tend to be dryer and more prone to breakage because the structure makes

hair are that they have more points (joints) and they are prone to breakage.

your hair

- When washing your hair rub only in one direction to avoid tangling.
- Oil your scalp after shampooing, with your hair still moist, massage
the oil into your scalp and brush out to the ends of your hair.
- Use a conditioner when you shower, it'll moisturize your hair, give
it extra protection, add shine, reduce static, and makes it easier
to untangle.

of your hair, when you rub, it'll cause your hair to tangle and you'll
also risk breakage.

it and then continue combing

scalp and hair
