Steps

1. Find a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Use the one particular to your hair type. For instance, if your hair is dry...choose a dry hair brand. If your hair is colored choose a brand for color care. Choose products with alot of natural ingredients. On African American hair, mineral oils and synthetic materials weigh the hair down and cause it to be brittle. Aphogee shampoo and and reconstructor are excellent about $9.00 a bottle.

2. Black hair can get very dry, so moisture is key when nursing your hair back to health. Try Elsta Mango Butter, Profective line, or Organic Root Stimulator products, all of which can be found at your local Walmart or pharmacy. If you have a little more money to spend you could either try the Ultra Black Hair, Cr猫me of Nature line, or the Mane and Tail Deep Moisturizing line.

3. Decide how often you are going to shampoo and deep condition your hair. The once a month myth is sure to make your hair break off. You will want to shampoo and condition every 2 to 4 days, your hair will like that. If your hair is ok with that and you want to try every day, go ahead and see if that works for you. But 2 to 4 days is ideal. If thats too much try once a week. But you must listen to your hair!

4. Decide if you want to use "grease" in your hair. If it鈥檚 oily it could affect your skin and break you out, if it's heavy then your hair won鈥檛 hold whatever style you are planning on wearing because the oil is weighing your hair down. You could also use Virgin Olive Oil. This oil is a great product for your hair because it鈥檚 natural and doesn鈥檛 have all those sulfates, sodium鈥檚, and preservatives in them that some people鈥檚 hair can鈥檛 handle too well. It also gives your hair a nice shine with out it being too oily.

5. Moisturize your ends and be sure to keep them moisturized so they don鈥檛 split.

6. If you use heat on your hair, try and cut it down to once a week if you can and make sure you use a heat protectant on your hair before flat ironing or curling. Hold the barrel cover slightly open so the hair simply passes over the barrely without being tugged and pulled by the barrel cover when you use the curling iron. If you absoulutly must use oil when you use your curling iron, dab on a very, very, extremly tiny amount of Optimum Oil Therapy 3-in-1 Crem茅 and it won't leave your hair oily. A picture of this is also attached.

7. Make sure you tie your hair up before you go to bed with a Satin or Silk scarf. You can get them at Wal-Mart for cheap. You can also get a satin bonnet for when you have curls in your hair. Satin pillowcases are good for those nights when you just don鈥檛 feel like putting your hair up in a scarf. This prevents the hair from tearing and snagging and ultimately breaking off while you sleep.

Tips

* Oil natural hair (not straightened, permed or relaxed) about once each day. Oil straightened hair no more than twice a week with an extremely tiny dab of the stuff only AFTER putting on a moisturizing leave in. This is called sealing. The oil seals in the moisture of the leave in and ensures that thehair stays healthy.

* Another really good shampoo and conditioner is Pantene relaxed and natural for women of color.

* Make sure you don't wear your hair in one style for a long time or everyday your hair will break off.

* It is best to get a relaxer every 8 weeks or longer, in order to prevent overprocessing and making sure that only the new hair is relaxed

* A good shampoo is John Paul Mitchell Super Skinny shampoo. It is kind of expensive but its worth it get the conditioner to go with it.

* To reduce tangles, try trimming your ends.

* Wear a satin bonnet or scarf to bed.

* Avoid rubber bands.

* Instead of using shampoo, try washing your hair as you usually would, but with conditioner only. Use cheap conditioners like Suave, White Rain and VO5. They all work well.

Warnings

* If your hair is relaxed, only relax your new growth and NEVER overlap the relaxer onto previously relaxed hair. To prevent overlapping the previously relaxed hair, which causes overprocessing and ultimately breakage, apply an essential oil, castor oil, extra virgin oil, or vaseline to protect the previously relaxed hair.

* A key factor in maintaining the length and overall health of your relaxed hair, reapply the relaxer only to the new growth( virgin hair that has never had chemicals applied to it). Most stylist will recommend a touch - up every 4-6 weeks; that is not always necessary some hair textures only need to have a touch -up every 3 months which is 12 weeks, and some can extend longer without any damage to the hair shaft. It is vital to do what is best for your hair texture and alawys make certain to never leave the relaxer on the hair too long; this will cause serious damage and possible hair loss. Follow the instructions on the relaxer hair care system if you are relaxing on your own. If you are going to a professional stylist make sure to vocalize when the relaxer is burning or if their is any discomfort at all to prevent hair loss.

Things You'll Need

* Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

* Deep conditioner

* Protein treatments

* Essential oils like jojoba, coconut, castor oil, carrot, and olive oil

* Silk or satin sleep scarf

braids.. the best thing to do is to learn how to braid your own hair.. here is a tutorial on youtube I found that explains how to braid your own h air with synthtic hair:

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=QvqhnDCAtU...

The reason i suggest putting in individual braids is because when you're hair is braided its in a no contact state, which means no brushing, combing, straighten with heat at all which allows your hair to not break at the ends. Do this for about 1 year and you will see results..

Im doing that too.. there are other methods but the braids in my oppinion is the best method because it protects your hair
