Bad Hair Days Be Gone

1. Keep it Trim!
Losing the dead ends will make your hair look healthier instantly. You should get a trim about every 6 weeks.
 
2. Comb with Care!

Detangle knots either by hand or with a comb (NEVER with a brush). Wide-toothed, wooden combs are best for this. Conditioners will also help to ease the stress.
 
3. Get Rid of the Shampoo!
Avoid lathering up every day (it will dry out your hair). When buying shampoo, look for ones without silicone ingredients, which are bad for any kind of hair.
 
4. Oil up!
Olive oil makes a great at-home hot treatment. Warm up some oil and soak your hair from root to tip. Wrap in a towel and let it sit for an hour or two. Lather up and rinse for silky smooth hair! Out of olive oil? Mayonnaise will also do the trick.
 
5. Take the Heat Off!

Hair dryers and flat irons can damage hair. Give your tresses a break at least once a week. Braid or bun it up for a classic (heat-free) style!

When all else fails, turn your hair from frumpy to fierce by adding a hair accessory!

YES! shave it. now i am a black woman and you know how we love our hair. but he said i can pull it off. What is your advice on this.
The thing is, i think he knows what he is talking about but i am scared, i love my hair, but i would shave my head if i get some honest response. change my style up for a while.

Hey Tyra... just wanted to thank you for all these tips. I also wanted to ask: How often should you "oil up?" Can it be done more than once a week?
