Once a week apply a deep conditioning treatment. You can use deep conditioning treatments like olive oil, argan oil, avocado oil or coconut oil.

You can also purchase a hair mask or hair cream and apply it.

Use a natural treatment like olive oil, mayonnaise and an egg or soak in full-fat milk. Leave these treatments in for 2 to 3 hours and rinse them out thoroughly without applying shampoo or conditioner.
