DEL - Helps Us Find Some Answers

DEL, a fellow subscriber, was kind enough to provide us with a link to a very informative article on Naturallycurly.com about the differences between butters and oils: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/ingredients/curlchemist-helps-us-understand-oils-and-butters.

As some of you may know, my hair does not like oils, and honestly, I was under the impression that I would have to give up all oils and butters for good. Either that or plaster my hair with gel day after day in hopes of taming the disaster that certain oils seem to wreak on my hair.

Interestingly enough, however, DEL has also had a similar issue with oils, but she has actually been able to find some quality products that contain oil, yet still work well for her!!

Her experience gives me a great deal of hope, as does this very interesting article. I'm no chemistry major, so reading it certainly got my brain cells twitching, but I figure with a few more reads I should be able to get this oil vs butter thing down;0). The important point that I took away from the article is that just as with most products, it really is about experimentation. What works for your hair.

Here's hoping that this head of hair finds an oil or butter that she can tolerate in either large or small quantities. Particularly, before the dryness of winter is upon us:0/.

Ciao!!
