But other with softer hair seem to have problems with it.I’m Caucasian with fine hair. I said I didn’t cut it but CA water is hard and it just broke off the last few years.
But i will definatly try all the oils your recomended.My daughter is biracial and I was using a mixture of coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil. I have 4c naturally dry and coarse hair, but coconut oil works like a treat to hydrate and add shine to my hair. Tea tree conditioner is really good also if you leave it in for a few minutes. So the most effective way to utilise its benefits is within a professionally developed product - Like TIGI's - to ensure longevity on the hair."
