I keep my 4b natural hair stretched 100% of the time. I have tiny "o" shaped curls that tangle and after the first month or so of wearing my hair out I learned the hard way to keep it stretched. I used to just cut out the knots after each wash...
Now I just don't wear wash n gos. I wear celie braids under a wig or I wear my hair blown out. I either go get it rollerset and blown out or I blow out the roots myself and wear buns.

Keeping my hair also stretched and/or flat ironing prevents my SSKs and hair matting issues.

What techniques do you use to stretch your hair ? I bought Henna a few days again still waiting for the shipment to arrive

I think everybody's agreeing here: Keep that hair stretched! I straightened my hair two or three times last year, and had a keratin treatment almost two months ago. I very rarely see single strand knots anymore 
My hair already lost the keratin effects
It's all curling back up.
Money down the drain, but my hair is acting a whole lot better since adding heat back in to the equation. I have one spot that is heat damaged, but it's weird - curly at the roots, midway it's wavy, and then it starts to curl back up at the ends. But that's beside the point
Every once in a while, the heat does help. Even a light blow dry helps.
I did protective styles all the time, deep conditioned, searched and destroyed like crazy with expensive shears and still couldn't retain length. I was stuck at BSL/MBL
I think my hair has never liked being in twists because I always did them on wet air and let them air dry. I am a victim of hygral fatigue (weird, crazy holey splits) and load on the coconut oil before washing because I know my hair swells up like nobody's business!
I no longer deep condition for hours on end - I did 40 minutes on Monday, but that was a fluke. I only wanted to do it for 20 minutes. I cannot keep this hair wet for too long.
