HOW TO: My Signature FRO || Natural Hair Routine

[@mushooporkie]

Hey girl, have you tried doing the LCO method instead of LOC? I had the same exact issue w/ moisture leaving my hair so quickly & couldn't understand why (my hair is v. similar to yours; 4b, same length, moderately dense)... I switched the order of products and it changed the whole game for me lol. Since the O you use is a mix of sealing oils (almond & castor are so thick), maybe doing the cream first then the oil will help lock in that moisture!

[@AuntieSenSen]

Gabrielle Artis I have found that the LCO method works best for me too

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

TheNotoriousKIA Try this combo: really LOCG, Water is the first liquid. I can't manipulate my hair without it. O is any oil of choice. I switch this up but my favorite is the scalp oil mix by Mizzini. It's expensive but you will see the difference. The C is my leave in moisturizer, normally Giovanni's Direct Leave In or Shea Moisture's castor oil leave in moisturizer. Both are creamy and I smooth them in well. I follow that with my gel normally eco with Argan oil.

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

FYI: My styles usually last the whole week. My favorite way to moisture my hair? I leave my shower cap off and let my hair absorb the humidity from my shower. Once I'm out, I lightly massage some oil in my hands and spread it through my hair. Living dangerously I know but it works lol.

[@MsMookie513]

Yes LCO is the way to go, it works for me

[@TheSmileycece]

I have 4c hair too , this method works very well for kinkier textures .I've used it on multiple clients with similar hair texture to me and it works.It's better for me living in rainy England as it just seals evrything in.

[@blackgold84]

Im glad you're saying you redo your hair every other day because theses girls say their hair last longer than two days with out retouching make me think what I'm I doing wrong but it's good to hear honesty

[@chaneldavishall]

Girl.... Ain't that the truth. I'm always like "I must be sleeping wrong." LOL.

[@Hebrewsistah7]

@@chaneldavishall 🤣😂🤣 RIGHT! LOL

[@cheyd4312]

It depends....every one is not the same but some do get longer periods between wash day etc based on hair texture, products, environment, and care.

[@jewlzn7130]

Sometimes banding the hair preserves the style. I band and can keep my twist out for 3 -4 days

[@viktoria6717]

SAME

If I have to hear keyshia cole tell me about what she found one more time, I'm calling the police lol

[@steveelcock2302]

People don't realise how much time and effort goes into our hair yet they want to dig their hands in it smh

[@tracymausse5322]

Steve Elcock Aahaha so true.

[@Brown_Sugar11]

Steve Elcock I hate that like dont touch my hair or my kids hair

[@itswasabifox]

@@Brown_Sugar11 i understand the hair part but if anyone touches my kids hair, issa fight💀

[@M.Elle-]

Exactly! And if they attempt to touch mine, I’m slapping all hands like they are flies. It is an invasion of personal space and time!

[@blackyogayogi5387]

And I say no or stop them and tell them that’s rude

[@kaleighw3824]

thank you for showing me a fun way to change up my 4c natural hair, and repping 4c/4b hair, which often is forgotten about and pushed aside in the natural hair world

[@brittanyporter5585]

I actually liked the song. I loved Keisha and her struggle voice back then lol I guess I'm the only one. it brought back memories ❤

[@sadiamohammed4320]

Brittany Porter lmao struggle voice

[@LilianOkibe]

I love Keyshia too and I think the song is lovely.

[@smshortcake99]

Her voice is still struggling in 2018.

[@mahoganytherealtor]

this is my favorite video. I know it's just hair care, but every time I forget how beautiful my afro is I come here and get the motivation to take care of it. 🥰😍

[@minusthewhitney]

This is exactly how I always wear my hair! I put it in chunky braids to stretch after washing it, usually takes 3 days to dry then I take it out and really seperate everything to make a huge afro. its nice to see someone else doing the same!

[@Mini-wd7qz]

I’m watching this because I have a barbie with a Afro and I’m trying to figure out how to tame it xd

[@KTRN52]

the dryness might be due to the fro. I found that spraying my hair lightly with water, applying a sealant to my ends then putting my hair in four loose buns kept my style moisturized and intact for the week.

[@KTRN52]

You're welcome!

[@tiffanybrown1001]

What kind of sealant do you use?

