Gone is Maria with her coconut oil. Along with these beauty enhancers, however, is the danger of damaging hair and turning it into a clowning tragedy instead.

Damage to the hair is usually caused by heat (irons, blow dryers, curlers, heat lamps, etc.), chemicals (color, perms, relaxers, poor chemicals, etc.), or poor diet (lack of proteins and essential fatty acids). Damaged hair stays as is until it grows out or is cut off.

Below are tips to help you prevent hair damage:

• Do not blow-dry hair completely. Leave a little moisture. If you really can't live without blow-drying your hair, just flip it upside down and dry only the roots on low heat.
• Never brush wet or damp hair
