Tips for healthy hair??????!!!!!!!!?
You should roller set your hair every week. Roller setting your hair distributes low heat over a long time when underneath a dryer. I cannot stress the importance of roller setting to have and keep healthy hair.
Shampoo with a protein shampoo (I use Redken Extreme shampoo) because relaxing robs hair of protein.
Then deep condition (I order Mizani's Hydrafuse online bc they don't sell it to the public, just to the salons AND I mix it with KeraCare Humecto) for about 5-15 minutes UNDER THE DRYER. This is very important, the heat opens up your cuticles. Wash it out with cool water to close it. Relaxing dries out your hair.
Your hair needs a healthy balance of protein and moisture.
After that use a leave-in conditioner. I use KeraCare Leave-In, it is very concentrated so you don't have to use much and it is very, very good at protecting your hair against heat and other damaging factors including sun, wind, etc. I also use Nexxus' leave in conditioner called Luxxtress. It replenishes moisture AND has a bit of protein in it.
I use Design Essentials setting lotion, it is incredible for roller sets for me. So I have two leave in conditioners and a setting lotion in my freshly moisturized (deep conditioner, leave in conditioner) and strengthened (with the protein shampoo and part Luxxtress) hair. My hair is protected and happy.
You don't have to use only ONE brand's products. As you can see, I have mixed it up till I found the perfect matches for my hair.
When I take it out my curls are shiny and bouncy and full. I go to the salon bc I can't roller set my own hair but I can roller set other people's lol. You wouldn't believe the looks my hair gets. People always ask me if it's my own and I proudly say yes. After you take out your roller set, wrap your hair. Or you can get the roots blown out.
Wrap your hair at night with a silk scarf, it's so important to keeping your hair moisturized. Use a silk/satin pillowcase just in case your wrap falls out.
I know that money doesn't grow on trees but I promise if you invest your money on high-quality hair products, your hair will thank you.
You might also need a trim or cut because may have split ends. ONLY trim if you have split ends, other than that you have no reason to trim your hair every time you go get a relaxer or roller set your hair.
Also, you can start trying taking supplements. I used to use GNC's Ultranourishair, Biotin, and MSM. All these things are good for your hair. HOWEVER, if after 3 months you don't see improvement (and I mean look at your roots) then stop taking them. Some people don't metabolize synthetic vitamins as well as others, that's why you see some people swear by them and some don't. They help maximize your own hair growth POTENTIAL along with a good diet. They worked for me but I became too lazy.
I think this covers it all but you can always ask for more, I love to help people with relaxed hair! A lot of people hate on us and say we should go natural but there is such thing as healthy relaxed hair that you can grow long and thick as I have!

Tips for healthy hair??????!!!!!!!!?
Recently i had to cut a lot of my hair because it was unhealthy and i hadn't been treating it right and i was so upset. So i asked my mum on how to keep it healthy, here are her tips
1. When washing, thoroughly cleanse the tips of your hair with conditioner. With shampoo, massage into your scalp. Make sure all the shampoo is washed out and there is no residue.
2. Brush your hair every day. When you wake up and before you go to bed.
3. Try to cut down on hair products including hairspray and straighteners. Use them, just not as much
4. Taking vitamins will strengthen your hair therefore avoiding breakage
5 Eat healthily. The healthier you are, the healthier your hair
6. Go to the hairdresser monthly and ask them to do a conditioning treatment on your hair. It's inexpensive and really worth it.
Good Luck!

about once a week, i do olive oil treatments. i get some olive oil and microwave it to make it warm (not hot!). comb it through your hair and leave it in for 20-30 mins. then wash it out and condition as usual. it a wonderful natural conditioner to help repair damage.
