One easy do-it-yourself conditioning treatment that works well is deep conditioning. After shampooing your hair as normal, wring out the excess water, apply the conditioner of your choice, and cover your hair with a shower cap until the conditioner has a chance to absorb – usually five to ten minutes. Your body heat will activate and allow your conditioner to penetrate the hair.

Although blowouts make your hair look voluminous and full, they may actually be damaging your hair. The key is to keep the dryer on its coolest setting, and keep the tool in continuous motion so that individual patches of hair are not subjected to excessive heat. Work out any knots using your fingers. This will keep you from causing damage to your locks when you brush them out after your hair is dry.
