So my hair USED to be split free...
Now I've started to notice more splits lately. There have been a few new things I've done lately that I suspect could be the culprits:
I've used Curlformers about once a week for the past few weeks (give or take). The hook has a seam on it.
I also just got a new boar bristle/nylon brush. I LOVE it for smoothing, and I try to detangle first before using it, but I don't always.
I'm S&Ding as much as I can. I trimmed off about 1/4 inch off the total length about a week or two ago to try to head off the splits before they begin. I don't want to loose more length, would using cones work? maybe it would help strengthen my fine hair...
Any suggestions?? I've been wearing my hair up everyday. My hair is about 2 inches from BSL.
