Don't press and curl chemically treated hair... stop allowing "Blow and Go" salons to use irons on your hair.

Never blow dry wet hair... towel dry your hair first... apply setting lotion or leave in conditioner then sit under a dryer until all moisture is absorbed.... allowing hair cuticle to close... then you can blow dry your hair on a medium setting.

When sleeping, don't place rollers where your head will touch the pillow... stress cause by the roller will tear and weaken the hair... set the top of your head... wrap your hair around your head or pin clip your hair. Always wrap your hair with the pretty satin wraps sold only at Olive's.
