Let us know what works best for you!
If it works keep doing it!Sadly, when I have it in a weave, but I am a reformed weaveaholic.
If it works keep doing it!
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.When I leave it alone.
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.
Crochets help me too!!
Some may think this is too long but about eight weeks! But honestly I have gone three months many times before.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?
I am also sticking to the same product line!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?
I'm so guilty of letting my hair dry out to a crisp....all the time. That's a major cause of breakage for me....
