You must moisturize daily. This is key to ending breakage. I love mango, avocado, shea, sal, tallow and cocoa butters. They are great for moisture and dry scalp and ends. Shampoo at least once a week and condition. Deep condition weekly. Invest in a good vitamin regimine to include biotin, msm, vitamin e, flaxseed oil, l-cysteine, shen min and hair, skin and nails, and or evening primrose oil. Drink at least 64 fluid oz of water daily. Eliminate or minimize your use of heat. Trim every 12 weeks or as needed. condition wash daily if natural, this helps me out alot in terms of softness and condition of my hair. Tie your hair up at nite with a silk or satin scarf or place a thin plastic cap on it. that's about all of the help i can provide.

I agree with Caramel, you need ALOT of moisture especially while wearing extensions. Extensions can be drying and absorb the moisture in your hair therefore causing it to be dry and prone to breakage. I suggest you not wear extensions for a year. If you wear your own hair in protective styles( buns, frenchrolls, twists, braids( without extensions or use human hair), you will be able to retain moisture and length, because you are not allowing your ends to be out in the open.

If you are going to wear braids I suggest you try the crown and glory method...the woman has free info on her site about how to keep your braids nice and from causing breakage.

Also, a forum called www.longhaircareforum.com is good, you don't have to have long hair and if you dont want to be a member you can just read the forum and see the regimens of others and see what they are doing to improve the health and retain the length of their hair.
