How do you ...

[MisTatim]

I keep seeing that we should manipulate the hair as little as possible. Then how do you wrap your hair?

Also, am I applying protein and then moisturizer?

Hey MisTatim, welcome to the forum!

I don't think that every single person on here would agree that less manipulation is best. There are many members who comb, and wrap, their hair daily.... and their hair is thriving.

Then there are others, like myself, who do believe in minimizing manipulation. And even within that category, some of us are more extreme than others (lol). I am one of the extreme ones. My hair is very soft/thin/fine/fragile.... and so i choose NOT to wrap my hair. I wrapped it each night in the past, in the same direction, and found that it thinned severely on one side. I stopped wrapping it and within a few months I started seeing improvement.

Now i sleep with it either pin curled or just loose under a satin bonnet.

If you get time, check out my Hair Journal (in my siggy) to look thru my albums called Relaxed Hair and Progress pics, and i talk more about my battle with thinning due to over-manipulation, and how i overcame that.

In regards to protein/moisture.... Sistaslick used to have a FANTASTIC sticky that addressed that very issue. So check at the top of the forum threads for that sticky. It was incredibly thorough!!! U can also look in my hair journal again, under Staple Products, and i talk about the protein and moisture i use, as well as my regimen.

HTH!!!!
