Understand the battle between oil and moisture.
The first thing people must understand is that there are opposite things going on at the same time.
“Due to the shape of curly-haired strands, the hair tends to be under moisturized. On the other hand, the curly-haired scalp can get very oily. Managing these opposite demands is the struggle of girls who wish to keep their curls. The key here is knowing how best to address both,” explains Maya who led the movement for women to transition from relaxers to natural curls.
