let's see...

1. blowdrying and hot ironing my hair every week
2. getting relaxers every 4 weeks
3.sleeping on cotton pillow cases
4. using heavy greasies in my hair
5. using super strenght relaxer on my fine strand type 4a hair
6.trimming every 4 weeks (and then wondering why my hair didn't grow!)
7.not sectioning my hair when washing
8.doing "deep treatments" with hot oils...I taught that was enough
9.combing my hair from my roots down as opposed to combing it from my ends up.
10. relaxing hair 1 day after taking out braids....

ignorance is bliss!
