Just because your relaxed doesnt mean you have to skip the natural threads. Natural knowledge aids in stretching.

Keeping a clean scalp is ideal. Trying to prolong a style isn't worth the flaky, dry, overwhelming stinky scalp.

When using oil, place it in a spray bottle and lightly spray throughout hair for even distribution, focusing on the ends; comb through. This will prevent your hair from being too oily and weighed down.

Enjoy your hair. No point having hair hidden year round. Release it sometimes, "occasionally" will not harm your hair.

If you're veteran to hair care, there's nothing wrong with "re-educating" yourself on healthy hair practices. Look at Youtube videos and visit the newbie threads here on the site. Sometimes you can stumble upon surprising yet useful information.

Use a cotton t-shirt after washing to dry, it's more gentle on your hair

Practice with the tension method and cold air blow drying after washes can reduce the need to flat iron. ETA: Also speeds up air drying.

Thank you ,some people seem so scared to let their hair "breathe".

Don't massage waxy ,heavy products on the ends it can cause breakage

 

[Aireen]

Air-drying will save you from mid-shaft splits, split ends, and breakage.

When on airplanes, cover your hair (wig, scarf, cap, etc) to protect your hair and scalp from WHATEVER is on the seat's headrest.

LOL that reminds me...

TIP: If your holy grail staple is rumored to be getting discontinued, stock up on it if you spot it ASAP. DO. NOT. WAIT.

 

[ilong]

Don't take down any braids (cornrows, weave tracks, etc) dry. Moisturize for easier take down - better retention

 

[gn1g]

super detangler: apply moisturizing conditioner to hair using the shingle(?) method then pour oil on top, comb will glide thru the hair.

 

[CurliDiva]

If you get overwhelmed, dont CUT just take a deep breath and condition instead '!

 

[PJaye]

- Enjoying one’s hair does not necessitate that it be worn loose or in a specific style; there is plenty of pleasure to be had from a banging bun, ponytail or updo.

- If your hair is fine and prone to tangle, be wary of braided and twisted styles because they may encourage knots to form.

If you want to dc with heat but don't have a dryer wrap Saran wrap around your hair and then place a plastic cap on top. It helps trap body heat.

[closertomydreams]

Slippery elm is your friend. It can be used as a leave in, deep conditioner and detangler.

 

[sckri23]

If your dc and leave in is the same, save on product by dcing then airdry (or blow dry)

And cholesterol is a protein. Don't forget

 

[ilong]

Save empty amber colored bottles (from oils) to use as travel size bottles for mixes, castor oil, etc.

 

[ilong]

hot dog water makes your hair really strong and shiny.

[Angel of the North]

If head scarves don't work for you, tip: Sew a silk/satin scarf or piece of material on to the backs of your pillowcases, then you can flip the pillow at night and your hair will be resting on the silk or satin material.

Green smoothies are packed with beneficial nutrients for your hair and they're easy to take with you in a travel mug.

 

[GWtheVoice]

Check the dew point for the day. Anything below 40 or above 60, you might want to avoid using glycerin products. This helps avoid problems with dryness or frizz.

 

[GWtheVoice]

Knowing your hair properties saves money. Don’t just try products because someone else’s hair looks like yours. Try stuff based on matching hair properties like density and porosity.

 

[baddison]

Never attempt to cut/trim your hair when you are deep into a stretch. Your new growth is potentially different lengths all over your head. Either wait til your relaxer to trim, or straighten out all that ng first, so you can get an accurate reading of your hairs length before you attemp to cut/trim it.

 

[Aireen]

Plain ol' EVOO, EVCO, Castor Oil and the rest of the old school oils are just as good as the exotic ones. You don't need to waste money trying to find peach oil and apricot oil if regular EVOO/EVCO/etc. is working just fine.
