Healthy hair tips and tricks:
1.) don't wash your hair everyday. this will strip the hair from its natural oils which will result in dry, frizzy, hard to manage hair. I recommend washing the hair at minimum every 2-3 days. this will give your hair time to restore your hair which will make it healthier and more manageable.
2.) use sulfate free shampoos and conditioners. I recommend the loreal "ever" line. it's affordable and found at walmart, target, etc.
3.) don't brush your hair while it's wet. this will cause breakage and split ends. if you must brush your hair, use a wet brush or a wide tooth comb for minimal damage.
4.) say goodbye to your heat styling tools and hello to heatless hairstyles. my favorites are heatless curls, braids, and buns. you could always look some up on youtube though (:
5.) in between washes, use a dry shampoo and leave in conditioner. this will make your hair appear less oily so you can go about your day without feeling completely disgusting. I also like wearing my hair in a messy bun in between washes because it makes my oily mess less noticeable lol.
6.) use hot oil treatments/hair masks at least once a week. they will keep your hair strong and healthy.
7.) don't use elastics with the metal piece. it KILLS your hair. it will cause damage and breakage over time. with this being said, avoid tight ponytails or hairstyles. that will make your hair weak at one spot and it will eventually give up and split.
8.) try to sleep with silk pillowcases. cotton ones over time with you tossing and turning will break the hair and cause split ends. you could also put your hair in a loose hairstyle to prevent damage.

I have the same. Like she said, don't wash every day. Try putting your hair in braids every night and after showers. Also Not your moms hair conditioner helped. Also, Arran oil!

Great tips! I would add start using a boar brush they help get the natural oils from your scalp down to the ends of your hair.
I've also heard great things about using coconut oil as a mask and plan to buy some next time I'm at the store to try it out.
