OK... I have been natural for about 2 a half years now.. and I just found out that a wash and go was not really a wash and go... Why didn't someone tell me that after you wash with the conditioner... apply gel??? Now that I understand what a wash and go is.. it is my go to style and I haven't had any fray ends...
Anything you have found out after being natural for some time?
I've been natural 5 years this year, and just figured out:
-How to twist and braid out properly
-How to flat iron without it poofing so easily
-How to moisturize while flat ironed
-How to stretch my hair through "rolling and pinning"
-How to keep my ends in check by dusting at the right intervals as to not lose much length or get haircuts
This year's been a real hair shift for me... Loved it before but I'm really loving all the versatility now.
I've been natural for 6 years and I've just discovered that I think my hair likes finger combing and that separating my hair into 4 sections and working on one section at a time really does improve my results (instead of working on one whole half of my head at a time). Should've figured this out a looong time ago.
I've always liked trying new products (while trying not to be a PJ). But apparently, I got set in my ways regarding technique quite a while ago. I'm just now revising somethings in my routine to see if they can be done better.
Can you please elaborate on the bold ones?

I've been natural for 13 years and just realized the wonders of pure undiluted aloe vera juice/gel spritz!
