There is no such thing as BAD hair that NEEDS to be relaxed. You think your hair is BAD, it is probably due to you being a poor stylist

Another myth: Braids make your hair grow.
Truth: Braids help to retain length because they are a low/no-manipulation style. However, if your hair isn't well cared for while in braids, your hair can suffer.
This leads me to another myth ...
Myth: You don't have to care for your real hair while in braids.
Truth: Your real hair still needs regular moisture and proper cleansing while in braids. Conditioning is also important.
Relaxing your hair every 4 weeks is not NECESSARY to prevent/minimize breakage. You can successfully stretch relaxers months at a time with the proper regimen (deep conditioning, low manipulation, etc.).
.... I remember growing up thinking that if I didn't run to get a relaxer at week 4, my hair would break off.

5.Dipping the ends of the hair in scalding hot water is a great way to moisturize them.
it's come up before, i think. but "dirty hair grows faster". . . nope. clean scalp is a healthy scalp. the reason "dirty hair" will "grow faster" is probably because u rarely manipulate it.
come to think of it, the whole good/bad hair thing. my mom used to smack my cousins every time they said i had good hair because i was mixed.There is no such thing as BAD hair that NEEDS to be relaxed. You think your hair is BAD, it is probably due to you being a poor stylisterplexed
I disagree. Coconut oil has an affinity for proteins. I use it on my ends for this reason...and because Jade21 said so a loooooong time ago.

Coconut oil contains protein and actually penetrates and acts to "repair" damage.
