I simply see it as there are many, many regimines that people who have long healthy hair have. And just about all of them work, mainly for them. Some of the regimines take more time and alot of products(using several different hair products at one time, blowdrying/sitting under dryer,pressing, flat ironing, in some cases prolly all of this in 1 day). Some make it a whooooleprocess where they have to almost take off a day(so it seems) just to take care of their hair well. I have noticed that for me what works is to keep the hair styles simple, to use very little to no heat, MOISTURE, that is so key to me. I may change things up a bit here and there but I keep it the same. When i get to a certain length THEN i plan on manipulating moreso but for special times but other than that still keep things simple as i always do.
