Tie
your hair up at night with a silk or satin scarf. This prevents
your hair from "catching" on the pillow case and breaking
off. This also keeps the natural hair oils in your hair and not
on the pillowcase.
___________
Be
Patient. Clear all tangles and snarls with the fingers first,
then, starting from the bottom, using your wide tooth comb, complete
the detangling process. Using an leave-in conditioner at this
stage, while the hair is still damp will help keep the hair moisturized
and help ease out the tangles.
___________
Stay
away from alcohol based products; look for either Alcohol or SD
Alcohol on the label. Then leave it on the shelf. Alcohol is extremely
drying to Ethnic hair.
