Why's My Hair So Dry???

A common issue for us natural women is MOISTURE. Dry, wooly hair is NOT characteristic of black hair, it is characteristic of hair that is improperly moisturized. Many women wonder why shea butter, coconut oil and many other products don't make their hair soft. Oils and butters are used to seal the hair. This means it locks whatever moisture is in your hair inside. If there isn't any moisture in there its going to still be dry! There are a lot of causes of dryness, but most can be remedied with a good deep conditioning treatment, limit of alcohol containing products, a water based or creme based moisturizing product (depending on your hair type), and a sealing oil or butter (also depending on your hair type). Different people need different amounts of moisture, so you will have to find your balance, but with just a little bit of patience and some information it's not as difficult as it seems.
