In case you have oily hair, avoid over-scrubbing your scalp because this will cause an overproduction of oil.
Always Condition your hair; Applying a good hair conditioner will help to keep your hair healthy and will also make it easier to untangle after shampooing. Those of you with dry hair; you will need to use a moisturizing conditioner. However, in case you have oily hair you need to use a basic hair conditioner on your ends only in to help prevent over conditioning.
Use a wide-toothed comb;always use a wide toothed comb to comb through your hair before you rinse the conditioner out.
Consult a hair stylist in order for you to cut your hair;you should do this every four to six weeks to remove any split ends from your hair.Straight smooth hair is probably the most prone to split ends but it should be treated gently.
