Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair.
this was by far the best visual learning experience of my life. why the hell isn't school like this XD
Breona I know, right?!?!
The ridges on the hair strands make me want to itch.
lol same
Ikr. trypophobia
Josie yesss lol
Thought it was just me! I was like I can’t even watch this- but I love her voice and the info so I can listen :)
Funny that I have phobia of certain things however this does nothing.
Your voice is very soothing and the visuals are fantastic when it comes to learning about the different methods. You're amazing. A wonderful teacher.
I really enjoy your informative and objective perspective on hair. I always learn something new with every upload. Thank you so much for the shoutout I feel honored! 😊
AfrikanHairGod you're both amazing. Good to see my favs boosting each other.
Lol at the end when she showed you I yelled at my screen Afrikaaaann Hair God Yessssss ..lol ♡♡♡♡♡
AfrikanHairGod
AfrikanHairGod I literally just commented about how I love your channel and how it's ironic I mentioned her in your comment section once. Hey!!!
AfrikanHairGod goldmouth100 lol me too!!! I love them both!!!
Sis. We don’t deserve you 😩❤️ thank you so much!
Exactly...I discovered this on my own...Instead of LOC or LCO, I just do LC or LO on my thin, low porosity hair...
ON. POINT. With the information!!! I'm a low-porosity and had to figure out on my own over time that I had to just use either a cream or an oil after hydrating, but not both. I wish I had this video sooner, lol.
Don't forget to tell those other low-po sisters about that HEAT though. Warm water has actually become my best friend when it comes to moisturizing!
My hair is low porosity too. I'm going to try the warm water tip, thank you!
Jackie Crawford warming up the products does the same
Jackie Crawford should we use creams that have a high water content ? I just got the qhemet heavy cream for my thin low porosity hair as well as the Camille rose curlaide.. lighter products don't seem to be moisturizing my hair..
@@Crawfordsfive yes! It opens the hair shaft which helps absorb more product and warm water feels good.
I always wondered why coconut oil worked so well for others, but not for me. Now I know :)
I'm low porosity and used to do L.C.O because I always heard that was best for low porosity. I tried L.O.C a couple months ago out of curiosity and I'm never going back to L.C.O. The trick is to use a light weight oil. My hair is gaining it's fullness back after hair loss from covid, it's super shiny and stays shiny until my next wash day.
Do you do this on soaking wet hair or damp hair?
@Neesha242 I only do this right after washing my hair once a week. I spray with water and a liquid based leave in mixed together for the "l" part of loc. Then follow with oil and cream. I then twist my hair with a foaming styler and dry. Untwist the next day and pineapple my hair at night.
I find the LCO method is way better for my hair. I find when I do the LOC method, my hair feels so dry after! But the LCO always leave my hair looking and feeling the best and super healthy. Thanks for sharing this!
The video seems to make sense but my only question is if the cream and oil mixes up (as stated in the video) when applied one after the other then does it really mater which one you apply first?
Oils can either coat or moisturise so it is important
Same
Thank you for this video! I recently realized that my hair does much, much better with just water and shea butter, no oil, but that was after about 4 years of wondering what I was doing wrong or what was wrong with my hair that the LOC and LCO methods weren't working for me. When you first go natural and you're learning, you watch videos and tend to follow the masses.
Well said
Hey girl it's been 3 years. Any updates on your hair?
My hair does better without oil too
Uuuugh, where were you when I was figuring this out years ago? I love your channel. I call it a shortcut to anybody's hair journey because you seriously have ALL the key info here. I'm low porosity and I bought anything and everything until I found one great cream leave-in and figured out that L.C was all I needed for my hair to look beautiful. Nowadays, I only use oil if i plan on heat styling and even then, very sparingly. BTW Avocado oil - also excellent for us low porosity girls.
I love sunflower oil in my hair and on my skin. It's light, penetrates well, doesn't cause that weird coconut reaction, and you can get a huge bottle for cheap in the cooking oil aisle at the grocery store. It's considered a "dry oil" because it doesn't leave a sticky residue. I was actually able to stop using almost all of my face stuff and just put a little oil twice a day and my skin stays just as smooth. Fantastic stuff.
I have low porosity type 4 hair and I use the L.C method and the L.O Method. I use water (preferably heated) and a grease to lock in the moisture and for the L.O, I use water and a mix of coconut oil and Jamaican black castor oil. Just works for my hair. In between shampoo cleanses and conditioning, I use a water based liquid conditioner to brush out my hair with (not too much) and at least once a month after I shampoo and condition - I use a protein treatment (preferably hair mayonnaise) and then after that I just brush and twist my hair with no further product. So far my hair has been in the best condition it’s ever been in. Watching your videos has shown me how to take care of MY HAIR.
I have a beautiful son who’s half black and for the past 12 years I’ve struggled with moisturising and maintaining his beautiful locks. This is the first video I’ve seen that’s actually been informative and helpful. It’s answered so many questions I’ve had. There’s so many mixed messages on the internet and being a visual learner, this was definitely a godsend. Thank you.
I've been at this for years now and can't believe I'm just coming across your channel a couple of weeks ago. You are the most informed and scientific vlogger to date! I've learned so much is such a short amount of time.
