You could try looking for books on african american hair care. But it's not very difficult. The first thing is to use a wide tooth comb (I like the kind with the handle) and get a good natural bristle brush. Get a moisturizing hair cream. I know a lot of people recommend Pink Oil Moisturizer but anything similar will do. And just a quarter size or less rubbed in the hair will do. Yes, it will probably get all soaked up. But don't put more in. It'll just make it greasy. You'll want a lightweight hair grease also to put a bit on the scalp and rub in. Wash weekly or every 2 weeks. Any shampoo and conditioner for dry hair will be ok. I tend to stay away from the less expensive brands like suave and white rain though because they are more drying in my opinion. But I don't necessarily use brands specifically for black hair. I usually go off of how I like the scent. Find a good detangler. I used to use aussie brand. One trick is to comb out while rinsing the hair. The water flowing through the hair will assist in detangling. And then blow dry in small sections with a regular blowdryer and pik attachment. People will have their recommendations on brands but all black hair isn't the same. Just experiment to find out what works.
