In order to maintain healthy hair? For me it was my Micro Braids. I had them on and off for three years but had to part with them because of the breakage. I loved getting them because all of the different styles you can do with them and you did not have to do anything with your real hair.

Let's see:

Flat ironing my hair every week on high heat.  That was a struggle.

Blowdrying my hair.

I think that was it.

Not flat ironing my hair as much was hardest for me.  Also my cornrows.  You would think they would be healthy for the hair but whenever I take them out my hair sheds like crazy!  It feels like I'm loosing so much hair and I hate it.

Any type of individual braids, let it be micros, pixies, etc. It messes my scalp up and I've known this for a while but I'm hardheaded and stubburn sometimes . But this was my last time though. Therefore no more individual braids for me!

Same here. It was hard to give up individuals because they were so convienent. I would give that up any day to have and maintain healthy hair. I definitely not going there anymore.
