Ladies,
For years I've searched for different methods that would yield strong, healthy hair. Sites such as this one have allowed me to experiment with different hairstyles, products, etc. Through trial-and-error, I've come to realize everything that works well for others may not necessarily be the bets for my hair.
With that being said, I'm curious to know the best and worst hair advice you've received thus far. Best, of course, meaning the methods that have worked [wonders] for your hair. And worst--the things that your hair can certainly live without.
Mine are…
BEST:
- Homemade Hair Products
- Air Drying
- Co-Washing - I cannot stress how much my hair has grown as a result of this.
- Baggying <---------- SAVED MY ENDS!!
- Sleeping in satin bonnets/scarves & pillowcases
- EVOO (A definite hair saver. I add it to everything…shampoo, conditioner--deep conditioner, leave in conditioner)
- Stretching
WORST:
- Heat - I didn’t realize how damaged my hair was from the heat until I eliminated it from my regimen…
- Self-Trimming - A talent that I cannot master; props to those who can do it successfully.
- Garnier Fructis & Pantene Pro-V - ugh, no!
- Biotin
