lots of us have been there. i can speak for myself and say that i’ve climbed the dryness mountain and came back down with a few scars, BUT, i made it down and now i know how to take it on.

if i can be honest, one of the main reasons when i first went natural that almost had me relapse back to the lye was dry hair. boy oh boy. dry hair will make a sane woman a nut case! and especially a type 4.

who wants to have dry, matted up, little balls on the end of your hair, hair? i know i didn’t and don’t want it now.
