I would appreciate any and all tips you have on hair care.

I've been getting my hair professionally done for about 6 years now. However, I'm trying to learn how to do my hair on my own.

Also, what can I do about my poofy hair? I did my perm yesterday for the first time on my own, and now my hair is reeaally frizzy. Should I use a hot curler or a flat iron maybe?

P.S. Im African American.
