I'd like to share a method I've incorporated into my regimen to help me retain length.
My hair had been growing longer but I noticed that the older parts
(the ends) would get dry and were prone to breaking off easily.
Usually
at this point, I'd trim my hair, but since I decided to challenge
myself to grow my hair to waist length, just because, I decided it was
time to adapt length retention techniques into my regimen.
The
henna and protein treatments had helped strengthen my hair and made it
less porous overall, but it didn't stop my ends from getting dry. And while the
LOC
method has proved effective in providing daily moisture, I felt I
still needed more to reinforce my fine hair and make it stronger to
withstand manipulation.

My quest for length retention led me to the 'Indian Oiling Method'. I've been consistently using this regimen since
2013 and have made changes along the way to better suit kinky, curly
hair of different textures with the help of feedback from the
naturalistas around me.
This regimen is especially
useful if you're suffering from unexplained dryness, brittleness,
breakage, hair shed and dullness. Where this is excessive, please see
your doctor.
During the period of adopting this regimen, it has really helped my hair by:
- preventing breakage and improving length (I was able to finally grow my fine hair down to my waist!)-- I have waist length hair!
- improving elasticity and strength
- improving sheen and softness
- improving moisture retention
- improving styling
