My hair does not look the way it did before I put the braids in and it is dry. I went to my stylist and got a deep conditioner so that it would not break and I will go back to him in a few weeks to let him perm it. However, I want to rebuild my moisture back as much as possible. Any suggestions?

I have a long natural and I've found that one of the best leave in conditioners is one made from herbs. If you steep 2 Tbs of rosemary, 2 Tbs of sage, 2 Tbs nettle, and 2 Tbs of burdock in one gallon of distilled water, you couldn't ask for a better detangler, and leave in conditioner. I have that straight from the heart of the motherland type of kinky hair (and boy, do I love it!) and I tried every creame and spray to comb out my hair. This worked better than anything else I tried, plus it has no chemicals, so it's arguably healthier.
Once you've steeped down the herbs, pour some of the mixture into a spray bottle for everyday use, and freeze the rest until needed.
