Steps
1.Use a good shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. For instance, if your hair is dry, choose a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. If your hair is dyed, choose a brand for color-treated hair. Choose products with alot of natural ingredients and try to avoid products with mineral oils. Natural oils are much better. Some good natural shampoos can be found at your local Walmart or drugstore.
2.If you have more money to spend, you could either try the Ultra Black Hair, Crème of Nature line, or you can also use a small amount of grapeseed, olive oil, or jojoba oil straight from the bottle. Aveda makes a really good leave-in conditioner.
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. Unless use of co-washing is your method. You will want to shampoo and condition every 3 to 5 days. Deep condition every week if you have time, and no less then twice a month.
4.NEVER use "grease" in your hair. Most black hair needs extra moisture, but stay away from products with petroleum. Petroleum makes hair stiff, dry and greasy. Instead of grease, try natural oils (coconut, jojoba, olive, or castor) or natural shampoos and conditioners which are a great for your hair because they don't have all those sulfates, sodium's, and preservatives in them. They also give your hair a nice shine to it. Grape seed oil is very light and can withstand high tempatures without burning which will help control heat damage if you use heat styling products on your locks.
5.Moisturize your ends and be sure to keep them moisturized so you don't end up with split ends. Seal your ends with either coconut oil or castor oil.
6.If you use heat styling products on your hair, try and cut it down to 2-3 times a month if you can, and make sure you use a heat protection shampoo and/or moisturizer, or a good serum/spray on your hair before flat ironing or curling. Hold the barrel cover slightly open so the hair simply passes over the barrel without being tugged and pulled by the barrel cover when you use the curling iron. If you absolutely must use oil when you use your curling iron, dab on a very, very, tiny amount of Optimum Oil Therapy 3-in-1 Cremé or different product. It won't leave your hair oily.
7.Make sure you sleep on a satin pillowcase or tie your hair up in a silk scarf so your hair can stay healthy and won't break or tear. Silk pillowcases will also help prevent acne because there is not as much bacteria on them every night.
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 the hair stays healthy.
* Try and buy hair care products marketed towards black hair or natural hair products such as 100% shea butter, coconut oil and castor oil or even olive oil, these ingredents are especially good for your hair.
* Make sure you don't wear your hair in one style for a long time or everyday your hair will break off or begin to LOC.
* To reduce damage to the rest of your hair, try trimming your split ends. It is not necessary to obsessively cut if the ends are not frayed.
* Wear a satin bonnet or scarf to bed every night.
* Avoid rubber bands, not just black girls, but people with long hair in general.
* While some people believe that just washing with affordable conditioners works best, the truth is conditioners do not do a good job of removing dirt from hair. It is best to wash hair (focusing on scalp, rub don't scratch) with a good sulfate-free shampoo and then condition.
