KEEP YOUR HAIR STRETCHED
Hair types with tighter curl patterns benefit most when their hair is stretched as the primary base for styling. This allows for moisture to be sealed from root to ends and keeps hair from coiling on itself as much, minimizing breakage due to increased detangling and manipulation. So after conditioning, don’t be afraid to style your hair with braids and what not as you see fit. Once your hair has dried in its stretched state styling is a breeze and detangling even easier come next wash day. If you don’t want to braid your hair every night to keep it stretched, four big plats should do the trick or just stretching your hair and loosely pinning it into big bantu knots and covering your hair with a silk scarf can help to keep it stretched as well.

Ingredients matter. Take natural oils verses silicones for example. Oils and silicones essentially perform the same functions, they smooth and coat hair for protection from heat and elements. However, natural oils,while requiring more frequent application, are actually capable of fortifying hair whereas silicones just sit on top of your hair. That said, make sure you are using moisturizing shampoos and conditioners the more natural, the better. Follow that up as well with stylers based with butters, oils or water with butters and oils to give your hair the maximum benefit. A great styling oil to utilize is Olea E Serum.
