1. Cliche I know but WATER WATER WATER….DRINK IT
2. Vitamins, You must be healthy from the inside out. Girls go to your local drugstore and get your daily women's vitamins and biotin.
3. Use hair products that work for YOU. I cannot stress this enough yes its okay to get ideas of products from others you see on the internet but don't force yourself to use a product that simply does not work for you.
4. Keep your hair moisturized. Water is the BEST moisturizer and you can follow with a butter or oil of your choice.
5.Keep your stress levels down. Stress can cause loss of hair and we don't want that over here hunty ! so be happy.
6. Protective styling is important—> twist-outs, braidouts, buns, Low ponytails, weaves but please make sure you are getting your weaves properly installed and you are taking care of your hair underneath it. Personally I have switched to braids and twist (w/ added hair) when I want to give my hair a little break. I have found that for me personally these have worked better for me than anything else. ( still have wigs for those rainy days/bad hair days lol)
7. Try to eat a balanced diet including lots of veggies, fish, fruits ect.
8.Use little to no heat, a lot of newly naturals are prone to getting heat crazy. If you must/want to use heat on your hair please take the time to learn the correct way to use it on your hair (youtube videos are free and informative)
9. Cut out shampoos. Also get in the routine of deep conditioning weekly. I have tons of DIY deep conditioning recipies if you all would like to see them.

10. I strongly suggest using natural oils, butters, just natural products in your hair. But honestly do whats best for you. I have found that my hair is in MUCH better shape now that I have been using all organic/natural products. You will be surprised at the simplicity of my hair care routine, I can have my hair wash and styled in 15 min after I deep condition.
10. follow these tips and watch your progress
These are just tips that I feel work for me, you do not have to try/follow if it's not for you. I will be doing a more in depth hair care routine soon
