Eliminating heat.

 

[Islandgirl]

the importance of protein ( i can definitely say I didn't understand the difference between the different kind of conditioners as far as moisturizing, reconstructoring, and protein are concerned)

stretching out relaxers

 

[brismom]

The most profound impact the forum has had on me is that I now eat a lot better. Cookies, cake, soda and Hot Tamales won't contribute to my hair growth and health. The funny thing is that when I eat to include all the nutrients my hair and body need for health, I don't even miss the junk foods I'd been addicted to.

 

[Tami]

wrapping hair every night, vitamins, washing twice a week
