When you’re applying your products do not do it in Rubbing motion… do it in a smoothing motion so as not to tangle the ends of your hair to avoid breakage.
Simplify your Regimen (I used to have 10 or more steps to follow on many products; I have learned to simplify all that and concentrate on moisturizing my hair every day to maximize length retention.
Love yourself and how unique you are.
