Ok, ever since I tried to retouch my new growth with the lye perm at the end of May, my hair and scalp has been dry with no means of correcting it. I apply all the healthy hair techniques I was using before that worked so well. Yesterday I did a pre treatment with EVOO, I washed with shampoo for relaxed hair, and deep conditioned with some Redken conditoner...I sprayed in some leave in, used a little humectress as a leave in/moisturizer and put some oil in. My hair is beyond crisp today...NOTHING. Something I've also noticed is...my hair never gets WET. It's like everything sits on top. I clarified just in case....still..you can see the beads of water just chilling on my hair.
