For all the Newbies and Discouraged hair growers, tell the board what is the best things you do for your hair and why it helps.

I'll go first! :grin:

  • Protective styles (Bunning and weaving) : protects ends from manipulation to retain great length and enhances thickness
  • Stretching : Enhances hair thickness and gives me enough new growth to relax
  • Texlax instead of bone straight relaxer : Hair is much stronger
  • Moisture, Moisture : No breaking hair
  • Co-Washing : Hair is softer longer and I dont have to DC as much
What About You?

Edit : OH YEAH, DECREASE HEAT DRASTICALLY!

These answers are everything that I was going to say.

Gets pretty repetitive and boring week after week, month after month but the results are soooo worth it.:yep:
 
Bunning. That is my number one.
Henna'ing.
Every night I moisturize, bun and wrap the bun in plastic cut from grocery bags. Sounds totally silly but, I believe that's contributed a ton to retaining length.
 
1. Using quality products
2. Deep Conditioning treatments at least 1x per week
3. Texturizing
4. Co-washing several times a week
5. Covering my hair at night
 
Deep conditioning and washing weekly..
I'm also going to try and stop airdrying... I notice when I air drying in a bun b/c i notice when I comb my hair, there's a lot of shedded hair. After all this time, I *now* see why airdrying in a wet bun could be troublesome.
 
Water daily
protective styles
Keeping hair products simple and manageable

Moisturising and sealing twice a day :lick:
Baggying :paperbag:
Low manipulation (putting hair in plaits twice a week)
Minimal combing :afropick:
Hiding my hair (wearing wigs as protectives styles)
Taking supplements

Scalp massages
Deep conditioning twice a week :love:

Finding the Neem Bar.
I had horrible flakes, a sign of an unhealthy scalp, even when I washed twice a week with all kinds of special shampoos (dandruff, dry scalp, etc). The Neem bar has helped my scalp tremendously and my hair is flourishing because of it.
