Find a good protective style that you can do quickly for those days when you're in a hurry

Use old shopping bags as deep conditioning caps and shower caps.

Banana clips, goody flex barrettes and spin pins are great alternatives to the more damaging elastic bands.

 

[mEmYSELFaNDj]

If you feel you must use elastic bands, make sure they are the ouchless kind without the metal connector piece.

 

[Dposh167]

Please find out if you have hard water. It can be a big reason for consistent dryness, high PH, and products not working on your strands properly

 

[mEmYSELFaNDj]

If you have hard water, you can get a showerhead filter at home depot for about $10.

 

[danysedai]

Make sure those banana clips, barrettes and clips that mEmYSELFaNDj recommended are seamless, high quality with no seams that will rip your hair.

Learn to rollerset correctly! Don't give up on those!
