trim your hair regularly. it gets rid of split ends and prevents them from splitting even worse. moisturize your scalp with a good leave-in conditioner or hair grease. blow-dry your hair. it's worse to not blow-dry your hair when your hair is wet because then your hair will become brittle and dry and more prone to breakage. when you blow-dry your hair, just make sure you put Pink Lotion on it while it's wet, then blow dry it out with the comb attachment that you can either buy from the beauty supply store, or comes with the hair dryer. also, keep your hair in braids when you want your hair to grow fast. it's better to get braids with weave than to get braids with your real hair. comb it everyday so it doesn't get tangled and matted. never comb through your hair after putting gel on it. wrap your hair up every night with a scarf or a bonnet or a stocking cap.





the best salons to go to in order to take care of your hair is a Dominican salon. they do the best job on African-American hair, and they charge less. just be warned in advance, that is not the place to go if you are tender-headed because they are VERY heavy-handed.

both my parents are ethiopian so i would assume we have similar hair. my hair goes up to my shoulders when its all frizzy so if i straiten it it goes a little longer. what i do is i always have my dead just so it looks nicer. to have my hair healthy i use mineral oil ( you can find it anywhere like Walgreen's for like two bucks.) it makes your hair seem greasy but trust me it helps a lot!!! then i braid my hair before i go to bed every night and sleep with a sleeping cap. i never use and relaxer, that will damage your hair. i also use this thick green ';gunk'; if you will. im not sure what its called because im out of it but i rub it on my scalp. you can put the mineral oil on your scalp as well. some days when i don't go out i just keep my hair in really thin braids just so it can grow healthier.
What's your hair regimine and what products do you use? Sometimes it's the products we use that have ingredients that can break off our hair. Use products that are specifically for the problem you have (breakage) and I would start deep conditioning once a week. Deep conditioner should be left in for at least 45 minutes under a conditioning cap or 15 minutes under a dryer. You can also deep condition overnight and rinse it out in the morning. Keep your hair very moisturized and always use a leave-in conditioner after you wash. Switch to moisturizing shampoos because most shampoos dry out the hair but a moisturizing shampoo will help you retain more moisture. Do a hot oil treatment regularly. Buy some olive oil at your local grocery store, warm it up in the microwave or a few seconds, massage it through your hair for about 5 mintues and then rinse it out. After this you can shampoo and condition (I only condition afterwards) your hair like normal. This will make your hair stronger over time. You might notice results immediately or after only a few uses. I noticed results after 2 uses. You can do this every time you wash your hair. Also visit the long hair care forum. There are many ladies, natural and relaxed, who have long hair and you can learn ways to make your hair stronger and longer.
