What has helped you retain most length??

[SmilingElephant]

I would have to say bunning or using a hair clip to keep my hair off my clothes. Use heat sparingly and with heat protectant. And keeping my scalp clean and avoid scissors unless absolutely necessary!!

Low combing, low manipulation, protective styles.

What has help me to retain length is deep conditioning, moisturizing, not combing my hair daily, wearing my hair in updo's and my side afro puff.

low manipulation, no heat, and stretching relaxer.

NO Heat. Constant Cowashing. Ponytails.

Hey goingnatural- are you talking about wering your own hair in a ponytail or wearing a ponytail piece

My own hair. But I did wear weaves for awhile which worked for me well.

Prepooing overnight TWICE a week w/conditioner and oils...not just oils and low manipulation!
