What do you NEVER NEGLECT to do?

[Whimsy]

With your hair care regimen, what aspect do you always do without fail?

We may not moisturize or DC as often as we should or whatever, but what one thing do you never neglect to do?

For me, it's sleep with a satin scarf and on a satin pillowcase. My hair may be a train wreck underneath it some nights, but I will always always put on my scarf before bed.

What about you?

I always oil my scalp...idk but if I dont do it daily, my hair starts feeling itchy and dry

DC I never ever neglect to do my deep conditioning

 

[Nixx22jam]

I never go to sleep without my silk scarf. I even wake up in the middle of the night to fix it.

 

[lushlady]

Detangle before washing.

Put EVOO on my hair daily. I may not always moisturize, but I will not go a full day without putting EVOO on my strands, especially my ends.

I may feel lazy but it never manifests in my regimen
deep condition
get trims-I don't give my ends a chance to get bad or get thin
sleep with silk scarf or silk pillowcase
keep my hair properly moisturized/oiled
protect hair from the cold
to use heat properly -only on freshly washed/dced hair with heat protectant at a non heat damaging temp for me

I always sleep with my satin scarf w/ a satin bonnet over the scarf so if in the middle of the night, the scarf comes undone I have the bonnet to protect my hair. I also sleep with the bonnet inside out.

Shampoo and condition. My hair gets weighed down easily and accumulates build-up pretty fast, so I *must* shampoo at least 1x a week or else it's gonna start to feel gross. I always condition my hair too. Earlier this fall, I went through periods where I didn't deep condition with heat, but I still conditioned my hair while in the shower. I'm back on track with my regular dc's now, though.

acv rinse after wash

 

[BlkOnyx488]

I always baggie my head. and my ends during the day. I am obsessed with not letting my hair dry out.

I never neglect to deep condition.
I am a deep conditioning fool lol... if it's one thing, my hair is conditioned My hair is deep conditioned w/ my heating cap 1x/wk at least... maybe if 'm itching to try a new product I bought I will deep condition again to test the new conditioner out, but typically once a week will suffice. Otherwise, I will wash mid week in the shower and condition in there.

 

[qchelle]

I always DC after a poo
I always wear my silk bonnet

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I Never Neglect To:

Tie my hair up before Bed
Weekly Deep Condition (Steam)
Use a weekly Reconstructor or Light Protein Treatment followed up with Moisture
Use a Porosity Control Product to Close/Seal Cuticle after Steaming
Daily Moisturizing & Sealing *because I'm under a Wig and it's Cold Out*
Take My Hair Vitamin

 

[jahzyira]

I forever INFUSE my hair with ceramides..... My hair is addicted like crack:lovedrool:

 

[Poopiedo]

Moisturize and Seal
Cowash several times a week
Wear a satin scarf or bonnet to bed
Shampoo and deep condition once a week with steam
Use Porosity Control once a week

I used to neglect to do these things but when my hair started turning around, it became my routine.

 

[Solitude]

cover my hair at night - basically because I've done that my whole life.

 

[Ms Lala]

I can't remember the last time I skipped deep conditioning. My hair feels soooo much better when I do.

 

[Lynnerie]

I always cover my hair at night or make sure I'm sleeping on a satin pillow. Even if i'm laying on the couch I always protect my hair.

 

[Leeda.the.Paladin]

Like you OP I always protect my hair at night.

I also always deep condition.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Sleep on a satin pillowcase and seal after I moisturize.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

i have two. i always do.

1. deep condition. i can't live without my deep con. period.

2. sleep with a scarf. i carry a scarf in my purse on girls nite's out in case i end up crashing at a friends house. i must have my scarf! i will lay a scarf on the sofa pillow to keep my hair off anything that can absorb moisture.

tie for third place is moisturize and seal. i always do this daily.

i never neglect to shampoo weekly. its just making a world of difference in how my scalp feels. i may have been able to get away with cowashes when i had a twa, but now it is too hard with all this hair blocking my scalp. ♥

 

[Triniwegian]

Co-wash. I co-was every single day, the water on my scalp feels so darn good.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Deep condition once a week. If I skip a cowash, I am still pretty good cor the week.

moisturize....my hair loves oils and leave-ins...

[Nasdaq_Diva]

I never, never, nevah forget to detangle my hair. Whether I have time to co-wash, pre-poo etc..I always make time for finger detangling.

 

[EllePixie]

I'm with Jane, I have to shampoo weekly or my scalp feels so suffocated...my hair is thick and unless I part my hair it's hard for my poor scalp to breathe!

Also, I am a moisturizing/conditioning junkie! I ALWAYS use a leave-in conditioner and moisturize before bed.
