Always Pre- Poo before washing with a moisturizing substance
Always use a sulphate free shampoo
Always condition your hair after washing
Always rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar, to close the cuticles on the hair shaft
Always use a gentle micro fibre towel to dry your hair.
Never dry your hair rubbing vigorously, this will only lead to frizzy hair .
Always use a leave in conditioner
Always use a oil sealant.
Never, manipulate hair to much when wet, that only leads to breakage
