Poll: What's your style???

[ccd]

Haven't been logged on in a while and I see alot of new and old members...things have changed....I am just curious, who is natural, transitioning, relaxed or texlaxed?

Also,

What 3 tips have you learned in your journey for healthy hair?

 

[ccd]

So I guess I'll start.....

Relaxed


I learned to:

Stretch my relaxers to 20+ weeks, not on purpose but learning different techniques allowed me to stay without a relaxer longer.

Handle with Care.....I am gentle with my hair at all times

Brushing with a soft boars head brush

[SkinnyMocah]

I am relaxed. I have learned so much in such a short time (thanks mizanimami and sis!). Mostly I've learned that products matter-- they don't have to be expensive but they do have to be effective. My hair needed moisture and deep conditioning and daily attention and I was doing so much damage with daily heat. I have also learned the importance of weekly washing and conditioning. The texture of my hair and manageability has greatly improved.

Relaxed checking in!!

Three things I have learned since joining LHCF:

1. Moisture is important: esp. for color treated hair (used to be afraid to put moisturizing products in my hair for fear they would weigh my hair down)

2. Stretching my relaxers: has allowed my hair an opportunity to attempt to get thicker; still got some ways to go

3. Water is not the enemy
