5 Tips to Avoid Hair Breakage
If you're tired of hair breakage, it's important to improve the overall health of your hair by obtaining the right nutrients through your diet. Avoid hairstyles that pull on the hair roots and weaken follicles. Use bond/peptide system hair products and jojoba oil to instantly lessen hair breakage. Also enjoy a daily scalp massage that can lessen hair breakage due to strengthening hair follicles which produce stronger hair strands.
The Ultimate Hydration
At NU Standard®, we look to hairstylists for treating and preventing damage from physical stressors like heating tools, chemical treatments, and excess friction from styling.

CARE
When it comes to caring for your hair, the universal goal should be to prevent split ends, damage, and breakage.
