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.

Hot Syles and Healthy Hair Tips

Summer is the season to get a fresh, sexy short cut, hit the beach and chill out in the pool. But it also means dry, frizzy hair and sun damage. Here are some tips to keep your summer hair hot and healthy.

Cutting Edge: Flippy, Choppy Chic Hairstyles
It's time to shed long locks for a short, choppy cut that shows off your features and gives your look a new attitude. To create looks like this, start by finding a stylist that will skip the scissors and use a razor. Cutting hair with a razor gives it more texture, and a choppier feel so it doesn't look heavy.

Another way to crank up the cool factor of your new 'do is with color. According to Shorter, Two-toned color creates depth and works well with choppy cuts because you can see the individual pieces. To maintain this look, use products that add texture, shine and a soft hold.

Color-Treated Hair & Salt Water
If you plan to hit the beach with your freshly colored summer hair, you might want to take a few precautions. Excessive amounts of salt water can make (color-treated) hair change colors and look dull. Wash hair with Pantene Pro-V Color Revival Shampoo. It cleans hair without stripping color and leaves behind a protective layer of silicone to protect hair from damage. Pantene Pro-V Color Revival Complete Therapy Conditioner is packed with UV filters and antioxidants to protect hair color from fading. For deep conditioning, try Pantene Deep Moisture Masque for Color-Treated Hair to restore luster.

Chlorine & Your Hair
If chilling in the pool is part of your agenda this summer, be warned that chlorine can be especially damaging to natural and chemically treated tresses. Frequent exposure can weaken the hair shaft causing split ends and breakage. The best way to protect your hair is with leave-in conditioner. Before hitting the water, apply Redken Sun Shape Swim Cream. This leave-in conditioning treatment prevents hair from absorbing chlorine and other harming pool agents. Wash hair after swimming and follow with Redken All Soft Heavy Cream to restore much-needed moisture.
