Do you really need to moisturise every day?

It is time to stomp on another popular bit of junk from the natural world. Is there a need to 'moisturise' daily? To be clear moisturising means



1. Spraying hair with water.

2. Using a water based moisturiser or water based leave-in.

3. Washing hair - cowash or shampoo and condition.



I see the need for water when you are manipulating free hair - it gives the hair some flexibility. However once hair is in twists or braids is daily watering really necessary?



I have always thought it was extreme to moisturise two times or more daily. I did try it and my hair did not feel any different (but then again my hair does not care for deep conditioning either so I am not exactly the 'model' head of hair).  I have read stories of women carrying small spray bottles to work and spraying several times through the day. Is all this really necessary?



I read a very insightful piece by Loo who is pretty much a once a week moisturiser. I would encourage you all to read and perhaps rethink what you do to your hair.
