How To MOISTURISE DRY 4B/4C NATURAL HAIR (THE LCO METHOD)

[@HealthyAfroHair]

I’m back with another video, giving you tips on How To Moisturise Your Dry Natural Hair using the LCO Method. Does anyone already use these methods? If so, which one do you apply; LCO, LOC or LOCO?

[@ayojoy7358]

Healthy Afro Hair LOC but I’m transitioning

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Great! Hope your transition is going well.

[@ayojoy7358]

Healthy Afro Hair it is really hard and I am trying to resist relaxer but I am trying my best

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Yeah, it’s not easy at all. But there’s always protective styles to help give you a break, if need be.

LOC Water, Cantu Leave-In Conditioner atm (open to trying new products for my 4C hair), and finish with coconut oil :)

The LCO method works well for my hair. Sometimes, when I want to treat my skin to something extra, I'll use it on my body as well (the method...not the products) ;)

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Haha...I got what you meant 😄 But yeah, my hair loves it.

[@Wolfhailstorm]

I love this method! I feel like it's the only one that makes sense to me because I have always understood it to be that nothing can really penetrate oil, so it makes sense to do that last and it's the heaviest so I find it beneficial to work your way up hehe ! Your hair has grown so much, I love it

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Yes, I love the LCO method. It’s just interesting how different methods work differently for each individual. But yes, my hair has grown quite a bit 😊

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Have you tried this method yet? If not, give it a try and baggy your hair as well. It should help to make a difference. As for the breakage, definitely check out my Protein & Moisture beginners guide video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5S3dKVqqbd4rbM This will help

your hair is flourishing, I'll like you to do an updated video of ur wash day,when u did one your hair was shorter.. just a quick question, after you co wash do u need to deep condition your hair afterwards?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! My wash day routine hasn’t really changed, but I’ll try and get round to doing another one soon. As for co-washing, it’s not a must that you DC. But whether you do or not, won’t harm your hair. Just as long as you’re incorporating deep conditioning somewhere in your routine, it should be fine.

You’re welcome! So I no longer moisturise as often, it’s more once every few days or when needed. But I always take down my hairstyle to moisture my hair, then restyle it the next day.

[@N3pea]

I was wondering how you wear your hair on a daily basis, especially if your moisturizing twice daily.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

I mainly wear a high puff or wash n go, so depending on the style I’m wearing, that kinda dictates how I’m going to moisturise it. Also, as mentioned, this is the longer version and when I’m in a rush, I’ll do it quicker.

I tried the LCO meth but within like 8-9 hours it’s flipping dry again and idk if I should use the LOC method or try different oils

[@memoiryoung1077]

Great video. I'm 8 months natural. When I got it shaved to a bald fade months ago I was excited for the head full of 4c hair that i just knew I'd be getting. As it started growing back I continued to claim 4c. Now that I have a twa and can clearly tell that I'm 4b/4c with a little more 4b going on. Hair typing is very important in my opinion. What works on 4c....4a....3b...etc... doesn't work on 4b/4c hair. Hair typing helps in figuring out hair care. Question: my hair grows super fast when I braid with weave and keep moisturized. I usually braid my own every 6 weeks. But I decided to go to 1 if our local African shops....let them put box braids in. My scalp is now super itchy and so dry. Do you let them braid your hair? If so, are you finding that your scalp gets dryer? I literally have to grease my edges and scalp twice a day and spray oil sheen. When I braid my own I moisturize every other day and don't have an itchy scalp. Your hair is beautiful! New subscriber. Can't pass up an opportunity to plug while on here so go to barnes&noble.com and check out my work under tonya young #readabook

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! No, I rarely go to the salon and prefer to do my hair myself. Did they braid your hair tight? I’m thinking that might be why it’s dry and itchy. Definitely increase your moisturising routine to ensure you scalp is kept hydrated. But if it’s really uncomfortable and your scalp is sore, then you should consider taking it out.

[@shop.ebla.]

After locking in the moisture with oil during the day...will the products you apply at night penetrate into your strands?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Yes, because with normal & high porosity hair, the cuticle layers are always open, allowing moisture to go in and out. Also, I moisturise morning & night, so there’s a good amount of time in between to re-moisturise.

[@shop.ebla.]

Healthy Afro Hair oh okay...because after I deal with oil...everything else I put just sits on my hair strands and before I know it my hair is extremely dry🥺

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Spritz with water first, then add a moisturiser and seal with an oil (in that order).

[@shop.ebla.]

