Condition it each time you wash your hair. A leave on conditioner or hair serum post towel drying your hair is recommended. This helps renew the shine and maintain the oil balance and moisture in the hair. Rebonded hair requires deep hair conditioning or a hair mask every fortnight. Hair treatments at home such as masks using aloe vera gel, curd or olive oil with an egg would also help rejuvenate the glow.
