Make the investment<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the tools you use on your hair, invest in the best you can afford. Buy high quality straighteners, combs, rubber bands etc. or you might end up paying the price in restorative treatments.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Less is more.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the unlikely case that your name is Rihanna, you really don\u2019t need to surprise your co-workers with a new do every day. Find a hassle-free hairstyle that suits you and stick to it, at least for the most part. Your hair will thank you for it.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Wrap up.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Head wraps are not only a flattering accessory, they are also a great way to keep your hair protected from the big bad environment. Buy some gorgeous print scarves and wrap up your curls.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Treat your hair like silk.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You know that favourite dress of yours?
