-Try not to use too much shampoo or conditioner, this only dries out your hair even more.
-Don't brush too hard, this produces more split ends and headaches. (Also gives you sore arms if you have long hair!)
-When washing out your last minute conditioner, do it briefly, make sure you wash it well enough so only a tiny amount stays on your head, if you don't, then you will end up with knots and dry conditioner clumps, also your hair will get stiff!
