What works for me:
-Co-washing
-Using regular conditioner as a leave-in
-Minimizing usage of cones, little to none
-Shampooing w/ an SLS-free poo at least once a week, sometimes twice
-Keeping a good balance between moisture & protein
-Not being a slave to using stylers daily (gels, foaming lotions, etc)
-twist-outs every now and then


I use the Maxi-Glide MP to flat-iron *not shown*
