2. Avoid excessive blow drying and air dry hair whenever possible. This will help prevent split ends and drying.
3. Massage the scalp with the oil regularly to encourage oil production.
4. After swimming, wash your hair with fresh water as soon as possible to remove chlorine residue.
5. Never brush wet hair, which can lead to breakage; instead, use a wide tooth comb after you shampoo and save the brush for later.
