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

[cmw45]

Left it the heck alone.

i.e. Braids and other protective styles.

 

[lilsparkle825]

bringing CONDITIONERS into my life (CW, DC, and HE LTR leave-in)

 

[janeemat]

Stretch my relaxer.

 

[chebaby]

rollersets.
doing my hair myself
using the good products that happens to be more expensive
protein

 

[Aggie]

Deep Conditioning my hair on a regular basis, ie., at least twice a week on wet or dry hair. My hair absolutely loves these treatments. YUM YUM!!

 

[Isis]

Staying away from heat.

 

[HoneyDew]

The best thing I ever did was stop wearing fake hair - braids, weave, etc.

It forced me to really learn how to do my own hair and take care of it.

It was sooo hard at first. I did not feel attractive and did not know how to make my hair look good. But now, if I get a set of braids, after a few weeks, I am ready to get rid of them.

For me, it is a toss-up between co-washing and stretching. These two methods combined have given me growth and thickness. but if I must choose one, well I love stretching but Im in love with co-washing LOL.

 

[loulou82]

Moisturizing with a water-based product

 

[eshille]

Increasing the number of DC treatments each week.

AND

Sticking with what works for my hair, staying off of bandwagons...

 

[QT]

Bump..... Not jumping on EVERY bandwagon

 

[GoldenBreeze]

I'd have to say CO-washing, because that is the one thing that I've added that I never did before LHCF.

 

[RosesBlack]

Balancing moisture vs protein.

Runner up has to be bunning.

 

[LikeNoOther]

The SINGLE best thing for me is CONSISTENCY.

'All things good' for my hair fall under the umbrella of consistency:

~ Deep conditioning
~ Regimen
~ Product line (Keracare)
~ Touch-up by professional
~ Sleeping in satin cap
~ Reduced direct heat
~ Trimming

 

[fivetimestwo]

Making custom conditioner, lol. I mix SAA w/ oils and then two diff conditioners. My hair definitely notices if I don't make my concoction

 

[adf23]

Best thing has been transitioning............scalp is flakeless, hair is fuller, darker, stronger.

 

[theprincess098]

The best thing I have ever done for my hair was to go natural.

 

[KAT25]

Co-washing.. Washing daily.. using quality products...

 

[oooop2]

Clarifying w/ baking soda #1

Keeping my hair properly moisturized #2

Sorry, I can't follow rules

 

[Allandra]

Transition.

 

[RocStar]

Sealing and moisturizing my ends, for sure.

 

[sky035]

Cutting off every inch of dead straight hair and starting from scratch! I wore my hair 100 natural for several months as I got used to my natural texture, then added a mild texturizer to my hair. I also tried using natural products during my first year.

My hair is now longer than when I began almost one year and a half ago due to tips that I picked up on this forum and others. I also avoided heat like the plague!

 

[MissTical]

Stretching... and having a new found love and appeciation for my new growth.

 

[Irresistible]

dusting

she does like the scissors! I knew it!

lmao

 

[Irresistible]

using natural oils!
but this was mostly cause of chitter chatter on my own group as well as posts here

I didnt think I COULD give up the grease!

also stopped using watery leave , and now use creamy ones

 

[jujufireal]

Basically everything, product selection , moisturizing, DC, protein treatment, diet etc

 

[LABETT]

Stretching Relaxer with Phyto,my hair has really improved.

 

[Likeyouneverseenme]

Sleeping with a satin bonnet.

 

[puddin]

Use my fingers for combing and prepooing.

 

[Gracie]

The single best thing is Increasing Protein
