i wash my hair every 2-3 days with a non residue shampoo.and i sometimes wear a beanie to bed. other than that i dont brush it and i am trying not to touch it (i have a bad habit of touching it). is there anything else i need to do? i feel like im missing something.
thanks
a beanie might be too tight & actually restrict movement & knotting while you sleep (which is normally a good time to form knots from the rolling around on your head). you don't have to wear anything on your head, but if you'd like to a loose (wool) tam would probably be better.
not missing anything. just love wash & separate as wanted/needed to avoid congos.
thanks for the tips
I hate to self promote, but here you go:

agreeing with soaring eagle, get out in it for a bit, good for your hair, good for the soul, good to just help ya let go and enable you to not worry/think about it so much.
The less you worry about your hair the more you become you, a person who just so happens to have locks. Instead of that guy-with-locks.
That's why I always try to recommend people take down and cover up their mirrors for a few months. If you can't look at yourself every day except in car windows and your shadow, you will be much happier with the progress just by the feel of them
