If you plan to use heat styling tools like curling irons or straighteners, always apply a heat protectant spray. This creates a barrier against damage and helps maintain your hair's integrity.

Avoid harsh chemical treatments, such as bleaching or perming. These can weaken your hair, making it more prone to breakage. Opt for natural hair colors or treatments instead.
