Personally, I massage coconut oil onto my hair before I wash it. Then I shampoo and condition it. Use this method for a prolonged period of time and you'll see good results. Its very healthy for your hair!.. well, it is for mine because I have long, black, and silky hair. Hope I helped.

u should wash ur hair after swimming each time. leaving the chlorine in ur hair is very bad for it. u can also use sunscreen for ur hair but the best thing is to stay out of the sun or wear a hat if u cant.

OK..I am 13 and african-american....PLEASE READ

1) your hair turns brown in the sun because that is the color of your hair. Sorry. It may look black, but it is probably a dark dark brown. Mines does the same thing.

2)The reason you get flakes is because you are using TOO MUCH gel. you may need to reduce the amount you use. I use to get those flakes, but now I don't because I don't use as much gel.

3)You should ALWAYS wash your hair after you go swimming. Your hair could break off even more if you don't wash your hair. Even though my hair is long, if i don't wash it after I swim, it will break off. Also try a swim cap, even though they may look tacky, they dont get as much cholorine in your hair! Just a suggestion.

4)The shampoo I reccomend is called Creme Of Nature. I have very thick hair and it lathers very well!!! You should try it.

5) You should probably wash your hair every 8 weeks! PLUS, after you go swimming. ALWAYS wash your hair after you go swimming.

Hope I helped!
