Her mane objective:
To provide men and women with healthy hair-care education, maintenance strategies, and a variety of styles that promote healthy hair.

If you have natural hair:
"Natural hair that is coiled or curly needs daily moisture and lubrication to prevent dryness of the hair strand."

If you have pressed or straightened hair:
"Heat protectants should be applied before using heat styling tools! This will save the hair shaft from damage."

If you have relaxed hair:
"Deep conditioning treatments on a regular basis are imperative to maintain the moisture and protein balance the hair strand needs to prevent breakage."
