I have a couple:
-Allow enough new growth to grow so there is no overlapping
-I feel like my hair grows in thicker because while stretching
-Limit exposure to relaxers
-Because I can...I no longer HAVE to relax every 5-6 weeks. I have found methods that allow me to go a couple months without relaxing...
I used to think this was impossible.
-It saves me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-My hair has never been this long or healthy since incorporating these healthy hair practices
-I don't have any friends that relax every couple of weeks and have long hair...I'm sure they exist...I just don't know any personally.
-I love experimenting with my hair.
-I love touching my new growth. If I relaxed every couple of weeks I wouldn't have the opportunity to play with my several inches of kinky coily new growth.
