You should always use quality shampoo and conditioner – there are many types available so get one that suits your hair – colured, dry, frizzy, and greasy – it will help keep your hair in the best condition.

If you use hair straightners or curling tongs then you expose your hair to extreme temperatures, therefore it’s essential to use a heat protection spray. There is bound to be one in the same brand of your shampoo, but all work in the same way. It gives your hair the extra protection that is needed to prevent your hair becoming dry and brittle and in some cases snapping off.

You should also get your hair trimmed regularly, even if you are trying to grow it. Your hair becomes dry and damaged on the ends which will result in ‘split ends’. Having these trimmed will make sure that you hair looks in tip top condition and will also assist with growth.
