Answer 1

Do not brush your hair while it is wet. Hair is the most prone to stretching and breaking while it is wet.

After you shampoo, apply conditioner & then gently comb out your hair with a wide tooth comb before your rinse out the conditioner. Run water through your hair gently - don't swirl it & twist it. Then gently gather sections to squeeze out the water.

Use a super absorbent microfiber towel to press the remaining moisture in your hair after you get out of the shower. Spray on a leave in conditioner & comb out your hair again w/ a wide tooth comb if necessary. Start at the bottom & work your way upwards to remove any tangles.

The microfiber towel is more absorbent than a conventional terry cloth towel so it will help your hair air dry faster.

Only brush your hair while it is dry & use brushes w/ smooth tipped bristles that are widely spaced to avoid tearing your hair.

Avoid styles that pull your hair tight. Use smooth hair elastics and barrettes.

Avoid using styling products w/ a lot of alcohol; stick to ones w/ alcohol lower down on the ingredients list.

Joico K-Pak conditioner is the best for damaged, dry hair. It can be used as a deep treatment mask or as a daily conditioner.

Run a drop of jojoba oil through the ends of your hair. It will add a bit of sheen & makes a good leave in conditioner. Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic & washes out easily.

Trim split ends.Section & pin your hair. Take each section one by one, twist & trim off split ends that stick out. Use small scissors, ex) cuticle or baby scissors.

Allow your hair to air dry as often as possible. Some style alternatives:

Make a ponytail more elegant by wrapping a section of hair around the elastic & securing it w/ a pin to conceal it. You can also section the ponytail and curl each section loosely to add more interest.

Answer 2

Try a shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair, use olive oil in your hair once a month as a deep conditioning treatment, get ends trimmed every 8 weeks, use a wide tooth comb instead of a brush, dont use rubber band elastics use loose cotten ones instead.

Vitamins B, C, F, zinc, iron, copper and protein are essential for hair growth. Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables is probably the best way to achieving healthy hair.Try http://solutionsforhairgrowth.blogspot.com/ for more details.
