The best thing you have ever done for your hair

So, the title is pretty self explanatory. What is the best thing you have ever done for your hair. This could be a deep conditioning treatment you have taken up, a new product, or a healthy habit.

Henna - best thing for my scalp. What's good for my scalp is good for my hair.

I always feel like the latest thing I've done is the best thing, each new conditioner gives me more shine / softness than the one before.

That said, that makes it the LUSH Henna and Jasmine Defluff

Never had so much softness and shine as I get from that!

The best thing I did was to stop wearing backpacks with my hair down.

My backpack was eating away at my hemline without me realizing it. As a result, I was stuck with a false terminal length of APL for some 15 years!

It feels that way for me too!!

Although the first thing I ever did, which eventually led me to LHC, was mayonnaise in my hair, and I still think that was the greatest discovery.

My latest addition though is CO, and I feel so silly for my skepticism all this time! It's been a bit over a month since I started (I think), and I just love it!

Wow, so hard to decide. I'm a porous curly, so I need all of these:

Protein
Moisture
Air dry - do NOT touch!

Any of these single things fail without the other

Stop dying it..... although I am thinking about doing it again sometimes, at the moment im thinking about lightening the ends a little (ombre), or going red (but in a healthy way, no NOT henna)

But had my virgin hair for so long. Afraid i'll regret it.

I stopped dyeing and sold my flat iron.

Plus using natural products and oils.

Using a chelating shampoo. We live in an area with very hard water and it never occurred to me the effect it might have on my hair. I was about to cut a good 4-6inches off my ends thinking they were damaged, but I used a chelating shampoo and after one application they were silk!

By the way, I first read about it here. Thank you Gladtobemom! I now plan to use the shampoo once every 2-4 weeks in addition to my normal CO wash.
