Great ways to prevent or help prevent damage to your hair

These ten tips will enhance your hair health by adding strength and body to it:

Use a thermal protector when using heat.
Do not blow dry your hair until it is completely dry. It's better to leave a little moisture in.
Use a conditioner with U.V. protectors built in.
Use a low or no ammonia hair color.
Air oxidize perms instead of using the neutralizer.
Never brush wet or damp hair. Use a wide-toothed comb.
On dry hair, use a boar's-hair hairbrush; start at the ends and work your way up.
Clarify your hair after you swim.
Blow dry on the "cool" setting.
Eat protein-rich foods (like chicken, fish, or nuts), and foods rich in essential fatty acids (from botanical sources only, not from animal sources)
