What is the SINGLE best thing you've done for your hair. . . .

[Caramela]

The single best is conditioner only washing... but my other staples learned from the board are air drying, MN, relaxer stretching, protective styling, combing only when wet, caruso rollers, 1/2 wigs, bonnet at night, .... wait a minute, I'd be here all day listing what has helped me. Is this a trick question?

Awe.............

The single best thing I ever did was start using the Shampoo for cleaning the tub.... Then switch to all natural stuff........

 

[PeggyFair]

co-washing and using regular conditioner as a leave in. These have taken my hair to a whole nother level!

 

[Jadore_tay]

stretching relaxers and dusting

 

[Blessed_Angel]

Learning about the moisture/protein balance.

And clarifying made a world of difference in my hair. I learned how to use Emergencee properly (meaning b/4 and after relaxer). Sorry, couldn't just list one.

Leaving it alone.

 

[PinkPebbles]

1. using a chelating shampoo
2. honey rinse

 

[prospurr4]

It's a tie between moisturizing and stopping all direct heat.

Deep conditioning has been a God-send for me. I never did it before,. I thought getting a trim was the only way to make my ends behave. And I hate trimming so my ends always loooked busted...now I know why.

 

[chebaby]

deep conditioning, protein, and using amazing products such as keracare, paul mitchell, joico, and redken. all of these have been well put to use

 

[justsimply]

Sooooo many things to choose from....moisturizing, frequent washing (was a every 2 wks kinda girl), stretching, dc-ing, protective styling, taking care of MY hair while in braids/twist/weave. But the single most helpful thing has to be co-washing.

 

[naturalgurl]

Finding hair care forums! But if I had to choose from what I've learned at the hair care forums I'd say moisturizing/CO washing. My hair was super dry and fly away. I was using all of the wrong stuff. Being on the forums has opened my eyes to a lot and I couldn't be happier!

TRUE DAT!!!!

Moisture/Protein balance

 

[halee_J]

THIS FORUM!!!! but specifically DCing at least 2x a week with hot towels

 

[Crystal22]

Learning what moisturizing really means. Before LHCF I was using oil thinking it was moisturizing my hair everyday. My hair would grow past shoulders but would break off after that and I would be left wondering why. The oil blocked out any little amount of moisture I was getting.

Also, honorable mention to limiting heat, and protective styling, oh and cowashing, and MN, and protein/moisture balance, and porosity control etc.....

 

[Brownie518]

MOISTURIZING

Most definitely!!!

 

[KEWLKAT103]

It's a tie for me between co-washing and moisturizing.

Yep, yep!!

 

[ddean]

Definitely moisturizing!
