What product/technique did you sleep on......

[tiffers]

That you wish you'd tried sooner? For me, it's been...

Pre pooing-- I used to try pre pooing with conditioner and didn't get good results so I stopped pre pooing for a long time. Then I tried pre pooing with oil, the results weren't that great, so I stopped again. I was just about to give up on it when I discovered Jehan prepoo oil (from shescentit) and it's so fantastic! I love it, it smells great and I'm so glad I discovered it. I sure do wish I woulda tried it sooner!

Only shampooing the scalp-- Even though I kept reading about how shampoo's only meant to clean the scalp, and lathering all of your hair like the commercials is a no-no, I still kept doing it up until about two months ago-and I haven't looked back. I love washing this way, because my hair doesn't tangle, my hair doesn't dry out and my ends still feel nice and moisturized. I don't know why on earth I didn't do it sooner!

Less is more-- Ever since washing Macherie's video and getting advice from Sweet Cashew, I've been using a LOOOOT less product. I still get the same results as I did when I was using half a bottle of conditioner for each co wash Using less is saving lots of money

So what did you sleep on that you wish you would've tried sooner?

Condtioner washing. I've been doing it for over a year and I love it but if I had started when I first heard about it FIVE years ago, who knows where I would be now.

[Simply_Kelz]

Co-washing. I dont know if my hair was in bad shape or what, but it comes out much softer and airdrys much smoother.

Low-mani. For the most part. I used to comb/brush like 5 times a day. Now I do it like, 2-3 times a weekly when detangling. Not even hard.

 

[prospurr4]

The technique I slept on was not overdosing my hair with styling product and weighing it down. Now I use dime-sized, and sometimes pea-sized amounts, of product. As a result, my styles turn out so much better, and last longer, with lots of body and movement.

Going to the salon for touch-ups- I wish I would have done this at the beginning of my journey instead of walking around with extremely underprocessed hair.

Rollersetting- rollersets have made a huge impact on my hairs health. Airdrying was sucking the life out of my hair.

Baking Soda- Clarifying my hair with baking soda always leaves my hair so smooth and clean.
