How can you keep your hair from locking up?

To prevent your hair from locking up, maintain regular moisturizing routines to keep your strands hydrated and healthy. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and avoid heavy products that can cause buildup. Regularly detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to prevent tangles from forming. Additionally, consider protective styles and minimize heat styling to maintain the integrity of your hair.
