Diy: Conditioning Butter
Why?: Witch Hazel treatment. Relaxers can irritate the scalp making it flaky and itchy. A moisturized scalp is the best foundation for healthy hair from the root. A at home conditioner such as witch hazel is inexpensive and you probaly already have it in the medicine cabinet. Soak a cotton ball or qtip in the Witch hazel and dap it onto your scalp. Do not rinse out.
