One Tip - No Repeat

[ilong]

Wool/angora scarves rubbing against hair leads to free (unwanted) haircuts.

 

[BlaqBella]

Most techniques do not have to be administered seriously, to the point of militancy, once your hair has reached a certain level of health, unless you see a setback coming. Pay attention!

ETA: Great thread Op, and contributors. That's wassup!

light dusting of your hair regularly can help you avoid big haircuts and trims....get at those ends!

 

[havilland]

use an applicator bottle to dilute shampoo and conditioners with water to cleanse braids under weaves or wigs.

aloe vera gel can help soothe and heal a damaged scalp after relaxer touch ups.

Need ceramides? ----- Hot Six Oil has 'em. it costs $5 for a big bottle and can be purchased at Target.

 

[havilland]

.....but on the real. Lorraine Massey from Deva Curl has recipes for using water from cooking pasta as a nutrient rinse for the hair.

 

[sonychari]

Most conditioners work fine without heat.

 

[sonychari]

Deep conditioning with dry heat i.e. sitting under a hard bonnet hair dryer, will make your hair dry and difficult to to deal with.

 

[sonychari]

If you're going to DC with heat, use a steamer.

 

[Curlykale]

a conditioner shouldn't make your hair feel drier than before: see if your hair likes silicones or not.

 

[Curlykale]

see if your hair likes mineral oil or not.

 

[Curlykale]

see if your hair likes glycerine or not.

 

[Curlykale]

You can do anything with the right conditioner: wash, treat, detangle, style and moisturize.

 

[SherylsTresses]

Try cowashing (silicone-free) instead of using a moisturizer on dry hair sometimes.

 

[SherylsTresses]

If you don't have time to DC for an hour or so, try DCing as first step in the shower; rinse out as last step in shower.

 

[SherylsTresses]

If you don't want to spend your money on protein conditioners, try using an egg yolk and EVOO in your moisturizing DCer.

 

[SherylsTresses]

Sometimes scrubbing your scalp while cowashing will get rid of scalp buildup.

 

[SherylsTresses]

Baggy bun can be excellent for retention.

[SherylsTresses]

When shampooing/conditioning or detangling in sections, try parting those sections straight with a rat tail comb. It will keep breakage around the parted area at a minimum, else the breakage will become more noticeable over time.

 

[havilland]

I don't think I saw this one before----

wash your combs and brushes regularly. Keeps dirt and bacteria off your hair. A clean head/scalp is a step toward a healthy head/scalp.

 

[ryanshope]

If you wear weaves; please don't it in your hair for more than 4 months(too long in my opinion)...doing more harm then good.

 

[ryanshope]

Some old school stuff REALLY is good for our hair-sulfur, cade oil , pine tar..I LUB all of these topicals.

 

[ilong]

Whey protein (powdered form for shakes) can accelerate hair growth.
