Wrap your hair with a satin bonnet at night: To avoid constant dryness of hair and for extra moisture retention, you can always wear a scarf during the night.

Sleep with a satin pillowcase: Use a silky pillowcase to avoid oil getting sucked out of your hair.

Braid your Afro hair often: This reduces the exposure of hair, hence less damage is done to your hair. Whatever style you choose, make sure the braids are not too heavy on your natural hair which can cause further breakage.

Avoid frequent use of rubber bands: Opt for a softer hairband made from satin or silky fabrics. This way you ensure your hair is healthy and can prevent breakage.

Have Regular Deep Conditioner Protein Treatments: Add a homemade protein treatment for natural hair growth to your hair growth regime on weekly basis. Deep conditioning protein treatments help to fill in the strands of your hair where damage has occurred and will help stop breakage on natural hair.

Trim your hair when needed: Trim your hair as often as it is required. Once a month is sufficient.
