Help for retaining moisture

hey curl ladies!!!!!!!!!!

I have a problem with keeping moisture I have eczema in my scalp. I always had trouble with moisture even with a perm but some how i keep it under control but by being natural i know that natural hair gets extremely dry in the winter. I use olive oil as a moisture but im starting to think i need something else. What do you all suggest? Because I don't want my to break off

use a cream-based moisturizer instead of oil because supposedly oils are not really moisturizers...

My hair does just fine with Quemet Biologics Alma and Olive Heavy Cream (i have 4c hair) so it's not too heavy for me at all...

just a thought...

thanks for taking the time out to answer my question and Im going to try Shea butter soon.

hey NickiK...my niece has eczema & i've been looking online for some natural remedies...i think you should try to address that issue 1st w/some of the essential oils & your hair may respond differently...but it is true that the only thing that moisturizes your hair is water (or a water based product)...oils & butters help to lock in the moisture...some people can moisturize once a week but i have to moisturize everyday...even if it is just with a homemade spritz...so again, just listen to what your hair tells you...
