Don't use chemicals and keep it trimmed, conditioned and moisturized. Keep heat styling to a minimum....the most heat i use is once every two weeks to flat iron.
I disagree, I have very long hair and I use heat all the time. I think the secret is finding what products work on you. Not all "black" products are for black hair. Most have mineral and petroleum oil.
I blowdry my hair everytime I wash it and flat iron it afterwards. Plus I flat iron it about every day. Also, I always use some kind of heat protectant (John Frieda's Blow-Dry Creme, Garnier Fructis' Smooth Milk) before I blowdry it or else your hair will break. It leaves my hair so smooth and silky. Some people trim their hair every 4-9 weeks religiously. I only trim it if I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to, when I start seeing split ends. I wear my hair out, curled, in ponytails, buns, bone straight, every kind of style.
I think you should keep your regime simple too. Some people do wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much to their hair.

I used a very simple regime and wrapped my hair every night. I don't use oils or take vitamins for my hair or anything like that. And whenever I was going to do something which required heat (all the time) I used a thermal heat protectant such as John Freida's Blow-Dry creme.

I'd say the things that helped me the most were cutting back on the heat, making sure that I moisturize daily, protective styling, and using petroleum free, SLS/ALS free, and mineral oil free products.
wrapping thinned my hair on one side it doesn't work for everybody.
I've heard other complaints of how wrapping thins hair. I haven't had any problems w/ it thus far, but don't want any damage in the long run. So, I'm curious as to HOW and WHAT causing the thinning???
