Do De-tangle in Sections

Do Lightly Spray your hair with water or wet your hair till damp: Before combing, brushing, or styling your hair

Do sleep with a head covering (at least in extremely cold/hot weather nights) use preferably a Silk Scarf

Do Deep condition (Without Protein) at least once a week if not more
(Especially if your hair is extra DRY)

Do braid your hair up at night: less work in the morning (its less damage/stress on hair)





Don't s of Hair Care:

 Don't comb hair or de-tangle hair when dry

(At least dampen your hair before brushing or combing)


Don't Over Use Conditioner 
Use enough conditioner to coat your hair, any extra conditioner is a waste

Don't leave conditioner in your hair for more than 15-30 minutes, it does not create moisturized hair, it does over moisturizes which:

Makes hair too stretchy (elastic) and hair will snap and break off
Don't Over Use Proteins
Too much Protein makes hair brittle

Protein Conditioners can Cause MAJOR BREAKAGE

Don't Over Use Shampoo 
Shampooing to back-to-back or more than twice in a week

Dries hair and scalp of your hair natural hair oil called Sebum and strips of necessary moisture.


Shampooing too often will  make hair Brittle and Dry which leads to Breakage Yikes!


Don't Over-Use Oils
Using too much oils to seal hair of moisture can leave your hair greasy/oily your hair will not be moisturized: 

Remember Oil is not moisture Water is Moisture 


How to Quickly Soften Brittle Dry Hair
  1. Section hair into four or more parts
  2. Use water to soften hard brittle DRY hair 
  3. Massage a moisturizing conditioner with NO PROTEIN, into hair
  4. Seal with a penetrating oil (dime size amount), into sectioned hair
