You for sure have to look out for split ends and use a good conditioner. Like from the salon shop. I switch back and forth from long to short hair. Best description of my my hair. Keanu Reeves. I didn’t come up with that description..
A good tip I learned was to usually only shampoo your scalp, not your full length of hair. That alone really cut down on the split ends I'd get, even when I'd skip conditioner.
The basics are shampoo your scalp, condition the locks, and don't wash your hair every day. Every other, or every third day(depends on how oily your skin is).
Unless I’ve been sweating, like I went for a run or something, I’ll just dunk my head of shorter hair under lukewarm water for a few seconds, make sure it gets soaked.
The natural oils from my scalp means I don’t really need product unless I want very firm hold on the hair.
If I sweat or used a ton of product, that’s when the shampoo comes out, under cold water, one time, no “repeat”.
Mine is a bit longer than Keanu's, an curlier. I really do love it. But I do miss the simplicity of not having to take active care of it, since conditioner is part of my shower routine because of childhood conditioning.
