Health and Beauty Tip -- Keep Hair from Breaking
Never use a rubber band as a tie-back -- it can break or split hair. Instead, keep fabric-covered elastic bands or scrunchies handy. Brushing too hard when it's wet can also break hair, so towel-dry it lightly first, then use a wide-toothed comb to detangle before pulling out the brush.
