I would say:
-Low manipulation
-Stretching relaxers
-Moisturizing and sealing ends
-Keeping hair up off the clothing
-Less aggressive trims (in frequency and the amount trimmed)

These are practices I learned prior to LHCF that I'll stick to for life, but they all fit within the LHCF methodology:
-Little to no direct heat
-Weekly Deep conditioning
-Rollersets
-Vitamins
-Covering hair when you go to sleep at night

 

[Junebug D]

DC'ing
Chelating
moisture moisture MOISTURE!
avoid salons whenever possible
avoid heat whenever possible
PROTEIN!
Using oils!

 

[platnmdiva23]

Low Manipulation...Combing only one wash days...
Deep Conditioning
Moisturizing and Sealing

Prior to LHCF, I left my hair care to my stylist....she works wonders but I have to learn to work with my hair myself. Right now I only go to her for relaxers....and that is probably every 2.5-3 months...

 

[Miss Priss]

Low manipulation
co-wash
no direct heat
washing hair in sections
no SLS shampo

ETA: Can't forget about MOISTURIZING!!

 

[Hair Iam]

-Moisturizing and sealing ends
-Keeping hair up off the clothing
-only trim when needed
-Little to no direct heat
-Weekly Deep conditioning
-Vitamins
-Covering hair when you go to sleep at night
