I am an avid co-washer and when I saw this on the shelf I just knew it was going to work. My hair loves coconut oil and my hair loves conditioners, a match made in heaven, right? This could be the furthest thing from the truth. 

The Sahara Desert on my head

Ughhh, Dry hair!!! WHY ME?

Dry hair lacks moisture and presents a problem for most naturals. Since becoming natural I have noticed that I have to do more to keep my hair moisturized. Here are some of the things that I have been doing to help retain/lock-in moisture.

- Co-wash, co-wash, co-wash

Co-washing is the process of washing your hair with conditioner alone, the shampooing step is skipped. Removing the shampooing step keeps the sulfates that are in most shampoos from stripping your hair and scalp of its natural oils.
