What's the best advice you've gotten . . .

[Sashaa08]

I guess because my hair was relatively healthy looking nobody ever gave me advice on how to style, maintain, etc. Hands down my BEST advice has been on this board. My hair is the longest it has EVER been! However, like Barbara mentioned earlier, the only BENEFICIAL advice was from the Wanakee Hair Guide. First time I learned about air drying, deep conditioning, etc.

My high school BFF's mother was a former hairdresser who taught me about roller setting. My current stylist was the first to mention protective styling to me.

Hi Miss Tress- who are those pretty people in your avatar??

It was from a hair board don't remember if it's BHM or LHCF but it's LISTEN TO YOUR HAIR, i find this works all the time especially since recently.

My advice has come from Motown Girl, protective styles and oils also LHCF has been a God send. I have learned about not blow drying:fart:, dc, prepooing, no shampoo (love it), oils, moistrizering conditioner, streatching my relaxer with molases, honey, acv, oils, acv rinses, how to combat breaking, how to help with shine (honey), hair growth, protective styles, good weaving, things my hair hate (ors, shampoo, grease) and my favorite BLACK WOMEN CAN HAVE LONG HAIR......................
