Black women make me so proud. We've come so far, figured so much out about ourselves through our own research, own science and experimentation, and plain old simple trial and error. No one took our hand and guided us, or gave us the key to our knowledge. But here we are speaking on lopo hair and the reasoning behind it. Look how far we've come. I love us for real. Lol 🖤💕🖤💕

@Ferrist14 жыл бұрын
Use warm/hot water. I also like to put my deep conditioner on and then wrap it in my hot heads cap and sit under a hood or get one of those portable hoods to attach to your blow dryer and just let it go for 15 mins so the heat can open the strands of hair and let the moisture through. Then I rinse in warm/hot water, apply a leave in, a lotion, and a sealant. Plus I water my hair with a homemade rejuvenating spray, daily (my hair is 4c lopo and loves to be watered like a plant apparently. Lol.) This routine has been helping me stay moisturized. Hope this helps even a little.
@MsFavored014 жыл бұрын
I always deep condition and I heat my products before I apply them. Do not put your products in the microwave lol ....I put some water in a microwave safe bowl and heat the water for about 5 to 8 minutes. Then I put my products in the water for about 5-8 minutes. I apply them to my hair using the LCO method. HUGE difference from when I didn’t heat my products before applying them #GameChanger

Good video. That’s why I rinse my hair with water for at least 4 minutes before cleansing my hair. I also do the LCO method and try to stay away from protein treatments. I thought I needed protein because of trying to have a moisture/protein balance. Well after using protein my hair starting breaking...so I found out low porosity hair is also protein sensitive... and my hair hates coconut oil. Just about all brands have some type of coconut oil in their products. Go figure. Anyway, I use henna as my protein which is no way near as harsh and a protein mask...at least for my hair anyway. I’ve been using henna for over 15 years. I use henna once a month and moisture for the rest of the month. It’s a weird balance but I think that’s what works for me...at least for now. I also noticed I can’t leave most moisture masks in my hair overnight it makes my hair look like a wet noodle. Hope this helps someone with the same issues.

I love that you soaked your hair to show us. I HAVE to wash my hair while showering, bc the humidity & constant flow of water on my hair is what makes the true curl pattern come out and it’s takes at least 10mins of being in that environment before I feel that it is a good time to put the shampoo and conditioner on. With low porosity you can definitely FEEL the difference. it’s better for us to have a long lasting protective style bc it’s hard to “refresh” or add more moisture midweek without wetting and messing up the set styles like wash and go’s or twist outs. Simply because you can’t just slap on product ... it’ll literally just sit there & have a reverse effect. (At least in my experience)

Like you said, I have heard it explained and read about it and knew what my own hair did, but just wasn't for some reason positive or maybe more so that I didn't feel qualified to know....but yea, my hair does the puff thing and before that my hair is like duck feathers, where the outside looks as if it's wet, but it's just big and if you pick up that very top layer, the hair is totally dry. So I need to look at different ways of deep conditioning I guess to help with the moisture my hair needs. Thanks so much for this!!! :)
