Do not expose your hair to extremes of temperature. Forget about any sort of back-combing. Rubber bands are taboo.Never use a btruh or comb on wet hair (See General Hair Tone-up Tips).
Do visit a salon every 5 to 6 weeks to have your split ends trimmed off. Make this a must unless you really fancy a porcupine look.
Avoid pulling hair severely from your face.
