My Basic Moisture Routine on Low Porosity Type 4 Natural Hair

[@christianaunderwood]

I was looking for more people to do videos for what they do midweek. Thank you so much for this.

[@carmeld45]

Yes, I have to moisturize mid-week to ensure that my hair doesn't dry out and retains length.

[@elizabethjohnson6773]

I love the the CR Curl Love Moisture milk and The CR Almond Jai Twisting Butter as well. The Moisture is so on point! Great video!

[@tireshekastewart913]

I just added moisture and retwisted last night. Strangely, my ends felt fine, but I remoisturized because my roots felt dry & somewhat coarse. Well, I guess it's not strange cause I have been working out & therefore sweating at the roots. To add moisture I used Green Beauty's Ph Stabilizing Spritz. I just dampened my hair for easier detangling and squeezed the moisture into my strands. I used the Melanin twist cream to re-twist in chunkier sections than my original style and even played with a lil Gemini Naturals color. When I untwist, I'll add some Gemini Naturals sealant oil, and have a fresh wash day on Sunday. *Just FYI: I did consider using the UFD Defunk or completely co-washing but decided just to do the process I detailed above. I think I'd have used the UFD Defunk if i weren't re-twisting, and the UFD Bye Bye Build Up Co-wash if my hair was more dry or if I had build up to the point that the products I used would have just sat on top of my strands.

I spritz my hair with 50% water and 50% aloe vera before I hit the shower every day and it helps keep my hair moisturized. I'm keeping my hair in flat twist during quarantine.

[@pamelawalker9056]

I moisturized midweek. During this stay at home, I am practicing on my two strands twist and keeping my hands out of my hair which was hard to do with a wash n go.

[@belindasanders1719]

I moisturized mid week. My current go to products are As I am JBCO water, curl love, and oil.

[@bowiesmama9096]

I do moisturize midweek. In fact, I’m going to this evening.....this video is perfect timing. I too am low porosity and I don’t think I’ve been using enough products and I certainly wasn’t adding extra moisturizer to my edges. Thanks a million for this video.

[@tamarrwebb4202]

Yes ... I mid week moisturize....like this video and fusion cultures video on moisturizing.... thanks

[@TBella1226]

Most times I remoisturize midweek. I try not to be too lazy about it. 😩😩😩 Great video!!!

[@Simply_Mimi1017]

I either moisturize midweek or cowash depending on how the week has gone. If it wasn’t so strenuous I will just cont to spritz my hair on a day to day basis.

[@annaburns5382]

your share SO much great info, and I really appreciate it. Every time I listen to you I learn somethin'!

[@NYCCHOCOLATE7777]

Same Here

[@kittyskid1]

Not before but now I do midweek moisturize. I have time.

[@NYCCHOCOLATE7777]

LOL Right I Know That's All WE Have Now To Everything

[@Dementedd118]

Trying something different while my hair is short. Mid week (sometimes twice a week) I rinse my hair completely and then add a leave in on top (maybe something heavier). Doing this mostly because it feels great to have the water run over my head (especially after a tough workout) and also, opposed to when I had my longer hair, I'm trying to focus more on adding a ton of moisture into my hair to make sure it stays healthy and undamaged.

[@latashas9683]

I do moisturize mid week...Its very helpful!!!💜💜💜

[@chaniecevaughns7066]

This is interesting to me! My logic (prior to watching) was that there was no way putting a moisturizer on top of my thick, days old gel made sense. Also with us having low porosity hair, I thought I would need to open up my cuticles for a moisturizer to be effective.

[@NewWaveAfros]

It doesn't work for me, I get white balls putting a moisturizer on top of gel, im low porosity

[@dannied2157]

I cannot put product on top of product. I can only get moisture by adding water. If I have to do a mid week refresh I will just co-wash and reset my wng. I stopped using heavy butters and oil on my hair...it just doesn't work for me. I might try the aloe juice tho when I first do my wng and see how that goes.

