Since I straightened out my hair care, it's been growing, and the ends look great. Here's what I do for my hair:

Never wash the hair with shampoo anymore, only conditioner, such as VO5 Hydrators or Free Me Freesia, Suave Daily Clarifying conditioner, or White Rain Extra Body. If you buy these, make sure you get the exact product, as all these brands make lots of different products, some of which are not good for much of anything. Dilute the conditioner with 1/2 as much water, to help it penetrate better. Then use it by the handy. All these brands are really cheap, so cost is not an issue. Do a scalp massage while washing, to remove any skin buildup (an issue only if you tend to get dandruff), then repeat again, to do the length once and the scalp twice in all.

Then apply a moisturizing conditioner, like Elasta QP Intense or Hollywood Beauty Carrot Cholesterol. This would be a conditioner without any silicones (ingredients ending in -cone, read the ingredients list). Finally, finish off with some Pantene Pro-V, and comb out while I'm rinsing.

Some people complain of damaging buildup from the silicones in Pantene Pro-V. To prevent this, start your wash by wetting your hair with a mix of 1/2 cup vinegar in warm water at least once a week. Never had any buildup problem.

Squeeze out your hair, then put it up in a towel. Take it down, comb again, then put it in a dry towel one more time. By the time, take it down, it's more damp than wet. Now put 2 drops of jojoba on your fingertips, and work this into the ends, and also the section on the back of your neck that breaks off short. This seems to prevent that "dry ends" feeling, and makes the hair even sleeker.

Sometimes also add a couple of drops of jojoba or coconut oil the next day after wash, but if your are wearing your hair up, usually forget to do it until it's too late.
