What is the Maximum Hydration Method?

I came across the Maximum Hydration Method browsing through various hair boards where women were complaining about extremely dry hair that wasn't responding to regular washing and deep conditioning. 

I have to warn you that this method is not for the lazy natural. This method takes time, but the results have been phenomenal for many women.

How Often Should I Use The MHM?

I believe you should listen to the needs of your own hair. Try this treatment as frequently or infrequently as necessary.
