Super Natural: MahoganyCurls On How to Retain Moisture in Dry Climates

Moisturizing my hair is one of the most important steps of my natural hair journey. Over the years I have learned that if my hair is not moisturized properly, I will not have the best results with my hairstyles. I have noticed that my hair will be dry and lack luster. I live in a very dry climate so I do not get to enjoy the moisture from humidity. Since I live in a dry climate, I have learned to take certain steps to ensure that my hair is properly moisturized in the summer.
