Deep Condition - With all that you do to your hair — blow dry, braid, curl, etc. — your hair needs some extra TLC. Invest in a good deep conditioner to use every week to add strength, moisture and elasticity.

FYI: Steamers don’t have to be really expensive, either. Try the Huetiful Steamer or Q-Redew Handheld Steamer. (Photo: Huetiful)
