You should get in the practice of styling or maintaining your hair once a week at most. We have found that the less you touch your hair the more healthier it grows. You should be sleeping with a satin scarf wrap on your head or laying on a satin pillowcase while sleeping because cotton robs your hair of moisture.
Spend more time detangling the middle and back or your hair because this is where most women get tangled up. This is due to sleeping positions, couches and headrest. These amongst other things touch sections of your hair more frequently than other parts. Remember no matter how gentle you are in detangling your hair you will still get some that will come out. This is normal just be sure to practice working snags carefully with your fingers and the denim brush.