[@phyllislimo6454]

Me too

[@rosalincooper]

I know this video is old but I just did this...followed to the "tee" and it came out beautifully! I'm in love 😍

[@JustLoveJC]

love the shape of your fro!! that afro pick come through for volume!

[@briaunababy6485]

Every other day? Sis I’m shook. I’m 1 year and 3 months in and ... umm I’m already tired of doing it haha once a week. You’re the real mvp lol

[@sturner0721]

Bless you for this. FINALLY someone with my hair type/density/porosity is giving me what I need. I have aaaall the oils and narrowed down what products my hair tends to love, I've just needed a break from the signature wash-n-go. This is what I'll be trying. thank you so much!

[@lj.969]

Girl! I did this except I did a three strand braid (two strand twists only make my hair wavy), and my hair looks exactly like yours! I love it. Thanks for sharing this. ♥

[@LocFitnessMama]

I love it!!! I believe we have the same hair type. I've been natural for about 9 years, but almost gave up and went back to a relaxer. I found it hard to maintain my hair with doing my daughter's hair as well. I'm subscribing to your channel. And thank you for inspiring me to get back into properly caring for my natural hair.

[@JenniferIsamara]

I just found you today and its like you are a gift from the heaven. My hair also ranges in curl patterns. It has some sleek pieces and coarse pieces and is also on the high porosity side. Ive been looking for a youtuber with similar hair for so long I could cry. Thank You!

[@softleywifey]

Beautiful hair as always. I wanted too add I recently started mixing my moisturizers with hemp oil and the moisture from that oil mix is days of softness and moisture and I have bleached blonde hair.

[@__JillSt.Clair__]

I had no idea so much work went into a fro! I ignorantly thought a fro was a simple 'wake up and go' type style. I learned so much in this video. Thank you!

[@niobeknight1627]

Depends. I can wake up with a fro-hawk and after spraying with water it’ll fall and I use my fingers to shape. And then it shrinks. Now this style here I have to try… curls and stretches!

[@StassiPryce]

In my opinion Liquid, Cream and then Oil makes the most sense for dryer hair. Putting cream on top of oil is not as effective as putting oil on top of cream bc oil seals in moisture better than cream. Cream dries out faster. But your end result looks fantastic.

[@lamoskgr]

I finally understood the L.O.C method! I really thought the L was water. No wonder my hair didn't look good. I've always wondered if people had to wait their hair in the morning like me every time. I'm new to the natural hair movement and I don't have anybody to advise me. But my hair is really flat and matted on the sides in the mornings so if I don't wet it, I can't style it. But it's so cold!!! This method seems better. Thanks for sharing it!

[@LydiaIsRedeemed]

Yaasss, now that's the kinda of fro I'd like to achieve. Thanks for the detailed description of maybe needing to get a cut or trim , down to having multiple hair patterns. I can relate .

[@dillydallyfinale]

Im a guy and have lots of curly hair. Your hair looks so awesome and nice! This turtorial helped me as well! Thank u so much

[@lashawnmurden3047]

the song is driving me crazy but that fro is giving me lifeeeee

[@cocoasoulchild]

My favorite curly fro tutorial! Never lets me down 🙌🏾👑

[@BklynGirl72]

It sounds like you have high porosity. Moisture don't stay in my hair more than 2 to 3 days if I don't Moisture again. Love the fro!!

[@merciemodemerciemode3130]

I genuinely thought that there was something not right with my hair because I can't go more than 2 days without restyling either! Lol Sometimes in the summer every night 😩 glad I'm not alone. Think I'll try the gel tho to see if that could hold my style for longer.

[@elayneja2010]

I'm new to natural hair and I'm glad that you mentioned that you restyle your hair so much because I have to do that as well. I thought it was too much but I have the same issue my hair soaks up any product by the end of the day

NikkiBNatural loves using Aloe Vera juice as her liquid bc she says it's great for retaining moisture! Her hair is absolutely stunning and I'm gonna give it a try myself

[@ArayahIru]

Here from 2020. Had to run this video all the way back. Much love again for this

[@sonyahferris5510]

Your hair is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

[@LSarah11]

I'm so happy right now. I think I found my hair twin! I have all textures in my hair from 4a-4c mainly 4b as well and high porosity where I need to moisturize my hair every day or every other day because if I don't, I will look hot mess the next day. I absolutely love your hair btw!!

