Air-Dry Instead of Blow-Dry, Twice a Week
Skipping the hair dryer and straightener two days a week and letting hair air-dry. A heat-break habit for dry, brittle hair.
Give hair a heat break
Daily heat can leave hair dry and brittle. Giving it two heat-free days a week lets the lengths rest. Air-dried hair also tends to keep its own natural texture.
On those days, towel-dry gently, comb with a wide-tooth comb and leave it. On heat days, keep the setting low and the dryer at a distance. This is a hair-care habit and not a treatment for hair damage.
