Well I am a big proponet of healthy on the inside to make things healthy on the outside. I would make sure I was drinking water and eating right. Second I would add in vitamins. Once thats set, you can look at products. I really love kinky curly products, but no matter the product if you arent protecting you hair, no products will save you .

Well I agree with what the writer said above and I think too that length retention should also be a goal of yours so you would have to incorporate protective styling (if you haven't done so already) which is really just protecting the ends of your hair - which is the oldest part and is exposed to the elements. So instead of twist or braid outs you can wear twists, buns, braids, wigs and other styles for a while and interchange between these styling options and wearing your hair out. Also you can up your moisture regimen by using your regular leave-in but seal the ends by adding some sort of oil or butter over the moisture you've jsut added.

Like Kimberly said a healthy inside makes for a beautiful and healthy outside. Choosing a diet full of green leafy vegetables will give you that and more. Since changing my diet a year ago my nails and hair have experienced tremendous strength and growth. Hair's thickness is something that we are born with but can be manipulated with a gorgeous hair cut.

While healthy insides are nice, you need to find out what type of products work well for your hair type and stick to them.Some naturally curly haired women are sensitive to silicone and protein. Some love them and use them as much as possible. Its really up to you. You need to experiment to find out which products work for you. Try finding natural hair blogs. They offer a lot of testimonials, tutorials, and product reviews that are really helpful when just starting out. I know of plenty of good sites if you need any specifics (I'm not sure if i can mention them here). I'm a 3c/4a mix. I've gone from a cute little twa to below bra strap length hair in only a few years, just listening to what my hair needs and following a pretty simple regimen. Its not impossible it just takes a bit of patience. You just pick up lots of little tips along the way.
