5 Ways to Moisturize Natural Hair Hey, my blessed naturals! The one question I always get from my fellow naturals is what can they do to moisturize dry natural hair. Here are 5 ways that work for me: 1. LOC Method: LOC stands for Liquid, Oil, and Cream. I've used this method a lot in the past, especially when I first went natural. I would apply water, olive oil, and a leave-in conditioner or moisturizer. This method allows you to moisturize your hair and then seal in the moisture using an oil My favorite moisturizer is the Cantu Creamy hair lotion. My favorite oil to use currently is coconut oil. Pay attention to how often you need to apply the products to your hair. For example, in the winter, I have to moisturize and seal my hair 2 times a day. In the summer, I only have have to do this once a day or every other day. 2. Deep Condition: After washing my hair, I try to always deep condition it. I usually apply a creamy conditioner like Suave Almond and Shea Butte...

pre-poo: I applied tea tree oil to my scalp, then I sprayed water mixed with peppermint oil on my hair.  Happy Sunday, my blessed naturals! I hope you all are having a great weekend. I know some of you have been wondering what is going on with my hair. The truth is that not much is going on, lol. I haven't really been styling my hair in any fancy styles. I've only been rocking my hair in my usual puff and flat twist hairstyle. My hair has been frizzy also. I've noticed that when I wear my hair in a puff hairstyle for a long period of time and I only use my hands to neaten the puff, my hair starts to look frizzy if I keep the style in for too many days at a time. Since I've been walking around with my hair looking like a fuzzy bear, lol ( at least, to my eyes), I decided to install some two-strand twists this weekend. I am sitting under a heating cap while I type. The conditioner has been on my hair for more than an hour. I will detangle, rinse, and band ...

Last week, I applied Tea Tree Oil (for my dandruff) and Jojoba Oil to my hair as a pre-poo. I wore a plastic cap for about 20 minutes before shampooing my hair. This wash day was the first time that I tried removing shed hair with my fingers, while my hair was dry.  I used a dandruff shampoo and regular shampoo to cleanse my hair and scalp lol. For some reason, my scalp does not get clean easily, especially after adding a conditioner. I also have to be sure that I rub my edges with the shampoo. If not, I will end up with build-up after shampooing my hair. After applying Carol's Daughter Hair Milk and Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion, I banded my hair on the first day. The next day, I installed two-strand twists.
