Protect Before Bed

A silk or satin pillowcase allows you to extend your hairstyle overnight, so you can limit heat styling come morning. Plus, you'll wake up with fewer knots. It's best to wear hair in a loose braid, bun, or ponytail secured with a soft scrunchie.

Avoid The Elements

It's important to protect your hair before taking a dip in a pool, lake, or ocean. Wet your hair with clean, filtered water beforehand so it soaks up less drying ingredients like salt or chlorine.

Find A Stylist Who Appreciates Your Goals

Find a stylist who understands barely trimming. They’ll be able to cut in a way that maintains length without just slabbing off a few inches.

Pull Back With Care

You need to use soft hair elastics, scrunchies, silk-wrapped elastics, or an Invisibobble, so you don’t pull out hair every time you take down your ponytail, which causes damage no matter your length or hair type.

Know When To Say When

Products labelled with words like protein, strengthening, and keratin can have a negative impact if overused leading to protein buildup causing breakage over time. That doesn't make them bad, it just means stick to the directions.

Don’t Forgo Seasonal Trims

It's important to go back to your stylist every few months to make sure your hair still looks great at each stage. Think: every 10-12 weeks, or a little longer if you’re not hating the current length.

Ask For A Dry Cut & Long Layers

The technique allows for more precision that's personalized for your unique texture. If you have thick or textured hair, this is especially important.

Replace Routine Cuts With Dustings

Hair dusting doesn’t take any length off the hair, it just snips off the splitting ends. The process is more of a grooming practice than an actual haircut, but it'll keep your hair growing long and healthy between trims.
