Maintaining Your Style Post-Race
After the race, you want to relax. Don’t just rip out your hair ties. Gently remove pins first. Unbraid carefully. Use a detangling spray. It helps loosen knots easily. Brush from the ends up. This prevents breakage. Your hair will thank you for it. A little care makes a big difference. For more on hair care, see TressNails Terms of Service.
