Super Kinky haired ladies.......

How do you prevent splits forming as a result of the way the hair kinks/folds? I'm noticing that my hair splits mid-shaft and it seems to start at a kinky fold... is this making any sense? My hair is 4b and beyond (uber, super, mighty, tightly kinky). I moisturise pretty much everyday and sometimes more than once a day. I currently DC 2-3x/week. Don't use shampoos. What else can I do to try stop these splits? Oh, and don't get me started on knots , though these don't bother me as much as the splits do . Help?

Do you use brushes? What do you use to style your hair? Hair accessories could be culprits. How do you wash your hair? Do you manipulate it a lot or just let it hang down while you squeeze it? Do you wear your hair out daily? Comb daily? Do you use seamless combs?

4B hair is the most delicate and of all types the one that should be treated as if it were span out of a web, ie with extra TLC.
