regimen changes that seem good at first...haha

[youwillrise]

so, i was trying to cut down on manipulation as well as keeping my twists stretched and having less tangling, etc...so i decided that i was gonna cut my big washes down to every other week and cut out my condition washes completely

HAHAHAHA...yeah right.

must have forgotten that i work with toddler & preschool aged sand throwing, snot wiping>>> hair touching children (whom i love dearly) LOL.

so, i think im gonna get back to condition washing a few times a week like i was in the first place.

cant say i didnt try...lol. wishful thinking.

i dont even know what i was thinking with that idea.

i feel you

One time i swore wet bunning was going to be my future. Than I saw my SSKs/ how the center of my hair never dried and quickly made that my past

When I first joined LHCF, all I saw was how stretching was the greatest thing you could do for your relaxed hair. So I decided that I was going to go from never stretching at all to jumping right into a long-term stretch. Can we say breakage central?

I joined the wig challenge on January 1, 2013 and bought 2 wigs. Once I wore the Beshe Shelly for a week straight I nixed those plans cuz I missed my hair so much! It was also hell on my edges.

Rollersetting every week. That lasted all of one week

[belldandy]

I stopped combing...until I had dreads start forming.

Eliminating my use of styling tools and just finger detangling.....uhm no.

I started using MegaTek for growth back in 2008. I did get good growth (close to 1 inch for the 2 months I used it) but I had really bad migraines. Just wasn't worth it to me so I stopped.

Wearing my hair out everyday

Skipping weekly deep conditioning because of Wen Fig

Years ago, using indian hair products such as alma powder. I made a mix of all these powders and oils then I read the package the other day and theyre al for cleansing not conditioning. They used to smell bad too and the smell wouldnt go away!

 

[lamaria211]

CWing everyday! Ill just say its Not for me

 

[Guinan]

Oil rinses, long relaxer stretches & only finger detagling

 

[Honey Bee]

pelohello, Yeah, I tried stretching too. It was a sad, terrible mess. My mother does my tu's and she couldn't handle all that new growth. I'm actually due for a corrective now, smh. I barely went eight funky little weeks.

Yeah, I had decided to stretch for 6mths; which was a horrible ideal. My hair did grow, but I also had LOTS of breakage & LOTS of shedding. Because I had sooo much NG, I decided to do the half & half method when I relaxed. For now on, I will relax every 3mths

Bone straight relaxing. It looked nice right after the relaxer but my hair was too thin as the bone straight hair grew out.

Indian products. Amla & jasmine oil stink & henna was messy & I didn't like the reddish coloring in my hair.

I read so much about the benefits of using garlic. So I put freshly grated garlic in my DC. I smelled like a darn pizza. Never again!

Endlessly hiding your hair.... great idea until you forget what your hair likes and doesn't like
