For great hair, just ask the Internet!
"I don't know if I'm the best person to ask this question because I'm a guy and also, I suck at hair maintenance. My best trick for hair maintenance is use whatever product I have and then hope for the best. But also, probably the best idea is to look online for the type of hair, the type of shampoo, the type of this, the type of that. But for me, I'll just use whatever is at hand."

Keep that hair on the down-low
"The best trick I can recommend for hair is keeping it low. You don't have to worry about spending hours in the mirror trying to style it. You don't have to worry about your hair getting caught in anything. You don't have to wash it constantly. Just a few strokes with a brush, and you're ready to go."

Keep healthy hair away from heat
"So, I have two tips for maintaining thin hair because I have thin hair. Um, I wash my hair every second day, and the reason is the natural oils in my hair actually keep it healthier. And the second tip that I have is don't use the hairdryer to blow dry your hair that often because the heat will actually damage your hair. So just let it drip dry or use a towel, and that'll make it a lot healthier."

Please, take care of your hair!
"A trick for good hair maintenance, particularly if you're Black, is to take care of it! Wash it. Love it. Take care of it. You know, don't just let it grow naps and just hang their looseless and don't do anything. And for God sakes, comb it out once in a while, Jesus."

Don't buy cheap shampoo!
"This might or might not seem relevant, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Do not buy cheap shampoo. I had bought from the dollar store a couple of times when times were rough, and that stuff was like oil in my hair, and I swear the hair was starting to fall out. So, once I got back to some normal name brand stuff and was able to use that every day, it leveled out. But don't cut corners when it comes to shampoo. That's the best trick I can give you for maintaining good hair maintenance."

Avoid heat for good hair maintenance.
"Hair care, hair maintenance. I would say, don't use heat on your hair as much as possible. Let it air dry. Don't rub the hair with your towel; just kind of, like, pat it dry. Um, don't brush it when it's wet. I don't know. This is like my go-to hairstyle. I'm not really a hair maintenance person."

The right products are key for hair maintenance
"I think for me good hair maintenance relies a lot on good product that can add some volume to my hair without making it too voluminous. But ultimately, I think just finding a good hairstylist that can tell you what to do for your hair because everyone's going to be a little different. That's honestly what helped me the most, so. "

Just wash your hair
"You know, I've been told I have great hair by many people over the course of my life. It's thick and luscious and curly, and I'm sure you're all very jealous. What's my secret to maintaining this? What's my hack, you ask? Nothing. Wash it. Just wash your hair. It's all you gotta do. You know, have good genetics and wash your hair. There's no bigger secret than that. There's no hacks, baby. This is au naturel."

Don't wash your hair every day
"One trick for good hair maintenance is to not wash it every single day. Um, you can obviously shower daily, but don't shampoo and conditioner it daily. I'd say like twice a week, three times a week. That'd be good natural hair oils."

Take it for what it is
Wash your hair daily
"Okay. Trick for good hair maintenance... I mean, I'm still working on it. I'm always trying new things to see if it's gonna work for my hair, but I like to wash my hair every day. Now, that might be controversial. Some people think it dries it out, but I like to wash it every day. I think it's good to get the oil out and the dirt out after a long day. Another good tip is as much less heat as possible. So, you don't want to use too much heat or too many chemicals on your hair. You kind of want to keep it natural, if possible."
