hair strength is put to the test at every minute of the day, so it is important to always give it the care it needs. when exercising, protective hairstyles like box braids help decrease friction which may lead to cuticle damage. during sleep, loose braids may also reduce friction during nightly tossing and turning. sleep on satin or silk pillowcases when possible, and secure hair with silk or frictionless scrunchies to minimize breakage.
