1. Learn to work second day hair
Washing hair every other day allows the body to repair hair with its own natural oils - leaving your hair silky, smooth and protected. You might even be surprised to find that some styles will work better with second or even third day hair. -

2. Brush wisely and correctly
First, pick the type of brush you use wisely - for daily brushing, choose a cushioned paddle brush with flexible bristles. This will work with your hair to detangle with ease. Be careful - hard plastic brushes and bristles will tug and rip your hair apart if used for normal daily brushing on knotted hair. Next, use it correctly - absolutely do NOT pick up your brush and tug it down your hair from root to tip on your first pass through! Doing this will instantly push every nominal crisscross down into a tangled clump at the ends of your hair! Now your delicate ends are forced to take on the heat of a brush yanking through thick, concentrated knots. This is an incredibly easy way to damage hair! Instead, work from end to root. Carefully brush through your ends first, then slowly work up to the midsection. In a final stroke, you can pull your brush through the entire length of your hair. -

3. Shampoo only your scalp
Let hair hang down normally and simply lather shampoo onto your scalp, then let the ends of your hair experience the "second hand suds" as you rinse the shampoo through your hair and away down the drain. -

4. Condition your ends
ALWAYS use conditioner! Be sure to apply conditioner directly to the ends of your hair, and then give it a couple of minutes to soak in. Then you rinse it out. -

5. Towel drying
Do not scrub and rub a towel every which way on and through your hair! Instead, wrap a towel around hair and simply squeeze different areas to draw moisture
