1) Ingredients- learning about sulfates, mineral oil and learning to avoid those
2) sealing after moisturizing- I always moisturized but the sealing step really does it for mw
3) coconut oil- I had it before but I didn't know how to use it right
4) deep conditioning- only did it at the salon

I'm fairly new and have just begun my regimen, but there are a few things I have seen that have made a difference already:
1) moisturize and seal--oh. my. god. this technique is AMAZING. I was VERY skeptical about using EVOO because I had never used oils on my hair. It seemed like such a foreign practice and like it would make my hair greasy. I tried it and the exact same day, I realized the difference in my hair and just how wonderful the ends felt, I was entirely sold on this.
2) Co-Washing: it works great. nuff said.
3) The realization that black hair is dry hair and constantly in need of moisture. I know that this sounds weird, but honestly I never put moisture on my hair and ends daily. It just didn't happen. But now I feel like I better understand how to get moisture and retain it.

1. Cowashing
2. Protective Styling
3. Minimal Heat
These are the ONLY things that keeps me retaining length, and I had never heard of the before I got on to the hair boards.

My top three things are:
1) Moisture and protein balance
2) texlaxing my hair twice a year has really thickened my hair
3)the baggy method has made my hair grow without protective styles!!!!!

1. Co-washing
2. Castor oil and shea butter
3. Finger combing only...didn't know it was possible, looooove it
* Low to no manipulation
All of these things have helped me retain everything I've grown. It's so amazing how low maintenance my hair really is...I never knew
