Spinoff: Hair No-No's, What Are YOURS?

[LocksOfLuV]

I thought this would be fun. What are some hairboard no-nos that you do, purposely? I thought about this in another thread.



I'll start:

I use grease on my ends after washing-I love it and I will not let it go, EVER.

I comb my hair with a small-toothed rattail comb, SECTION BY SECTION (some of yall are cringing right now) before I flat iron it. It makes it come out a lot smoother and more straight!

When I wear my hair flat-ironed. I comb it about 4-5 times a day. If not it will tangle and look stringy which me no likey, and I have no plans on stopping.

When I flat-iron, I swipe about 2-4 times per section!! I figure, I am already doing a no-no by flat-ironing, atleast I'mma make it look good. I like my hair BONE straight when I flat iron-frizz is NOT okay by me.

I comb my hair from the roots TO the ends. I don't like doing it the other way, it feels wrong and like it doesn't detangle properly.

Your turn.

Thanks so much for starting this thread! Sweet!

1. I use heat weekly. Make that bi-weekly since I wash and deep condition bi-weekly. Yeah, y'all read that right.
2. I also comb my hair from roots to ends (hell, I didn't know this was a no-no hahaha, oh well).
3. I always detangle outside the shower (although if I get a shower comb I may change this one).
4. I comb my hair at least once a day. Brush it too if I'm in the mood.
5. I put grease or oil on my scalp.
6. I lather, rinse, and REPEAT.
7. I use a rinse-out conditioner before I deep condition.

I have always told people to do what works for them. Of course, you can adopt things that work for other people into your regimen, but sometimes those things may work and other times they may not.

Sounds like my list.

I don't really use grease that much because it tends to make my skin oily as the day goes on, but everything else is pretty much the same. I have been trying to detangle in the shower a little.

Lynne and Navs, I miss heat so much!! I mist straight flowing locks. I even thought about going with a blunt BSL hair cut and starting heat again and going back to my pre-lhcf regiment (tweaked of course). I miss it!!

 

[nycutiepie]

I apply my relaxer to my roots with a rat tail comb.........using the teeth and not the back of the comb

 

[OneInAMillion]

When I detangle, I use a small tooth comb after the wide one (Otherwise, it's just not detangled).

I lOVEEEEEEEE CONES!

I do protein whenever I feel my hair needs it (sometimes every 3 weeks).

I like my haidresser !

That's all I can think of for now...I'm sure there's more .

UMMM yeah how bout that. I used to get my hair blown out straight every week b4 the boards, it just didn't retain length as fast. I just want to get to BSL and have a swangin' blowout all the time . I know, it's bad...

Me too, maybe I should have added that one lol

 

[JazzyDez]

I think I am going to start using protien every week as a pre-poo. My DC just NEVER leaves my hair feeling as soft as it does when I do a protien pre-poo.

I brush daily- my front edges at least. (I just have to ya'll)


Oils and my hair just do not agree. I never seal. I am working on an alternative to this. I just use oil based moisturizers to seal instead. (Like ORS olive oil)

I am also guilty of several strokes with the flat iron.

I'm sure there's other stuff, but thats all I can think of right now....

Oh snap, I forgot about this one! Me, too!

I thought it was me. It will be a year in April that I cut out heat drastically, and the feeling NEVER goes away.

 

[~Nigeria~]

I comb my hair (a lot)
I trim (a lot)
I go to the hairdresser weekly

That's about it

 

[Mars_Reiko]

I stopped bunning a long time ago, and I use heat bi-weekly

 

[Lavendar]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[Miss*Tress]

Next to all these hair crimes, my no-no is a minor misdemeanor: I sometimes sleep with my hair loose and the pillow case isn't satin.

[destiny616]

i use no lye

i don't moisturize daily, everything i've tried weighs my hair down, when my hair gets dry i just wash again

i don't seal with oil, my hair hates oil

this works for me

i went from shoulder length to apl in six months

 

[Princess Pie]

Great thread! I'm guilty of combing air dried hair, and greasing my scalp.

 

[*Happily Me*]

once i wash and condition my hair, i don't put anything on it. that's right, no lotions, potions, oils or grease.

when my hair gets dry, i just wash or con wash again.

Your turn.

I do all these ......plus I brush my hair when wet. Slide my hair bands out of my hair w/o un-twisting them gently (I know, cringe), trim w/ bad scissors and I have this nervous habit where I twist in my hair and sometimes it gets pulled out (this is the worst one of all but I can't help it ).

I probably wouldn't have any friends.

• I comb all of the time. I do not understand how and why one would not comb thier hair. If your hair is falling out like that from combing, that seems to be indicative of something wrong. Hair should NOT be breaking or falling out that easily .. JMHO...

• I brush, and always will.

• I don't really sleep with my hair tied up. That's due to sheer laziness and I feel more free with my head against the pillow. However, I do tie it down at night.. sometimes .

• I don't moisturize my ends daily and never really have. I think good washing and deep conditioning is more than enough. Deep conditioning is the REAL moisturizer for me, everything else is secondary. I do use a moisturizer everyday though on my edges and nape, whatever remainder that I have on my hands I will throughout my hair. When I wash and airdry then I may run whatever moisturizer I have throughout my hair. As for baggying and all that, I could never .

 

[Guyaneek]

I use a rat tail comb and I brush my hair daily. The only way to get my edges straight into my bun.
