Wash your hair as infrequently as possible since it strips the hair of moisture. When you do lather up, add a hydrating treatment to help seal the hair shaft.

Treatment: Apply a leave-in conditioning treatment like Dark and Lovely Soak It Up Oil Cocktail, $9.99, to damp hair. Comb it through your hair, and don't rinse -- your hair will soak up the extra moisture.

Styling: Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Styling Pudding, $12, shapes kinky curls and tight coils while hydrating with avocado, jojoba and macadamia oils.
