How can I keep my hair healthy?
There are a few things you can do to keep your hair healthy. First, make sure to use a shampoo and conditioner that are right for your hair type. Second, avoid over-styling your hair with heat tools. Third, get regular trims to remove split ends. And finally, eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
