Best Hair 
If Your Hair Is Curly:
Since your hair is prone to dryness, use a moisturizing shampoo
and conditioner. After washing, gently blot hair dry with an
absorbent towel and apply 4 to 6 drops of silicone-based shine
serum (the thicker your hair, the more you can use). Detangle
hair with fingers, and allow it to air dry.
If Your Hair Is Wavy:
Lather up with a shine-enhancing shampoo and conditioner. Rinse
well.
Smooth and separate wet strands with wide-tooth comb, then spritz
a silicone-based shine-enhancing spray from ends to roots. Dry
hair using a blowdryer with a tapered nozzle to direct air down
the hair shaft and seal the cuticle.
If Your Hair Is Straight:
Your hair tends to lie flat against your scalp, where it can
accumulate shine-dulling grease.
To avoid this, use a deep-cleaning shampoo daily and apply a
clarifying gel treatment to roots once a week to prevent oil
buildup. After blowing hair dry, use a flatiron to enhance sheen.
How To Deal With Dandruff
Some are of the opinion that at the early stages of hair loss,
dandruff begins to increase. However, an increase in the amount
of dandruff does not necessarily mean that there is a "cause-effect"
relationship resulting in the thinning of hair.
You should think of excessive dandruff as a warning sign as
far as the health of the hair is concerned. 
Dandruff is made up of bits of dead skin that peel away from
the scalp as a result of the effects of metabolism. Normally,
dandruff, in its early stages of growth, is not visible to the
naked eye. It becomes visible only after enlarging into pieces
of dead skin (what we normally call "dandruff") as
a result of the propagation of bacteria and/or problems with
seborrhoeic scalp conditions.
Persons suffering from prolonged dandruff are said to have a
dandruff ailment. This type of ailment, accompanied by itchiness,
can lead to eczema if it worsens. Suppressing the propagation
of bacteria is one means of dealing with fatty dandruff. This
is because bacteria is one of the causes of this condition.
If possible, try to shampoo on a daily basis to prevent bacterial
propagation. One effective means of dealing with dandruff is
to disinfect the scalp area with commercially available medicated
shampoos specifically designed for dandruff removal. However,
daily shampooing can lead to eczema for persons who suffer from
dry scalps. Shampooing once every three days may be ideal for
such persons.
Persons who suffer from persistent, hard-to-cure dandruff are
urged to consult a skin specialist.
