I DON'T USE:

flat iron [never got the hang of it anyway]
cheap products
salon visits [I do my own hair]
laziness [I condition wash and moisturize my hair regularly]

The curls drop and my ends get frizzy. However, I may have spoken too soon. I used a new product this week that helped. It's Joico Silk Result Instant Smoother. I used it on my ends before curling them with my curling iron and the curls lasted even though I went outside on a humid day. There was a little frizz but it still looked good.

Re: What DON\'T you do to your hair?

I find combing my hair while wet is the number one evil... unfortunately it's also my styilists favorite activity.

Also trying to get a relaxer with tangled hair. You would think that was a "duh" but I have done it so many times I have to wonder about myself.
