WHAT conditioner do you use as a leave in?

Search & Destroy. It's when you trim only individual damaged strands, those that are split, have a knot, etc.
I use any one my faves that are moisturizing like Cristohpe Purely Natural, Trader Joe's Nourish Spa.

major yet simple:
prepooing/ diluted shampoo- it sets the stage for me
low manipulation
no direct heat unless occasional blowdry when getting a trim
no double processing
keeping my ends healthy with regular trims
Pibbs 514: hate to come off like a pusher, but this was crucial in my results
seamless combs
loose protective styles most of the time, but I am not scared to wear it down
Not obsessing over hair too much. just giving it what it needs and leaving it alone

Great thread, OP.
This is what has helped me:
~Washing twice weekly

~Rollersetting
~Keeping ends moisturized

My problem is I'm not long enough yet to wear in a loose bun, so I have to wear a tighter more slicked down bun & add hair. I am on a constant quest for a product that will moisturize, slick down edges, and tame the beast called NGany suggestions will be welcomed.I pretty much follow your same reggie except I'm currently using MT/OCT. By the way great progress, your hair is beautiful. LOVE THE V!!!!
Elasta QP Mango Butter,will do the trick
...and thank u,l've grown to love the "V"

Check out the Shampoo Regimen from Growafrohairlong.com. This where I learned how. I detangle my hair in sections, one braid at a time, rebraid and move on to the next section.

Is there anyone who NEVER or RARELY protective styles? I have been getting nice growth by:
-- No trims only S&D
-- Relaxing every 10 weeks (really texlax)
-- Deep CO at least once a week - usually twice
-- Alternating protein & moisture conditioning weekly
-- Rollersetting twice a week
-- Moisturizing daily
I haven't used my flatiron since August and been strictly rollersetting. I don't have patience for protective styles.... I getting good growth, so I'm sticking with this, but just wonder if EVERYONE is protective styling.
