found some tips myself
Grooming
. Use a shampoo & conditioner that suits your hair type. Choose products that are gentle, preferably without any harsh detergent like sodium lauryl sulfate. For daily washes, use a shampoo that is mild, gentle & moisturising.
. Don't use too much conditioner or else it makes hair greasy.
. Ingredients such as coconut oil moisturizes dry hair, makes hair softer & soothes the scalp; tea conditions & softens hair; jojoba moisturizes permed or chemically treated hair & makes hair manageable; silicone makes hair silky; lemon gives hair a natural shine & conditions; honey conditions deeply; henna leaves are natural hair dyes; apple cider vinegar & rosemary oil encourage hair growth & control dandruff.
. Eggs contain lecithin which helps to moisturize dry hair. The next time before you shampoo, beat an egg & apply it on your dry hair & cover with a plastic bag for 15 minutes or so (body heat intensifies conditioning) then rinse off totally with cold water.
. Olive oil is a good conditioner too. Massage onto hair & leave it for 10 minutes before shampoo.
. Massaging your scalp with your fingertips helps the blood to circulate to the scalp.
. On average hair grows about 1.2 to 1.25 cm a month.
. Hair is most fragile when wet.
. To make hair soft & shiny after washing, blot hair gently with towel & then separate with a wide-toothed comb.
. Blow-drying damages hair, causing dryness & split-ends due to the close contact between the heat on the scalp & hair. The next time you blow dry your hair, face the dryer downwards, use a leave-on conditioner for protection & avoid long exposure of both scalp & hair to the strong heat.
. To avoid hair damage (e.g. green hair) while swimming in chlorinated water, wear a swimming cap or deep condition your hair before entering the pool. Also, wash & condition hair as soon as you've finished swimming. See articles below on how to treat green hair.
. Wear a hat if you're going to be outdoors for a long period & condition more often.
. The best hair brush to use is one with bristles made of animal hairs.
. Don't stress your hair with constant perms, dye, highlighting, blow-drying, curlers & strong hair styling products.
. Hair turns grey when melanocytes (cells found in the hair bulb) cease to produce color pigments.

found some tips myself (more)
Nourishment
Poor nutrition, hormonal changes, stress & shock play a major part in affecting the condition, appearance or disapperance of hair.
. Vitamin A - promotes healthy scalp.
Food sources: dark green, orange & yellow fruits & vegetables.
. Vitamin B complex - Regulates the secretion of oil, keeps hair healthy & moisturized.
Food sources: cerals, tomatoes, lean meat, liver, kidney, Brewer's yeast, eggs & green vegetables.
A severe lack of biotin (one of the Vitamin Bs) can lead to hair loss. It works best with Vitamin B5, B12 & folic acid. Food sources: cauliflower, yoghurt, wholemeal bread, bran & bananas.
. Minerals such as zinc, iron & copper promote healthy hair.
Food sources: zinc - lean red meat, chicken, pumpkin seeds & green vegetables; iron - beef, dried apricots, lean red meat, parsely, eggs, wheatgerm & sunflower seeds; copper - animal organs, seafood, egg yolk & whole grains.
A lack of iron is cited to be the cause of hair loss among women who have not reached menpause.
. Proteins - because hair is made up of 97% protein (keratin), consuming enough of it gives hair a natural shine.
Food sources: lean meat, grains & soy.
Winter hair care
. Wash your hair less often so as to strip less of the hair's natural oil.
. Use a dry shampoo if you need to wash. One way to have a dry shampoo is to sprinkle some baby powder onto your hair & comb it off.
. Deep condition once a week. Try massaging your scalp with 4 tablespoons of honey & cover with a plastic bag for 15 minutes or more then rinse off totally with hot water.
Reverse hair loss
. Try drinking this - blend bananas with honey, yoghurt & low-fat milk. A drink rich in biotin can help keep your crowning glory firmly rooted.
. Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc & saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources
. Invert your head while you shampoo & massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.
. Eliminate stress or else it can be disastrous to your precious hair!
. Get enough sleep.
