3. Consistency: Drinking water, vitamins, scalp massages, washing regimens

 

[brooklyngal73]

This is my biggest problem--so hard for me to stay consistent w/ anything. Gotta try harder.

My top 3
1: protective styling
2: co-washes 2-3 times a week
3: moisturizing my hair properly (water-based treatment + sealing w/ oil)

I've gotta thank Sistaslick for this info. I stalked her albumlachen: ), and started this regimen after doing so. My hair is thriving as a result.

Thanx sistaslick!

vitamin intake (multi,c &msm combo)

use less styling products (to avoid breakage when combing everyday)

[TrustMeLove]

This is hard, because I went from relaxed to natural on this board. So I have tons for relaxed but few for the natural just I am jsut starting this journey.

1. Condition washes. Instead of pilling on creams for moisture I just wet and condition. It also helps bring my fro out.

I don't know if they have helped to be truth, but I LOVE THEM. I also finger comb, and comb through once every like 1 to 2 weeks with my jibere shower comb. Life saver.

2.Learning not to treat my nappy hair like my relaxed hair.

Even now I think sometimes a comb should be able to go through my hair easily..even while wet. BUT this is just not the case for MY nappy hair.

3. Protect the hair from things that want to snagg it. Like your pillow, wool sweaters and jackets.
