If you sport long, flowing locks of hair, you know it takes a lot more upkeep to manage than a short, cropped cut. And if you've been dreaming about letting your tresses grow, but always seem to grow scissor-happy as long as the first bout of tangles set in, it's time you learned how to care for your long, luscious hair.
Keep your romantic locks in tip-top shape by following these few simple tricks of the trade. If you're constantly fighting knots, don't get frustrated and rake a hard brush through your hair. If your hair is wet, grab a fine-toothed comb and start working at the bottom of your hair. Brushing downward, comb through a small section at a time. Once you have freed up that section, advance to a higher section.
Continue until your hair is knot-free. If you're de-tangling dry hair, trade in the comb for a soft-bristled brush. Baby up on the knots, and you'll save your strands from massive breakage. If you wear your hair up a lot, switch up your style to keep your hair from going limp. By keeping your hair in a consistent ponytail, you hair will begin to thin out around the point of the elastic, and it will take the limp shape of the style when you let it down.
Use shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that are made especially for long hair - not all brands are created equal, and you want to make sure you're using products that are specified for you and your particular length. Look for brands that promote volume and cut breakage. And don't underestimate eating well and drinking plenty of fluids - your hair needs nourishment just like your body, and it will remain healthy if you treat it right. Make sure to always schedule a monthly trim for those dead ends, and flaunt your long 'do in style.
