Shampooing regularly

- I hate to admit it guys because it is sooo embarrassing, but I never did any of those prior to LHCF...Well poo'ing of course, but it was whenever I felt like it. Yikes...
 
the use of glycerin!!! has taken my hair to anotha level
CO- washing----great tip
no using mineral oil---i use to always wonder why my hair would not stay moisturized--versus just being coated and the next day dry as h*ll
hairvitamins---has also taken my hair to anotha level
difference btwn lye and no lye relaxer
stretching in btwn relaxers

and ofcourse product reviews--always help when purchasing porducts that work for my 4a hair

I always had long thick hair--but it was unhealthy as in would break off in certain areas and etc--now--my hair is is good to go!!!!
 
Shower combs
Co-washing
Using conditioner as moisturizer
Sealing with Castor oil

Theses are the 4 things I've used/done consistently.
 
Knowing that anytime I need some information regarding almost any area in my life I can get on one of the boards on this site and pose the question or contact one of your incredible ladies via email and get a response.

How to be even more accepting and understanding of whatever a person wants to do with their hair from natural to relaxed from short to long, from coloring to no coloring. In the end we are all unique individuals and my hair journey can be uniquely different than another persons hair journey and even though that may be the case continue to encourage people on thier own journey.

Ayurvedic practices
All things HairVeda
Creating homemade recipes
Protective styles
