use neutrogena shampoo and conditioner, or l'oreal elseve shampoo and condititoner... don't tie your hair too tight -- like with a rubber band (it would be best if you wouldn't at all), don't go walking under the sun without any hat or umbrella. for the meantime don't grow your hair too long because it's much prone to breakage that average-length hair. and after taking a bath, don't ever wring your hair with the towel. hope this helps
