Coconut Oil Alternatives for Eczema Relief
In continuing with this series on eczema relief, it only makes sense to discuss other forms of moisture through the use of essential hair oils.

Empress Bun: Marley Braid Bun ‘Do on 4C Natural Hair

Straight Tapered Cut on 4C Natural Hair

But it’s been pretty hush on the review front with regards to the Cleansing Pudding, a moisturizing sulfate-free cleanser.
