My New Hair Resolutions:-)

Those sound like good resolutions.

When my hair is pressed I usually only wash it every 2 weeks and my hair is fine.  It also helps cut down on heat use because I don't have to do anything to it during that time.  I know a lot of ladies wash more often but it depends on your hair I guess.

Sounds like good common sense.

I've learned that my hair doesn't like too much manipulation either.  I used to detangle twice a day but have managed to cut it down to once a day by wearing my hair in braids at night.  I started combing from the ends and working my way up and my hair seems to be responding.  I seem to have less breakage.  I did some nice braids after washing last night and think I might try wearing them more often for longer to cut down on the manipulation.

So would you say that using reconstructor every 6 weeks is the way to go?

I do find that my hair does like being washed more frequently though - twice a week.  If I go beyond 5 days I get more breakage and my hair has a coated appearance from all the oils I use.
