Careful brushing or combing will help keep it free from tangles.
Never sleep with wet hair
In order to minimize the risk of tangling your hair, make sure it is dry before going to bed.

Eat healthy

By eating low-fat proteins, dairy products, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, you can help your hair reach its full potential without supplements.
