I'm in germany bcus of military and i haven't had a relaxer since oct 3. I was always pretty good with my hair but if it wasn't for this board I wouldn't have learned about CONDITIONER WASHES and I proadbly would have caved in and gave myself a perm which is not a good thing at least for me lol

What I have learned thanks to this wonderful board, is:
Don't use heat such as curling irons, blowdryers, etc.
What vitamins to take
How to care and moisturize my hair
Protein Conditioners
Wait at least 2-3 months before relaxing

Re: relaxin 2-3mths
I hardly style my hair. I wear protective styles such as buns and sometimes I plait it up.
I keep it moisturize with Profectiv and oils.

Re: relaxin 2-3mths
If I had to pick one, it would be protective styling or at least updos where my ends aren't on my clothing.
And...
*Little to no heat
*Washing/Conditioning more frequently
*Learning to care for my hair myself
*Moisturizing my ends carefully
*Strengthening Conditioners
*Vitamins
*Paying attention to product ingredients esp for shampoos

Re: relaxin 2-3mths
Excellent Question! I think the main things for me were...
Starting a hair regimen...
Washing and conditioning the hair more frequently (2x a week for me now)...
A good vitamin regimen...
Using a leave in conditioner...
Using olive oil for treatments...
Keeping the hair moisturized...
Using less oil on the scalp.
Thank you ladies!

The other stuff, like the baggie trick (Allandra), phonytail (Adrienne), effective protective styles, MSM (Tebby), proper washing, proper conditioning, reduced trimming and reduced touchups, came from other hair boards.

Re: What advice on LHCF has really improved your h
i have learned so many great things on this board, but the best advice is:
too much heat is not good
take care of your ends
protective styles
reconstructors/protien conditioners
2-3 months for relaxers
support from all these great women
just leave your hair alone and it will grow(i think this is the most important)

trinity I live in Germany and its due to military.
The water is really hard here so I ended up using distilled water until I got my shower filter. The distilled water really helped and the ladies on this board. They sale distilled water in the commissary.

Re: What advice on LHCF has really improved your h
I would say the advice about shampooing in the shower with the hair in one direction and applying the shampoo to the scalp have improved my hair. Techniques on scalp massage and the ACV rinse recipies also have helped me a lot. Finally the discussions on different types of conditioners (protein, moisturizers, reconstructors, etc.) helped me understand what products to choose.
