Hair trends come and go, but luxe, lustrous locks that undulate down the spine will never go out of style. If you have long hair, you\u2019ll know that maintaining it doesn\u2019t come without its practical difficulties. But don’t fret, for team GRAZIA is on hand to tell you everything you need to know about maintaining that longer \u2018do, from how to prevent breakage to keeping things supple and<\/em> avoiding the dreaded straggle.<\/p>\n

BREAK UP WITH BREAKAGE<\/h3>\n

It might sound counter-intuitive, but the more you trim your hair, the stronger (and longer) it will be. If you see to it every six to eight weeks, you\u2019ll prevent the cuticle from splitting at the end and travelling up the shaft, after which breakage is inevitable. Be guided by your hairstylist on how much needs to come off. Sometimes a cut will feel more drastic than you might want, but you\u2019ll have your length back in no time \u2013 and it will be stronger and healthier than before. Try throwing in a product like Olaplex\u2019s No. 3 Hair Perfector to help repair damaged bonds and strengthen the hair shaft. Also, consider buying a satin or silk pillowcase or using a satin hair wrap to reduce friction on your tresses while you sleep.<\/p>\n

CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION<\/h3>\n

Need we say it again? Whatever your hair type, the key to stress-free lengths is to use a high-quality conditioner, every<\/em> single time you wash your hair, to replenish natural oils that shampooing strips away. (Indeed, curly and textured hair may benefit from ditching the shampoo altogether and co-washing<\/a> \u2013 or conditioner-only washing \u2013 as beloved by TikTok users far and wide.) Far more than just a detangler, conditioner is essential for maintaining our hair\u2019s cuticle, or outer layer. It banishes frizz and combats dryness, brittleness, breakage and dullness. We love the K\u00e9rastase Resistance Fondant Extentioniste<\/a> for its lightweight formula and delicious smell, or Oribe\u2019s Hair Alchemy Resilience shampoo and conditioner.<\/p>\n

oil up<\/h3>\n

If you find that your mid-lengths and down get dry a few days after washing, you’re in need of a deeper, more nourishing treatment. We swear by Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer Deep-Conditioning Treatment, which is applied just before washing to protect locks during the shampooing process.<\/p>\n

The longer your hair, the older and more fragile the ends, so treat them gently<\/em>. Applying one or two drops of oil, such as olive or argan, or a product such as Moroccanoil<\/a> – on a daily basis – can protect those lengths, boost shine and prevent the dreaded straggle. Try warming it between your palms before you apply \u2013 and don\u2019t worry if it looks a little \u2013 well – oily<\/em> at first, as it will soon be absorbed.<\/p>\n

turn down the HEAT<\/h3>\n

As a rule of thumb, avoid heat wherever possible. Rather than tonging your hair, try plaiting it when damp and sleeping on it. Brush through the next morning to achieve a natural-looking wave <\/a>without compromising your hair health. If you must use heat, use the lowest temperature possible (including when you shower – cool rinse anyone?) and invest in a high-quality heat-protecting product, such as Aveda’s heat relief.<\/p>\n

COLOUR WISELY<\/h3>\n

As with heat, less is more when it comes to harsh chemicals. If you colour your hair, try and leave it as long as possible in between visits to the colourist – even if that means two-inch roots. Stick as close to your natural hair colour as possible. We know how fun it is to switch up your style, but unless you\u2019re Kim K and have your own personal stylist (and a whole lotta wigs), play it safe. Also, chlorine is in love with hair damage, so if you\u2019re a regular swimmer, wear a swim cap and rinse your hair immediately<\/em> after every dip.<\/p>\n

BRUSH UP<\/h3>\n

Not to sound bossy, but after washing, never, EVER brush your hair wet. Or damp, for that matter. That’s when it is most vulnerable, and you\u2019ll run the risk of stretching it rather than detangling it. If your locks are on the knottier side, use a detangler. We love the Aveda Brilliant Damage Control\u00a0<\/a>– it works, it\u2019s organic and it smells like heaven. When you do brush, go for a boar bristle \u2013 or better yet, a vegan alternative such as Briogeo’s offering.<\/p>\n

THE POWER WITHIN<\/h3>\n

You get out what you put in, and for long locks, that should be a balanced diet full of healthy fats from oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds. For a little extra somethin\u2019 somethin’, throw in some cod liver oil or a supplement like HUM\u2019s vegan Hair Strong Gummies. They contain folic acid, zinc, biotin and vitamin B12, and they’re delicious. Win-win.<\/p>\n
