Induldge in weekly/biweekly deep conditioners
Remember water is your friend
Always protect your hair. Tie it up while sleeping and always protect your hair from the cold.Sleep with a satin/scarf pillow case.
NO MUNIPULATION! In other words, just leave it alone, no matter how hard it may be.
Either limit or cut out your heat usage! The less the better!
Do not use any products that may strip or dry your hair.
Don't comb dry hair. That's just looking for trouble if you ask me! Try combing while wet, or damp, while conditoner is in your hair, with a wide tooth comb. *Remember to work from ends of hair to the scalp.
For longer hair, do everything in sections.
Do not rub your hair with a towel when its wet...Hair is fragile in this state so try to squeeze it instead
Take care of your ends. This is the oldest and more fragile part of your hair. Oil them down at night.
Is your hair tangled towards the ends when you comb them?? That is a sign that it is time for a trim.
Holding on to split ends will only damage your hair in the end. Get trims as needed.
We all may have different textures on our heads...get use to the textures and learn how to deal with them
Experiment! The only way to know what is good for your hair is if you try different things!
Drink plenty of water. Heres a tip, if you have a 16oz cup, you can fill this up 4 times a day and pick the times that you want to drink them. EX. one cup when you wake up, one before lunch, one before dinner and last glass before bed. It'll not only do your hair some justice but your skin and body will benefit from this as well!
Last but not least, maintianing your natural hair shouldn't be a difficult task. Just accept your hair for the way it is and learn to do different styles,
