I have short, 4a/4b, fragile, low porosity hair. It's also "mature" hair (wink & a smile).
It's almost impossible for me to do anything to my hair (successfully) without totally wetting it with water first.
The moment I began spraying Tea A on my dry hair, my hair began to "relax." Much to my surprise, spritzes of Tea A began to hydrate and untangle my hair, even my fairy knots. I was left with shiny, well moisturized hair.
I follow the LCO method, so I did add a little bit of cream ...