Sorry what kind of oil and cream we have to use.. pls tell me
DeAndre Rahaman.. hi dear what kind of oil and cream I have to use and what about liquid? I will wait your answer. Thank you
So this tells me what I’ve been doing wrong with my naturally porous fine hair: I can put waaaaaay more cream and oil on my hair than I do. I thought less was better, but I could benefit from using more cream and/or oil because my hair can absorb a lot more than I thought. THIS EXPLAINS why my hair is best when I put too much leave in on it by mistake. No matter how much I put on it, three minutes later, it will be GONE, soaked up in my hair.
And my hair will look much softer and better.
Thank you for this!
My hair is like that too. Before LOC my hair was constantly dry and easily weighed down so I figured I needed to go very very light on product, and oil scared me to try. But once I gave LOC a shot my hair just soaked everything up and got super happy.
well, less products to buy for this low porosity chick,thanks for the info,keep up the good work👍👍😎
I love him! And I love that I mentioned you in his comment section awhile ago. It came full circle.
I absolutely could not wait to see part 2. Thanks for posting
I have coarse, dense, high porosity hair and I do the LOC method but how I do it and which products I use depends on whether its wash day or a mid week re-moisturizing. I tend to use penetrating oils only on wash day and use my creamy leave in as the C, while mid week I'll spritz with aloe vera juice or gel and use a creamy leave-in as the L, sealing oils for the O and my styling butter as the C. I never really thought about why I did this but I noticed early on the the difference this method makes in retaining moisture. I also apply my products with a very light hand and gradually build up coverage as needed because I don't like residue or a greasy, oily feel on my hair.
this is the only video that has made me proud of my high porosity hair, thank you soo much :)
I love the way you elaborate. You've answered a lot of questions I was searching for. Keep up the great work. Now I can take my natural hair journey serious thanks.
This explains a lot. My hair was heavy with products. Thank you for the info.
This is the best visual video description I've seen of comparing the two techniques. Thank you!
Thank you for yet another clear and informative video on LCO/LOC methods.
You’ve done it once again! I am considering doing a big chop, tired of retained relaxed hair. I’m not very good with handling a twa this why I did a relaxer again... this is soooo helpful!!!
Bless you! 👏🏾
Take care and be well!🌹
Definitely high porosity hair for me.
I've recently been using a thinner more watery Conditioner and I found this simple step really helped my low porosity hair
omg why didn't I come across your channel when I first went natural. I feel like your videos are like taking a natural hair course. Thanks for educating us!!!!!
I am low porosity and I find that skipping the oil layer has been really beneficial to my hair and my hair no longer gets greasy.
I have normal to low porosity, and my hair love LCO, but I can get away with just LC too. I can do LO if the oil is unrefined coconut oil.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We need more science based channels like this for healthy, safe beauty.
Love love love this video GB, I see what I need to start doing and that's checking which is better for me the LC or LO method since I have low porosity hair. Never thought of just using two not three products. Thank u so much!
This is so awesome!!! What a caring, thoughtful, and informative video! Thank you so much!!
That was SO GOOD!!!! I learned so much from this! The visuals and your kind, amazing voice made it so understandable! Thank you thank you so very much!!! 🙏🏽
That makes so much sense for Low Porosity hair. I always felt the LCO was too much for me, you confirmed my hypothesis. LC or LO
This is really informative. I’ve learned more from your videos in the last 40 minutes than I have in years. You clear concise approach is relevant and helpful. I value this approach. I also enjoy others showing their experimentations so no disrespect there.
Ive been watching your videos for a while and they helped me a lot.Thank you very much and I appreciate your videos.keep the good work up.
Quite helpful !,
Was Starting to hate on my high porosity lately but your videos made me appreciate it the way it is
I love this! Your videos are always so informative. Keep up the good work. 👍❤
Thank you so much for suggesting the L.C. method for low porosity hair. It's changed my life! My hair dries so much faster and it feels so much softer~😭👌🏽
I have pretty high porosity and I always wondered by the LCO method always worked so much better for me. Now I know why. Thanks!
I love the way you explain haircare! You are very intelligent and informative keep them coming!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! This video had so much information that I've needed for way too long. Super helpful! 👍
I'm low porosity with fine strands, and I use either L.C. or L.O. depending on how I plan to style. I can't do any more than that, and I'm happy because I save so much money on product.
Great video and very informative. Getting back to natural after many, many years of various chemical processes and thanks yours and other selected videos I am in a way, living the “ If I knew then what I know now” saga armed with this valuable information.
Thinking back when I was younger and my hair was in it’s natural state, I realized that my hair grew out fast and healthy though at the time it seemed like it took a while but that’s because 6 months to a year feels like forever when in your teens and twenties as opposed to how time passes for me now that I am of a certain age. Lol. I’ve learned to take it a day at a time and I even have a special notebook to use as a journal to track what I do, what products I use with each process and other detailed facts to keep me focus like the date I last had a relaxer, dates I trim my hair and I think maybe I should also take pictures of my progress too.