[@joiwade_]

Super cute results! My hair is a mixture of types as well (4b x 4c)

[@MsTHEPRIZE]

I watch this video all the time it gives me and my hair LIFE!!

[@Stylegraceandfaith]

I'm still in my TWA phase 😫, but I'm hoping and praying for this kinda volume when my hair grows. So gorgeous.

[@diva39180]

Girl your hair is definitely giving me life. I'm trying this style to night!!!!

[@sarahowens8622]

This is one of the most informative videos on KZbin. Thank you for describing your hair’s characteristics. Often I watch videos, become inspired by the style, then disappointed when it doesn’t work on my combo hair (I think I have 3a-4z hair). (Yes, 4z. Imagine trying to style that 😖)

[@pynkstarr]

my hair is the same way with having to do it every other day. Any styles I do that involve twists, I'll just retwist it every night. Which is annoying as hell, but it helps me prolong the days. Love this video!

[@dimegangtv5395]

Im so glad i finally found somebody with hair almost like mine. I'm excited

[@Martina_E]

Your fro is everything!

[@jenniferphelizor9803]

I could literally cry! We have the same exact hair type! As soon as I saw your thumbnail I was like this totally looks like my fro, only half the size! Ok so I have to see some products you use, for now I keep it so minimal. I live by the LOC like you said I have to redo styles almost daily. My twists outs come out just like this, I just want to know a really cool holding gel to use besides Eco. Glad I found you!! 😁😁😁😁

[@charteraa]

I usually don't comment on videos just because but this was just great!! So informational

[@tiwiogunye]

The song 😭😭. Your fro is bomb 🔥🔥💕

[@selamtesfaye2901]

that is the most beautiful hair i ever seen!healthy, thick, Afro and full

[@rynelic]

You have my EXACT hair type. I also have every hair type theres is and i thought it was weird lol youre definitely my hair twin

[@JJones-bo7zk]

The way you described your hair is similar to mine. It's all over the place, can't keep a twist out for long so I have to re-due it and straightens fairly well.

[@cocoh1808]

Thank you for sharing your technique for obtaining your signature fro! I tried it and love the look I got! Thank you 😊

[@kemlaurin]

omg - once in a while you see your hair twin....love it! thanks for sharing

[@levelintent]

I like it. I never thought of that, to twist and then pin curl. Good idea.

[@connie1wilson]

Wow! I thought you were one of those mixed girls who had curly hair, but you knocked it out the park! Great tut.

[@linds.catherine]

Every time I see one of your posts on Instagram I wonder how you get your hair like this!! So glad you filmed it, I'll have to try it soon

[@miggiewithdafro]

You have a really good camera for recording because I did notice the different hair textures you were describing. I started to notice different hair textures in my hair too. I had a very similar moisture issue with my hair and find myself having to layer things on or restyling every few days when Im not feeling lazy.

[@mochagrl78]

Very pretty! I think we have similar textures. Because I too have soo many different textures on my head! Especially the crown! I'm like, did I eat my twin in the womb! Why is my hair so tight at the crown! LOL! I have to re-wet my hair during the week as well. I wasn't doing that at first, and by Wednesday, my hair would be a big hot mess! But I usually bantu knot it. I've been wanting to try the twist and perm rod method to see if I can get a more defined curl. I just recently tried the LCO method and it's worked wonders for retaining moisture.

[@lauragray6648]

I have been searching youtube for someone who has has hair similar to mine....so glad I found you I had to subscribe!!! Love your fro!!

Omg that is beautiful. Thank you for this. I never knew how to get my fro going.

You are soo beautiful our society needs more people like you💜I hope you go far

[@LCC144]

I tried this out last weekend, it came out amazing. Bouncy, shiny, defined.... I just don't have any place to go and rock this fro due to the virus lol. Oh well, I'll rock it at home, it's cool.

[@monifa3605]

Love the shape & final results turned out amazing 💕

[@TyraNoBanks]

Come thruuuu fro!

[@pennyhango3186]

TyraNoBanks 😍😍

[@chanaella]

You should also try using shea butter as your Oil in the LOC/LCO method when I tried this I noticed I didn't have to moisturize as much because my hair would normally suck oil up like a vacuum & id have to moisturizer everyday like you.

