12 Mistakes All Natural-Hair Newbies Need to Avoid

The consistency of an oil has little to do with its moisturizing properties. (Coconut oil is a very light oil but highly penetrative.) You should think of oils in terms of your hair needs and thickness: for example, avocado oil is fantastic for healing damaged hair from hot tools and works well on thinner hair as it won't weigh down your strands. Thicker hair will work well with babassu oil that will define your curls and prevent frizz. Dry hair in general responds well to tea tree oil and argan oil, which will help get rid of dead cells and unclog hair follicles.
