How Can You Stop (preserve) Palm Leaves From Drying Out After Cutting Off From Tree?

Hello there, I am a university student studying textile design and am using the long strands from palm trees to weave together. I was wondering if you had any thought on how you could prevent the long strands from drying out, as they become weak when cut off from the stem.
