Welcome, Marena!
Some general hair tips:
1) Use a wide tooth comb for detangling.
Work from the ends of the hair, combing small sections as you work up the strands until you reach the roots.
2) Never, ever, brush your hair when it is wet!
3) Wear your hair up to protect the delicate ends
4) Use only hair friendly toys and elastics. No metal in the middle of elastic bands.
5) Unless your hair is oily, try shampooing your hair only once a week. Shampooing your hair every day will eventally strip it of its natural oil (unless you put something back to restore the lost sebum)
6) Try a satin pillowcase to protect your hair at night
7) Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water
Avoid blow frying, heat appliances.
9) Air dry your hair
10) Keep the ends trimmed (every 3 to 4 months)
11) Do S and D (Search and Destroy) to snip off the damaged ends
12) Brush your hair with a natural boar bristle brush (no plastic).
HOW you use the brush makes all the difference in your hair's appearance. Brushing distributes the hair's natural oil, removes lint and dead cells, exercises the hair follices and over time, leaves your hair shiny and very soft.
13) Above all, be patient! Average hair growth is 6 inches a year. Some grow faster, some slower.
14) As your hair grows longer, learn how to do different updos.
Have a happy hair growing viaje, Marena!
