what i mean is, what has been your "EUREKA!" moment. the thing(s) that has (have) revolutionized the way your care for your hair. im sure a lot of us have gone through frustration after frustration trying to figure out what our hair likes, what it doesnt, why it won't grow, why it doesn't seem to like any product, why it's so hard to detangle, why this, why that...
i know that many of us have tried various products and techniques...and have researched...and somehow still most things have just not worked.
and then you finally found success in something...something that made your hair life MUUUUUUCH easier. that thing (or those things) that made you want to scream from the rooftops.
here are mine:
now only, if i could just learn how to style my hair...i'll be all freakin set.
this isnt really meant to be a "try this and it'll work for you" kind of post...or an "advice" post...i mean, you could take the things people say and see if they work for you (and they might or might not...remember that), but it's not the thread's real intention. i really just want to know what made you and your hair sing and dance after so many tears and frustrations.

here are mine:
- more protein (especially in the form of hydrolyzed keratin).
- LOC moisture method.
- trimming when i need to instead of waiting 3 years in between.
- only leaving protectives in for a week at most. i usually change my protective style every 3 to 7 days...no longer. my hair doesnt like staying in the same style for 2,3,4 weeks at a time. i used to force myself to hold onto styles for many weeks at a time because i was thinking "retention...less manuipulation...cant.touch.hair" but for me, it wasnt a good thing to do.
- finger detangling. this is something i fell off of and recently went back to. i regret ever stopping.
