Prevent hair breakage and splitting
To treat and restore hair, it is not necessary to go for expensive drugs. You can choose softer and more affordable options, namely, use folk remedies. And if you manage to find a suitable way, then it is quite possible to forget that the hair is breaking. What is undesirable to do is to bring them to a deplorable state.

And the amount of water you drink, on the contrary, needs to be increased. In the demi-season, it is recommended to purchase vitamin complexes for hair.
How to avoid mechanical damage to hair
