through Wavy): Brush when your hair is DRY.
- 3 (Curly): Brush when your hair is WET.
- brush from the tips of your hair to the top!! This is a must!
- Apply bond repair or oil after you brush-now I don't have data that says this helps. I'm telling you from personal experience that this helps!
😴 Nighttime = Beauty Sleep + Silk
Let’s talk about silk—she’s a lifesaver for your hair. 🌙✨ Silk bonnets protect your strands, reduce frizz, and honestly, I’m always surprised by how much smoother my hair feels in the morning when I wear mine. If you don’t want to invest in one (they’re not pricey, but still), at least braid your hair before bed.
BONUS TIP: When shopping for silk, look for 100% pure mulberry silk from trusted brands. 👌
🚿 Towel Friction (The Silent Saboteur)
So you’ve washed your hair and now you’re rubbing it like crazy with a towel… girl, the damage here is terrible! 🙈 Instead, grab a microfiber towel or even a soft t-shirt. Gently squeeze out the excess moisture—don’t rub, don’t twist—just squeeze. Your hair will thank you! 💖
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE treat your hair like a delicate flower- be nice to it.
