Adding onto these, may repeat information by mistake but it'll be a collection of the knowledge I have acquired...
Throw away hair brushes especially plastic bristle ones. The only brush I found to be ok are the one made with soft hair bristles but not for detangling, only for smoothing hair out. Combs cause less breakage. Use a wide tooth comb and fingers for most tangles, smaller tooth ones to get finer tangles, smooth out fly aways and frizz and for styling. Hair is best combed wet, always.

Air drying is best, even cotton will cause frizz. The best way to dry hair and prevent friction from roughing it up is to gently squeeze water out with your hands and giving it time to air dry completely. Towels and cotton shirts are good if you are in a hurry, but blot hair with them rather than rubbing. But again it is better to air dry always.

If your hair feels good, not too oily, not too dry, ideal basically, there is no need to shampoo, condition, oil or wet it that day. I am not saying to skip showers, but avoid getting your hair wet on these days. Hot water will thin out the oil and open your cuticles up which isn't necessary and even harmful if your hair is in its ideal state. When it is at its best just leave it alone.

Adding gelatin to you shampoo is good for upping the quality of the product. My ratio is 1 packet of gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup water for every 8 oz of shampoo. If you have thinner hair use half the packet instead of the full one. Gelatin is protein and this will help make your hair stronger. The process of shampooing opens up your cuticles allowing product to seep in better. This is why I do not recommend adding gelatin to conditioner as conditioner is sealing your cuticles. This will help keep your hair from breaking while also making it so you get more mileage from your shampoo as the shampoo is thicker and you need less of it. When rinsing out conditioner do so with cold water.
