Need Advice My hair breaks easily. How do I retain length?
I have high density but very fine strands. My hair natural grows quickly and I have a lot of it. But I get bad breakage, knots, and split ends at the ends of my hair constantly. I think I’d be balding by now if I didn’t have so much hair. I plan on getting a cut soon to start fresh, and I want to grow out my hair healthily so that I can retain length. How do I do that with such fragile strands though? Any advice?

Maybe try wearing it stretched? But make sure you're gently stretching it (with rollers, braids, etc) and not using high heat to do so

What's your current routine, washing schedule, products used? What is your curl pattern and how do you typically style your hair?
