To further minimize damage, one trick is to put on a mask before bathing.” , this way we ensure that the hair does not get thirsty and at the same time it is protected.You also have to be careful with the hair when it is wet, both in the shower and on the beach, as it is much more fragile and breaks more easily. don’t touch and comb it better with the conditioner applied,” says Raquel Saiz of Salón Blue by Raquel Saiz of Torrelavega, Cantabria.