[@denyshadials5702]

Cowash midweek when my hair is out. Wash and retwist every 5 days when it’s in twists, DC as a leave-in.

[@talexander2745]

I really appreciate your content!!! I ride it out only if I apply Oyin Whipped Pudding, after shampoo/condish, and allow my hair to rest for a for a spell ---then I spray each section with aloe vera juice, prior to applying my styler and twisting my hair. It last all week!!!!

[@erikalee8058]

Nope! I don't remoisturize mid-week since the pandemic b/c I keep my hair in twists & it stays moisturized all week long. I do wash my hair once a week & do the LOC method using a leave-in conditioner, sweet almond oil, & CR Almond Jai Twisting Butter.

[@karenreeves1240]

I can't just put a moisturizer into my hair without a liquid first...water or aloe vera juice, or it will turn fuzzy, frizzy. About mid week I will assess to see if my hair need moisture. Most of the time its just the back of my head that needs moisture.

[@Queeneth10]

Lovely video, I don't remoisturize midweek, less manipulation ❤

[@BVIgirl_Sarai]

I usually ride it out but now that I’ve looked back at pics I’m going restyle (maybe even cowash)

[@kiki1573]

I know you use coconut oil, but have you tried red palm oil? Using it as a sealant, my hair stays moisturized for the whole week. My hair has grown so much since I started using it. It’s bae bae for me😊😄❤️

[@ALove4Me]

Yes, I find it heavy

[@jasminemoney943]

I do a whole wash day mid week. My scalp itching and hair dry so i just do it all over

[@robertamcneill2613]

If I have my hair in braids right now. Looking like Travis scott (!) should I take my braids out to moisturize? Or just leave them in?? I suffer from constant dryness

[@ALove4Me]

Take one braid out and see if your hair is dry and go from there

[@scorpiostingstung]

👍🏾

[@angellafrancis9726]

Enjoyed the vid..question..do u warm up your aloe vera juice before use seen u have low porosity

[@ALove4Me]

No

[@brianasailor9819]

Also does the aloe vera juice gives you shrinkage and does it smell bad? Because I have short 4C hair so I blow dry my hair after I wash it to stretch it out and I want to use a liquid for the Moisturizing methods -LCO, etc.-but I’m just worried that it’s going to make my hair shrink up. Additionally, is your method of moisturizing the best method for low porosity hair? I have low porosity hair and I don’t know what method to use

[@ALove4Me]

The aloe doesn't stink, and yes it contributes to shrinkage. I don't know if its the best method, but its the method that works best for my low porosity hair

[@brianasailor9819]

Thank you so much for replying. And for being straight forward with. I’m going to try your method as well as the LOC method. And got from there. ❤️

[@shan1368]

Gang gang

[@brianasailor9819]

Hey love. I’m a Camille Rose Naturals user as well. I just bought her moisture milk but I noticed that it’s a leave in conditioner and not a moisturizer (like the classic Pink Moisturize) so I bought her curlaide moisture butter which I think is a just a moisturizer, you know what I mean. Have you use the curlaide moisture butter? If so, did you like it better than the moisture milk? Also can you do a video comparing the moisture milk and curlaide moisture butter ?

[@ALove4Me]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPIYaaBarOeeKc

[@brianasailor9819]

I remember this video lol I’m Going to watch it again. This is a great reference guide for me 🙌🏾 Also, can you do a video comparing the Canvad Beauty Brand growth serum and the Mielle Organics Rosemary mint scalp & hair strengthening oil? I’ve used the canvas beauty brand and boyyy does it work but it’s $35 for 4oz 😐 and I’m looking for a cheaper alternative with similar ingredients. If you know any growth oils that’s not high in prices, pleaseeee let me know. Thanks again love for replying. Be well and stay healthy ❤️

[@Nceron]

Straight aloe? Ok, good to know. I always see it mixed with distilled water. I will try it without the water.
