This is what has worked for me:
1. Conditioner and water. These are the best moisturizers for my hair.
2. Low manipulation. I have been able to grow my hair from bra strap to my current length by doing this.
3. Protective styling. I try to keep my hair up as much as possible to prevent damage to my ends.
4. Going natural. Giving up relaxers have been very beneficial to my hair.
5. No gels, mousse, or other "stylers". These can be very drying to my hair.
6. No direct heat.
7. Only combing the hair while wet and with conditioner.
8. Finger combing. I rarely use a comb.
9. Doing what works for me and sticking with it. I do not jump on band wagons and am no longer interested in trying many different products.
10. Not obsessing over my hair. I try to forget about my hair and focus on other things. I realize that my hair is always growing and if I adhere to my simple regimen, I should retain most of my length.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^So in a nut shell, pretty much using conditioner and water and low manipulation has worked for me. Keeping it simple is crucial.
This just about says it all for my routine, especially #10.1. NO DIRECT HEAT (or at least minimize it as much as possible).
2. Wear my hair up at least 3-4 days a week.
3. Stretch my relaxers minimum 12, maximum 16 weeks.
4. Switch from no-lye to lye.
5. Make cardio exercise a regular part of my routine.
6. Add essential oils (like peppermint) to whatever I put on my scalp.
7. Deep condition Deep condition Deep condition!
8. Take supplements for overall good health (healthy body, healthy hair)
9. Eliminate sulfates
10. BE PATIENT! (that's the hardest for me)