Healthy Afro Hair thanks so much

[@vivianrenewarner6918]

Hi, just found your channel, GREAT VIDEOS. My hair problem is high porosity hair with no elasticity. Do you know much about this issue? I have tried many products over the years including protein and hot oil treatments but nothing seems to work. Products literally just sit on top of my hair with really penetrating in the hair shaft. The results are either greasy or just dry hair…. Any suggestions would be helpful for my 4C very dry and brittle hair. 🙁

[@patrick6382]

If products sit on your hair I think it’s because you have low porosity hair and the products are too heavy to penetrate into the hair strand

[@ambria4404]

@@patrick6382 If it only sits on your hair then it is high porosity. If she had low porosity it would’ve quickly absorb through her hair follicles.

[@candaceelenalifestyle4887]

@@ambria4404 you have it backwards. Patrick is correct...low porosity hair takes longer to fully wet or dry and hair care products tend to stay on the surface of your hair rather then be absorbed. Light oils will be easier absorbed for low porosity hair.

Good to hear 🤗

[@youtubeaddict5663]

Could you add all the products you used (water, the cream + the coconut oil) into a spray bottle and use it all in one go or is it important to do it one step at a time?

[@Lee-wb8mt]

KZbin Addict you want to do it in layers so that you lock in and seal moisture. Just like makeup, in steps so that u have a flawless finish. Clean, moisturize, prime, concealer etc. It works the same way with your hair. Mixing liquid, cream and oil won’t be as effective because all ingredients have different densities.

[@youtubeaddict5663]

@@Lee-wb8mt Thanks for the reply. Ive seen quite a few natural mix essential oils, butter or some other type of oil into their spray bottles so Im still confused LOL

[@Lee-wb8mt]

KZbin Addict ahhh that makes sense. Sometimes they do that as a daily moisturizer, since water is the best moisturizer for hair. Sometimes they add oils, essential oils, some even add leave in conditioners to to help de- tangle, moisturize or use as a growth aid. I have a water bottle with some essential peppermint oil, lavender and grape seed oil for growth which I warm up and spray on my scalp for my head massages, it promotes growth. Depending on the porosity of one’s hair one can add different oils or additives. I’m low porosity so I make sure not to use heavy oils or sealants in my water spray bottle if directly applying it to my hair, and I use the sealant (grape-seed, almond or avocado, sometimes jojoba) as my last step in my LCO regiment.

[@youtubeaddict5663]

@@Lee-wb8mt but you said earlier that "it's best to do it in layers to lock and seal in the moisture" - and now you're saying the complete opposite? Now can you see any I'm confused haha

[@Lee-wb8mt]

KZbin Addict lol, I’m not saying the opposite. I only add essential oils, like peppermint oil, rosemary and lavender oil to warm water and apply it to MY SCALP, not my hair strands. You use a few drops of essential oils and they aren’t heavy like sealing oils, and I’m only using it on my scalp to encourage hair growth when I stimulate my scalp with my massage. BUT on my actual hair I use plain water followed by the LCO method using a sealing oil LAST, after my leave in conditioner and cream moisturizer. I know it is confusing ‘cause there is so much info out there, but like anything it’s trial and error and you’ll figure out what works for you. 5 years ago I needed to lose 50 lbs, I was so confused ‘cause of all the information out there. I did my research and with trial and error I found out what works for me. I changed my body completely and I’ve kept the weight off for the past 5 years. You just have to do what works best for you. Don’t get overwhelmed with all the info out there beautiful.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Pink moisturiser is a form of cream, so yes that’s fine.

[@everythingzainatu614]

But if moisturizer my hair every 3 days is it okay to do lco method on my 3rd day mark?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Yes, if you feel your hair needs something extra to keep it moisturised, then you can. If not, then you can just keep adding your moisturiser. But just let you hair dedicate what it needs.

[@cometdestroyer]

I notice you didn't braid or twist your hair. Did it not shrink as the day went on seeing as you put water (and I'm guessing a water-based cream) in it? I'm wondering if, as my hair gets longer (and heavier) like yours, it will shrink less maybe...?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

I did it late evening, so just added large stretchy bands to keep it stretched ready for the next day. But when I do style it, I’ll more rock a high puff, but overall, it does shrink a bit. But definitely, the longer it gets, the less shrinkage.

[@moniquemoore9030]

Could I still do this on hair that was clean 1 day ago that is hard/drying from using a pomade?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

As long as your hair isn’t too greasy, doesn’t have a lot of product build up or is flaking, then it should be ok. Otherwise, it might be worth rewashing your hair to avoid an overload of products.
