2. Cover up any unwanted gray strands with this L'Oréal Paris spray. It only takes three seconds to hide any light or dark strands, and it lasts until next shampoo. Give your hair a refresh, and give your stylist a break.
3. These professional-quality shears are exactly what you need to get evenly trimmed ends. You can remove any annoying split ends, or finally do the big chop to start over on your hair health journey. Make sure your technique is on point, or else you will end up with a slanted trim.
4. Keep your hair hydrated and tangle-free with this satin pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases strip your hair of its moisture and can cause bedhead. Now you can actually have a good night's rest knowing that your hair will be protected from any damage a cotton pillowcase would cause.
5. Even though sleeping on a cotton pillowcase is terrible for your hair, a cotton T-shirt or a microfiber towel works best for safely drying hair. Gently scrunch those curls to prevent tangles and release excess moisture, and then style your hair as desired.
6. Stop putting unnecessary heat in your hair, and switch to these flexible curling rods instead. Effortlessly turn your limp strands into vibrant curls or waves. You can also leave them in overnight while you sleep.
7. Or you could purchase a heatless curling rod headband that can also be worn overnight for the perfect barrel-curl look. It even comes with scrunchies, clips, and a headband. Just dampen your hair with a spray bottle and add some mousse before you wrap your hair around the rod. Remember, the wetter your hair is, the longer it will take to dry.

10. Get some clip-ins if you need to give your hair a break from straightening it. Add it to your buns, ponytails, and other updos for a little extra volume and length. These extensions blend with many curl types. Just style them to your liking.
11. If you're noticing breakage or thinning hair in any particular area, then you might want to consider changing your hairstyles more often. Depending on the style you wear and how often you wear it, your hair can experience enough tension to cause damage to you hairline.

Just give it five minutes to work its magic, and you'll be on your way to repaired, nourished hair.

14. Go for a slick back bun when you want something low maintenance that can last for days, especially if you tie it up at night. Spice it up with some swoops on your edges and curly pieces to make it look a little more dramatic.
15. Spray your hair with Batiste dry shampoo to cover up any buildup or oily strands. Maybe you don't feel like washing your hair every day; give your roots a spray, and comb it through! This spray is also great for making your silk press, blowout, or relaxer last longer.
16. If you want to give your hair a break from heat, product, and tension, try wearing a wig. You can still wear super cute styles while your actual hair is protected underneath. Keep your wigs in place with some bonding glue. All you need is a little bit on your wig line to keep it secure.
