Frustrated by those mysterious short, broken hairs appearing out of nowhere? One of these everyday habits could be to blame.

Avoid yanking tangles free. Brush gently, starting from the ends and working your way up gradually. Opt for a natural bristle brush over plastic ones for minimal damage.
Excessive heat weakens hair structure. Allow natural air-drying whenever possible, apply a heat protectant, and dial down the temperature settings to preserve your hair's health.