I know, I know I’m letting a bit of Nerd show but it’s for a good cause to help me and anyone else that don’t mind sharing info.
By the way, as of today I am a subscriber.
Blessings
This video was pretty amazing. I thought I would have to go through 6 or more videos to find out which one was for me (as I typically have to do for research ) but this thorough and concise video made it easy. Subbing! Thanks!
this channel is in my top five..easy.informative and to the point
I bought some sweet almond oil from tj max once and it worked wonders on my low porosity hair! That oil is amazing!
Mind blowing as always. Thanks a whole lot for all your videos they've been really helpful.
This is amazing, I love the way you explain everything!!
Thank you so much for this video. I have low porosity hair. And I have always been uncomfortable with loc and lco method for my hair. And I've been using lo or lc. Thanks for confirming my guts.
Your speaking voice and presentation is life. Your cadence and diction are wonderful Thank you for this great video.
Thank you so much for this information. I grew my hair three years ago well by washing my hair and going right into greasin my scalp then brushing the grease from scalp to ends. Then one day I wanted braids. I only washed my hair and from your video I can tell that that was the death of my hair. It's been so dry and I've cut it about 7 times already in the last three years. I will go back to my methods. Thanks so much again.
Can you please do a video on the effectiveness (or lack there of) of hot oil treatments. A lot of people (me included) have been doing them without actually knowing if it is beneficial to our hair
So happy I found your channel! You explained everything so well! Thank you for this videos. Subscribing and watching all your other videos. 💗
Thank you sis. I now know how to use The LOC method on my low porosity hair.
This video was so easy to understand! After watching this I HAD to subscribe, and I will definitely be going through all of your videos. Tfs!
This is awesome. Thank you so much. I have a guy friend that's been trying to grow his hair but always complains about how dry it is. Will definitely be passing this on
So helpful and informative! Thanks!
So glad I saw this video. Thanks for the info!
~Thank you, thank you, thank you.. Exceptional presentation of valualble info. As a visual learner, this helpss immensely. You rock!
This video is perfect! So informative and well put together
This is a FANTASTIC video, on so many levels
I ain't realize how much info you were about to drop. I had to pause, go get a notebook and pen and restart. Sis. Thank u! Too much good info overload. Lol
Great video as always. Look forward to the next one. Thank you!
Girl this video, love your knowledge and thank you for sharing. This info can also help me with my friends beard hairs. X
Oh my gosh, this video ia so helpful, sometimes I use lco, and loc and I have varying levels of moisture which I thought was weird, I didn't know what to use but now I understand I have high porosity hair at the sides and slightly lower porosity at the middle thanks!
Excellent video!!!! Thank you as always for sharing!
Excellent break down. Thank you!
YOUR VIDEOS GIVE ME LIFE. I WISH I FOUND U SOONER♥️✨
Wow. This was so informative. Thank you so much for creating this video. ❤️
This video was super informative! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you thank you. Your videos are so helpful!
Your awesome 👏🏽 thank you for all the work that you do !!
I tried this on my normally porous dry hair. Game changer. I also noticed the amount I used for the 1st 2 weeks, changed and I need much less product now. Hair stopped breaking and is so much softer.
I love the visuals. It makes it easy to understand. ❤
Great information and beautiful, easy to understand presentation!
This is a very useful video and one of your best. Thanks so much for this.
Great video!!! Thank you for teaching us!
Great video! Love the visual aids! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this video! It was the info I needed to hear for my hair journey. Bc I've been doing this natural thing for about six months now, and I'm just not having any luck with products. And my hair is looking horrid.
Im doing research into more natural products at home--and to develop my own personal routine and habits. And also to make sure one product isn't cancelling another.
But in order for that to occur, I need to understand the mechanics going on. And for them to be given at a speed I can take in lol. Thanks so much and God bless
My gosh, I always thought loc didn't make sense but I understand now how it works! I have high porosity and I use lco method but my hair still puffs with the lightest humidity when I step outside. I'm gonna try loc and see how it does! Thanks!
This was wonderfully done!
This was so knowledgeable thank you so much for this!
Wow! Such an engaging and extremely well made video! I wish I stumbled upon your site sooner!
Thank you for these Visuals!
Thank you so much for making this video!! I'm low porosity and I though coconut oil was good for my hair when it really wasn't, it would dry out my hair but I would think that's just how it work when it really wasn't how it works it was just my hair that didn't like it, I will def go get some organ oil or jojoba oil, THANK YOU!!!
This was so informative! Thank you so much!
What a great explanation!!
Thanks for confirming something I was finding out. I have multiple textures and porosity levels on my head.
Best video I have seen on this topic.
GURL THESE DAMN VISUALS ARE WORKING FOR MY LIFE. THXXX
Very informative. Thanks for telling me the difference.
Extremely helpful! Thank you!
It is possible to make a video about the new trend of candle split end Treatment . How effective is that method ? Burning split end to retain length . I have read controversial opinions about this method. Hopefully you'll be able to educate your viewers on this peculiar subject . Thanks
Omg!!! Best explanation ever!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽💓💓
Thank you for sharing 🍀
Thank you. Your mind is Beautiful
