When I use less and simple products.
This weeks hair routine included me straightening my hair.
I used a thermal protectant; a touch of Grapeseed oil down the length, and sealed the ends with a touch of shea butter. When I say touch, I mean literally gliding your finger across it to get a thin film.
Results: Soft, not weighed down, and no lingering strong just pressed my hair odors.

I don't enjoy wearing weaves anymore. Maybe I can learn to like it again but eh... it's too expensive to not like it ~$300 + later so I'd rather just not.

My hair does best when I heat straighten it 2 times a month, and leave it alone between washes.

I came in here to say ... when I do nothing to it. It's not good in terms of styling and aesthetics and this usually occurs when I am just super busy with life. BUT. That's when I realize the most hair growth and when it is healthy and thick.

Singin’ the praises of the baggy method
My hair grows (retains) best when I ......
1. Strictly finger detangle;
2. Keep the ends baggied;
3. Leave it alone; and
4. Seal with oil.

My hair grows best when: i keep my hair in cornrows for 3 months under crochet braids.
I regularly moisturize with water and usually seal with oil, followed by a quick scalp massage. I wash and condition in the style every 2 weeks (if possible I actually remove the crochet to shampoo and DC). I change the style at least once during the 3 months.

Sadly, I can’t really say. My hair is the longest it’s ever been and I’m so off and on with what I do.
Leave it braided and don’t use shampoo, just use my dna cowash once a month.
Because I had to have 3 inches cut last month, I’m feeling like I need to do more. It’s like a catch 22.

I have no idea where my hair would be without it. It's my go-to protective style... for now!
How long is suitable for you to leave yours in?

Some may think this is too long but about eight weeks! But honestly I have gone three months many times before.

....I stick to a consistent regimen + patience + coddling my ends
Maintaining moisture/protein balance, gentle manipulation, and tucking my ends. I can’t keep buying everything I see on IG doing what I see do. I’ve been consistent at doing what my hair likes and not following another YTers regimen.

I’m consistent with washing it every week. I use products that work for my hair. A healthy balance of protein and moisture. Trimming my ends regularly, and using the same products consistently, being a product junkie doesn’t help me becuase I noticed most of my growth when I used the same product week after week.

leave it alone.....wash and DC and moisturize weekly AND be consistent with 2 step protein treatments.
This year I want to find a wig....a natural hair looking wig so I can keep my hair cornrowed underneath.
When I first got into hair care 2007-2011 (my best hair years) I was washing and dc'ing weekly, moisturizing only with shea butter, experimented with different DCs and Ayurvedic powders and did regular 2 step protein treatments and got one professional trim each year with self trims and search and destroys. Oh I did use growth aids...I might still have some laying around...
Any wig company recs?

Thanks @TamaraShaniece I'm liking what I'm seeing on fingercomber.....

basking in the sun
- Deep conditioning with heat
- Shea butter helps to retain length
- Consistently moisturizing instead of letting it dry out
- Using more natural products with less ingredients
- Don’t wear my hair out everyday even though I love to

(That used to be me. For the past 3-4 months I make sure I keep my hair moisturized before getting to the crisp moment and it’s improved my curl definition.)
