•Whether you do your hair at home or at salon you should start setting or doing rollers rather than drying it up with blower or other hot appliances (bonnet dryer heat is less damaging). Hair rollers will leave it with more body but, if you want a sleeker look you may want to use blow dryer afterwards, just to get look you want. Your hair will look nice while maintaining use of hot appliances to a minimal amount of time. Note: heat rollers should also be avoided.

•Do not wash hair daily. Wait for at least four to seven days before your next wash. Washing your hair too often strips away its natural oils.

•Use leave in hair treatments.

•Use hair products that help protect it from sun. The label should say UVA & UVB Protection or SPF.

•Sleep with a satin or silk pillow case. You can find them in your local beauty shop or department store for a few dollars.

•Eat properly and take multi vitamins to ensure you are getting all required nutrients for your body in general and hair. ---------------------------------------
