You should also take time each week to purify your hair and remove product build-up from your scalp and hair.

Look for natural or organic styling products that are free of harsh chemicals. Shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate free, gels and hairsprays without alcohol and natural hair dyes such as henna are good places to start. These types of products are generally more gentle on hair and may prevent damaged hair from fraying or frizzing more than usual.
