Achieving healthy hair requires daily maintenance, but stress and overstyling can wreak havoc on your locks. According to "Essence," African American hair can be more easily stripped of moisture and can be more prone to heat and color damage than other types of hair, and this can cause your hair to break or even fall out. Restore your hair's vitality, strength and shine with hair-care products designed to moisturize parched locks and encourage growth.

Biolustre Intense Repair Kit

"Essence" notes that up to 40 percent of those who experience hair loss in the United States are women. To combat this problem, the magazine recommends Biolustre Intense Repair Kit, which contains a cleansing shampoo, repair treatment, maintenance shampoo and daily conditioner. Each of these products has been formulated with a synthetic polymer that attaches to individual strands and encourages your hair's natural shine to come through. The company promises that people with damaged hair can use this collection of products and have their hair restored to health after one application. These products claim to moisturize, thicken and condition your locks, and the ingredients will seal in the treatments' benefits to help protect your hair from future damage.

Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor

If your hair is prone to frizz, split ends and other types of breakage, "Marie Claire" suggests applying a deep conditioner once a week, such as Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor. This product promises to make your hair shinier, stronger and easier to manage and style. It claims that you will feel a difference right after using the conditioner, and that your hair will not only look and feel smoother, but that it will also become stronger from the inside out. The company notes that this reconstructing treatment has been formulated with the highest amount of the brand's quadramine complex than any other product, and this blend of ingredients works to restore damaged hair to a healthy state.

SoftSheen-Carson Roots of Nature Stimulating Scalp Oil

Hair must be strong, nourished and damage-free to properly grow, and "Essence" recommends using products from the SoftSheen-Carson Roots of Nature line, such as the Stimulating Scalp Oil, to promote hair health. This scalp oil promises to give moisture back to your dry scalp and help to restore its natural balance of oils. It claims it will heal any damage or flaking, as well as relieve the tightness that can occur when your scalp has not been properly cared for. Ingredients such as green tea and shea butter work to condition and nourish your scalp, and the product also claims to stimulate blood flow, which will encourage the growth of healthier hair.
