Is all of the above, but to narrow it down to one, I'd have to say avoiding harsh chemicals would be the most important - in my case, anyway. I just recently cut off about a foot of hair due to bleaching. Despite the care I was taking, the poor mop (which is about what it looked like at that point! LOL) just couldn't handle it anymore.
I'm still bleaching, but only every 5-6 months. I'm also having it done professionally by someone who has and knows about long hair (very lucky of me to find her being so far away from a GM Salon). So far, so good.
What an honor! Please stop by more often!
Take care!
Steph
