** The hair is comprised mostly of protein, therefore to encourage hair growth, adhere to a diet rich in protein. A recommended diet for this purpose includes calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, and two tablespoons of granulated lecithin.

** Your hair-type will determine your cleansing routine, some of you may need to shampoo daily, others every other day, others even once a week.

** Massage your scalp with your fingertips (not your nails) daily to stimulate and promote circulation to your scalp.

** The water you use to wash your hair should neither be too hot, or too cold. Be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly in order to get all of the soap out and then maximize the shine.

** To begin with combing, first separate hair into small sections. Untangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb, carefully work from the ends in a downward direction only.

** After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.

** Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun.

** Don't over shampoo - the heat and sun will already dry hair - too much shampoo will make it even dryer.

** Don't use hot water when shampooing or rinsing your hair.

** Do not brush on wet hair as Hair is weakest when it is wet and brushing can easily damage it.

** Try to minimize the use of blow dryer as the strong heat tends to damage the hair, also the moisture lost makes them look rough and lifeless. Give your hair a break from that blow dryer, those curling irons and so many perms.

** Use your fingertips, and never your nails, to gently scrub your scalp.

** Use only a wooden or plastic comb never rubber.
