Things you WON'T do to your hair in 2010

[DigitalRain]

Will not relax.

Will not do anymore twistouts or braidouts.

 

[Jhuidah]

I will not twist my hair regularly. I'll twist here and there to give myself a little change, but for now I'm done with twists. I twisted for most of 2007 and 2008, and it took me that long to realize that all that twisting was bad for me. It's too much manipulation for me. I didn't retain nearly as much hair as I could have with other protective styles.

I definitely won't relax.

I will not skimp on what my hair needs, which seems to be more moisture through more frequent deep conditioning sessions.

• I will not use heat!
• I will not go to a stylist who makes funny faces before she does my hair and uses too much heat because she does not know as much as she thinks about natural hair...especially mine.
• I will not use 100 different products in 2010. I will strive to KISS
• I will not expect more from my hair than is humanly possible. I'm tired of feeling let down by my hair.
• NO MORE WASH AND GO's!!! EVER! I killed my hair for years with that style!

[MAMATO]

Yea, that didn't impress me, either.

My hair was a total mess after my first baking soda wash...I mean my hair is very coarse and can handle quite everything ... but BS is a No No for me... I learned it the hard way

 

[JayAnn0513]

I will not relax or use permanent color.

 

[LadyRaider]

I'm not going to relax my hair. WOW. That's a scary statement to make!

 

[sunbubbles]

No more "MINI" styles UNLESS its mini braids. My hair gets waaaayyy too tangled to do mini twists. I think I've lost close to 2 in in breakage from rippin out those mini twists! *sniffle sniffle*Mini braids holds the shed hair 20X Better!

 

[Tickin4Gold]

I will not wear a braidout for more than 3 days- after 3 days it tangles like nobody's business.
I will not airdry my hair without a satin scarve to tame the edges
I will not wash my hair /irritate my scalp the day before relaxing - big mistake, burn, burn, burn.
I will not cut any more bangs - too hard to maintain.

 

[tenderheaded]

No more long stretches for me! I'll be stopping at 30-32 weeks, instead of 40 weeks!!!

 

[Truth]

I will not disregard my ends..and let them do whatever....

 

[irsgirl]

I will not cut my hair or allow anyone else to cut it.

I will not ever attempt to self relax my hair.

 

[EccentricRed]

I won't just wear buns and ponytails when my hair is curly...I gotta step out the box.
I won't straighten my hair as much as I have lately.

 

[PJaye]

In 2010, I will:

No longer wear wash-n-gos 24/7-365
Find an effective black rinse to get rid of my Mrs. Santy Clause hairline
Moisturize more frequently
Branch out beyond this ponytail that I've been sporting for almost a decade
Get a decent trim more often
No longer avoid using heat
