I leave it alone! I shampoo 3 times a week, air-dry, don't color or perm, and hardly ever use styling products. It feels great, and it looks pretty good too (but it'll look better after it grows a little).

I maintain my long, beautiful hair by sleeping on a silk charmeuse pillowcase, every night. It keeps my hair from tangling and looking a mess in the AM. I have been sleeping on silk charmeuse pillowcases for over 10 years and I NEVER get split ends. The silk also feels cool and very luxurious and it is supposed to be very good for the skin. I found some fabulous looking printed silk pillowcases (butterflies, paisleys) in beautiful colors and they are machine washable. I cannot sleep without my silk pillowcase ad take it with me everywhere.

To begin with, I always use salon products. although there are ones at wal-mart just as good... if hair is colored, use shampoos and conditioners for your hair type, plus color...comb through conditioner in shower with very wide comb, and rinse in almost cold water. (Saves Color) Only wash every 2 days unless hair is too oily... always add oil when straightening, and I let my hair air dry. Its also bad to wrap it up wet in the towel...avoid products with alot of alcohol. Bed Head after party is good.

I spend the extra money to buy salon brands, and it does make a huge difference in the way my hair looks, especially over time.

I have very thick hair that can pretty much take anything.

I shampoo and condition daily only because I workout daily and have very thin hair. I use leave in conditioner to de-tangle my long hair and let it air dry.
