What causes ssks?

[lamaria211]

Nonie, I have a chronic dryness problem. My hair is almost brittle. So when it is brittle, tangly, etc. I have ssk issues. The only time I remember that my hair was truly moisturized was after a steam treatment. Thus, I'm looking into buying a steamer.

Do you use poo?

I've been recently advised to try spritzing my hair with water before mosturizing. Do you think this will help in reducing ssks?

I don't know. I think it works for me, but I can't say for sure.

I stopped using light oils when I felt like my hair was greasy for no reason and my hair still didnt feel mosturized underneath. I feel like the castor oil completely smooths my hair strands and manipulation doesnt tear my hair out after. Is there a light oil that you recommend?

I like grapeseed and meadowfoam seed oils. I am low porosity so light oils are a must for me.

Blowdrying regularly has eliminated SSK's for me.

I know when I went natural and as my hair got longer the SSK came into being. Sucks.

I was, but I'm about to start cowashing primarily. Looking into a detoxifying conditioner to clarify when needed.

I use Ion Hard Water condish at least once a month makes my hair super soft while removing build up!
