tips needed for long hair

Hi,A good rule of thumb is to use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to protect the hair is you are going to use hot styling tools. You can also help protect your hair with a good leave in conditioner like Aveda's Elixer or produts that are similar.Other tips...Never brush wet hair, use a cool/cold water rinse to seal the hair cuticle when possible, use a thick towel to blot the excess moisture out of the hair and never rub the hair shaft which can break it. Another good rule of thumb...hair is most fragile when wet.Best of luck to you.Karen> I am Pentecostal, and in our religion we don't cut our> hair, not even to trim. My hair is very long and I> constantly use hot rollers, curling irons, and hair> dryers, for styling. Is there any kind of special> products or any tips y'all might have that would help> strengthen my hair and prevent breakage or> splitting???
