Wow. Ok...
1. Greasing my scalp and hair was the only moisture my hair got, and even then only every other wash I think
2. DC to me was 15 minutes under the hair dryer once a week with whatever conditioner I found lying around
3. Not balancing moisture and protein
4. Washing once a week, sometimes every other week
5. Relaxing my almost bald crown in between my 6 week relaxers thinking that it wasn't growing because the texture of the hair was just too nappy to be healthy without constant relaxing
6. Running a fine toothed comb through my weak crown trying to get it to lay down and cover my scalp on a daily basis
7. Blow drying and flat ironing my roots without any heat protectant ALL THE TIME
8. Putting gel on my hair and curling it with a hot curling iron and loving to hear the sizzle
9. Lottabody setting lotion
10. Minoxidil on my crown, thinking I was balding when all it needed was some MOISTURE
There's probably more, but that's all I can think of right now. I was completely clueless. I just wish I had found LHCF YEARS ago. But I'm here now and looking forward to MBL in 2010!
