1. Shampooing your hair is an important step in cleaning your hair. Always use good quality products that do not contain laurel sulfate or sodium laurel sulfate. They are synthetic chemicals that are used in shampoos to give it lather but are actually not good for your hair.

2. Use trial and error method in selecting the right shampoo for your type of hair or you can ask from your friends who have the same type of hair that you have.
 

3. By all means sleep. The time spent for sleeping is the time your body repairs itself. Lack of sleep causes your hair to look dull and lifeless.

4. Alcohol causes dry hair so avoid the use of styling products such as hair sprays that contain even low levels of alcohol.

5. As much as possible do not let styling products such as gels come in contact with your scalp because this blocks the pores and prevents new hair from coming out.

6. Before sleeping remove styling product residues from your hair and scalp to avoid your pores from getting blocked by these residues. For this you can use 6 tablespoons of beer added to 1 cup of warm water as a final rinse.

7. If you are a swimmer or just love to swim from time to time avoid jumping into the pool without having wet your hair first with plain water because pool water contains chlorine.

8. When using a hair dryer use only low to medium heat and don’t let the dryer linger on your one area of your head for long. A hot setting is not good for your hair and scalp.

9. Use the top quality hair tools.  This goes with out saying.  If you use the wrong curling iron or hair straightener, you will spend more time to correct the mistakes.
