Protective styling made the biggest difference in my hair
Greenhouse Effect HANDS DOWN....
This is the only thing that helps with my moisture problems when my hair is natural. Everything else I do just builds off of this.
EnExitStageLeft how did finding out you had fine hair change or affect your regiment?
tomnikids3 what shampoo do you use?
As for me, low manipulation has been the single best thing that has helped my hair to grow and remain healthy. The more I do to my hair, the more it hates me.
Mane & Tail conditioner - yeah, that's right, the kind that is made for horses and sold at Walmart in the pet aisle. (Not MN - Mane & Tail conditioner) It brought me from ear length to bra-strap length singlehandedly. Now I'm shooting for mid back length and it's attainable.
I use it as a pre-shampoo and rinse out conditioner from time to time. A friend told me years ago that she couldn't keep her short hairstyle because this darn conditioner kept making her hair grow too fast... I was like what/who/where? Her problem became my answer! It doesn't exactly make the hair "grow" but it does help the hair retain length so that it grows freely.
Doing my own trims and hair has also helped. I'm always surprised how little recognition old school Mane & Tail conditioner gets. (I do not recommend the shampoo).
