There are many ways to keep your hair soft and exquisite. First, make sure your diet includes all the proteins and vitamins you hair needs to be healthy in the first place. Avoid caffeine, carbonation, high fats, and nicotine. The last internal trick is to get enough sleep! Your hair can not become beautiful, if its not healthy to start with.

External tricks are useful to keep hair healthy. Here are a few that I use:

Wash only the roots when you shampoo. [unless of course something gets into the rest of your hair. Conditioner is a type of soap, so do not worry about shampooing the entire length.] Note the Ph level on the shampoo you buy. Stick to lower level or Ph 7. Never opt for a level 8 or higher because it can make your hair brittle.

Use thick conditioners, and leave in for 3 minutes or more before rinsing. Leaving the conditioner in for a full 3 minutes or more allows it to replace the moisture in your hair that was taken out from shampooing. Make sure that your hair stays warm during this the conditioning. It keeps the cuticle open. Keep in mind that some conditioners create an illusion of healthy hair by coating it with wax. This just creates a layer that needs to be washed away by a harsher shampoo...thus damaging your hair.

Use cool to cold water for rinsing. This is said to improve the shine, but its not necessarily true. It does however convince the scales in your hair to lay flat, producing the image of smoothness.

Try not to brush your hair more then absolutely necessary. It causes split ends. To lessen that problem, try combs. Or if you have curly hair, finger brush it while in the shower.

Blow dry your hair on cool mode or let air dry. Heat will dry out your hair even more.

Some extra tips:
Use real Mayonnaise. It sounds disgusting, but it truly works wonders. You can wear gloves or put in on with your bare hands. Make sure the container is not from the refrigerator because its too shocking to your scalp. After you have applied the mayonnaise, wrap your hair with plastic wrap. This will keep you tidy. If the smell of mayo is discussing to you, try mixing in peppermint or vanilla extract. Leave it in for a few hours, then rinse with vinegar.

Warm the vinegar up a little. You can use apple vinegar to improve the smell. The vinegar will cleanse your head of grease from the mayo. Keep in mind how strong vinegar smells, and try to do this on a day you can just putz around your house.

After all these tips, you should have beautiful soft hair! Visit the first source for tips on how to grow your hair quickly! I hope this helps.

Good luck!
