If at all possible list the products that you used with this tip. I think that this thread will be great, if everyone contributes. I will start: - For super moisturization, apply virgin olive oil liberally to hair before washing. Cover hair with a plastic cap, and sit under a heated dryer or wrap head with a hot towel, if desired. Sometimes I actually sleep with my hair soaked in olive oil, your head will provide the needed heat as you sleep. I then wash the hair out in the morning and condition as usual. Style as usual. Be sure to wash out olive oil well. Hope this works well for everyone who chooses to try it. ------------- True beauty is only found within.

Less breakage, less hair in my comb, and less dry hair. Now, I just sit under the hair dryer for about 30-45 minutes to get my scalp dry. I also started using Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil. I apply it right after I get from under the Hooded dryer to seal in moister. For a conditioner, twice a month I`ll use Vitale Super Recontructor Conditioner Intensive Treatment. Well, those are just a couple of things I do to help improve the elasticity of my hair. Just remember to keep doing your homework. Try differnt products. What works for some may not work for others. I have tried some products that have worked well for other people and not good for me. So just keep trying and be encouraged :) -------------