[@TheUnicornQueenT]

I'm gonna give this a try. My hair is also mostly 4b and we have the same density. Thanks for sharing.

[@b3an_]

It’s not fair some people look gorgeous without trying 😩.😍😍

[@MyCrownOfCurls]

Loooveee you're Afro!!! And the slow mo was everything

[@sugamehoney]

Your thumbnail is giving me life. Your hair is beautiful 🙌🏽

[@Bahiya13]

Hi Kia!! I am so grateful to come across a KZbinr that I can relate to as far as hair texture. What did you tell your stylist in order to have this shape? Ive been wanting a cut but Ive been afraid to cut all of my hair off from the back. HOWEVER, your hair is just so ENCOURAGING to just go for it.

[@Bahiya13]

TheNotoriousKIA Thank you so much for responding!! I'll make sure I let her know. She's pretty awesome so Im hoping mines comes out great. I need a shape to really have these twistouts pop. Anywho, I truly enjoy your content and advice. Looking forward to your future vids. Much Love!

[@T.Alexis926]

LOVE IT! I hav combination hair to. The front and sides are like 4b. The middle and crown is 4c and the back is 4a. LE STRUGGLE. And I think i have low porosity hair. It's very thick. Takes a minute to dry and products just sit on my hair doing the WOAH. lmbo Here I thought that the struggle was over when I got the last few processed strands cut off. But NO honey my hair was like, "CHALLLLEEEENGE!" I love my hair though! :-D Every wash day I learn something new lol. Now this video has instructed me to buy perm rods. Cuz this is the style i would love to rock for the rest of my life lol Thanks sista!

[@OrganicSlay]

I just did this style to my hair and I LOVEEEEE ITTTT!!!! love it. From washing with clay to takin my twist out to Afro picking lol

[@HannahthetrueBADDIE]

Love love love that I finally discovered you on Instagram. You are so popping in all the ways! You are also the closest person I’ve seen that has hair similar to mine! I appreciate you, some of my curls are silky and loose and others are dry and tight. Real question what’s your favorite leave in conditioner and gel/cream to use? I know it’s different for each person but since my hair is so similar I would like to try your favorite cause it’s costly. Finally created an oil mix (try adding lemon grass oil it will help you hair grow fast)! Sorry if you are repeating yourself I couldn’t get through all 500+ comments. Thank you in advance and I can’t wait to test this out

[@tricechambers]

Hi 😁 Do a refresh video.. on how you refresh a dead fro after the few days...

[@sewwithstephanie]

This was great! finally someone who has the same texture as me! Thank you for the tips!

[@JoyWanakwanyi]

OMG! I literally thought u had type 3 hair with the fro! Slay Girl Slay! We have the same hair. Im mixed with 4B/C. No one can tell but my hair reacts differently in different parts. So i can tell the struggle is real girl!

[@nyccidarlin3655]

I love how your hair looked in the beginning 🥰

[@alliedossantos2282]

Okay but I love the pineapple look, some cute pine up make up and outfit 😍😍 yessss

[@kapparhotau181]

my texture is much more kinky and half the length but it came out similar to yours. Got alot of compliments. now will see how day 2 turns out with the pineapple wrap becuz my hair doesnt like it when i dont twist the ends at night. wish me luck lol.

[@CoCoAdREam22]

Hey girlie! Would you consider filming a follow-up video that details your fro's shape and a length check!?

[@kasongochisha4476]

Thanks. This is easy and I'll definitely trying it out. And you should try LCO and see rather than LOC. Thanks again.

I get the same dryness after a couple days, it's so tedious to restyle sometimes though. Anyways, I always love your fro! You need my Fro Stay Poppin' tee :)

[@silverhiker4549]

Your hair is so gorgeous! You are stunning! 💚💚💚

[@TysonNoMike]

Not sure if I seen a comb used!!!? (To pick it out of course) Love it , Im guessing it’s for retention??

[@raijeanthomas4578]

Also, I'm sure you are a very busy person. When I wear my hair in a fro it doesn't last long either but in order for you to get a third or even a fourth day, you could always moisturize then toss in a puff. That would help extend the life of your hair
