Hello there, I'm new here!

Actually my second question was going to be why did your mom keep shaving your hair off? LOL

I like to blame it on patriarchy and the fact that she didn't like kinky/natural hair.

I wash mine with black soap too. I switched to using it recently. It's never dried out my hair, in fact it's the only cleanser I've used that hasn't. I do mine as a mix though. It's black soap, aloe vera gel, and a few drops of grapeseed oil. The result is clean hair that isn't dry and tangly.

It wasn't drying on my hair. I could actually detangle while it was in my hair too. Actually, I did get a little crunchiness but it seemed like there was protein in it? I could be wrong. The tub I got only said palm kernel oil, palm oil and water. I deep conditioned afterward though.

I should try your mix sometime. Also, funny signature.

Thanks but I live with my grandmom now. I think she's pretty accepting.
