I finally found a really simple way of retaining moisture in fine hair. I stumbled across a site about 'natural hair' ('African' hair is really fragile and breaks incredibly easily) and this article is really helpful. Have a look if you have fine, dry hair http://blackgirllonghair.com/2012/02/4-s
Anyway, yesterday I did a WO. about 15 minutes later, my hair was still 60% wet, I applied a little bit of EVOO on my ends, but I wasn't careful enough as the very ends of my hair were still 'dry' (some time later, after my hair actually dried) and so was the hair framing my face. So I sprayed those parts of the hair with water, repeated the process for my tips a couple of times, as they were getting dry very quickly. And then sealed the moisture with EVOO 15 mins later. Wow. it worked. it really worked, I had nicely conditioned tips :D
Also, I tried the same process for my face. Works well :)
