Wash your hair the right way
Wash your hair the right way Healthy, shiny long hair starts with a good wash, but you don't need a ton of shampoo and a vigorous motion to keep your hair clean. Squeeze a coin size amount of shampoo into your hands and gently massage it into the scalp. Give your head an invigorating massage as you shampoo. This is a good way to improve blood circulation and helps to encourage hair growth. Wash the ends of your hair in a downward motion. Avoid scrunching it up in your hands because this can cause the ends to fray and split.

Follow with a conditioner, generously applied along the length of your hair to restore moisture. When rinsing, remember to set the water to a cool temperature — extremely hot water dries out your hair and creates tangles that could result in breakage.
