💧 My Hair Was Always Dry Until I Did This One Thing
Why My Hair Stayed Dry No Matter What I Tried (Until This…)
I used to think dryness was just a “natural hair thing.”
Like no matter how much I drank water, misted my hair, or even lathered my hair with butters and oils, my strands still felt brittle by midweek.
But the real gag?
It had nothing to do with my hair “type” and everything to do with how I was trying to force moisture without first understanding what my hair needed to hold on to it.
Moisture isn't just about water.
And hydration isn’t just about products.
I learned that the hard way.
Looking back, I realized I was skipping a crucial step that I now treat as non-negotiable in my routine.
That one shift sent me down a path of completely rethinking my entire moisture routine, from scalp to strand.
The real game changer?
I stopped relying on products to hydrate my hair and started focusing on what my hair actually needed to hold onto water.
That meant creating my own deep conditioning routine using ingredients that didn’t weigh down my strands or block my sebum.
And I don’t mean just throwing avocado in a blender.
I’m talking about building a full hydration method:
✦ Start with a full scalp detox
✦ Support natural oil flow (aka activate your sebum)
✦ Deep condition using raw, non commercial ingredients, no layering leave ins, no heavy product buildup
That’s how I finally locked in moisture, and it’s why I no longer need a shelf full of hair creams just to keep my curls soft.
This isn’t just theory, here’s what my clean, hydrated scalp looks like after rinsing, with no product at all. See the difference for yourself:
Once your scalp oils are activated, the next step is hydration. These are my go to kitchen ingredients, tools and simple helpers that keep moisture locked in naturally, no heavy product layers needed. Explore my Hydrate & Moisturize list here.
