What are some secrets for Dominican hair care?

Dominican hair care typically involves heavy conditioning and moisturizing, and it uses products rich in protein and fatty acids. This advice is especially useful for those with curly hair, but it can be beneficial to nearly any hair-care routine.

Coat your hair with an oil, such as avocado or coconut oil, for 20 minutes prior to shampooing. Use a moisturizing shampoo. Deep condition your hair at least once weekly, using heat when possible. In between washes, use serums and hair polishers to protect the hair and seal in moisture.

A specialty hair style is the Dominican blow out, which involves conditioning and detangling the hair, then setting it in rollers and drying it in a hooded dryer.
