How To Retain Moisture For A Longer Time In Natural Hair

Hi ladies!
This week, I'm gonna be sharing some tips for retaining moisture for a longer period.

1. Use the LOCO method.
Move over the LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method of moisturizing, the LOCO(Liquid,Oil,Cream,Oil) is another way to effectively retain moisture.

2. Wear more twisted and/or braided protective styles. These help to lock in moisture than loose styles. Small twists, big twists, chunky braids, whatever works for you.

3. Wear satin/silk scarfs at night and beneath any head gear to help retain moisture at everytime of the day.

4. Deep Condition frequently especially moisture-intensive treatments. This cannot be overemphasized. In fact it should be a weekly staple. They help to contain the dryness and retain moisture.

5. Don't forget to spray your hair daily with your hair spritz. A travel-size spray bottle should be a staple in your handbag.

How to do you retain moisture?

You have said it all. Spray Bottle is my best frnd dis days! My hair spritz is in a used "body spray bootle". My frnds in class couldn't help but ask wen they've noticed it for a couple of times, if I now carry body spray every where I go.lol. I told dem its for my hair. One of them just said "Oma, u n dis ur hair issue, u go soon tire", I shouted "NEVVVVEEERRR"

Been wearing my hair in a bun to keep my ends hidden all week.
My satin bonnet is on my bedside table so I have NO EXCUSE!
And of course, I have my travel size handy dandy spray bottle with me at all times :)
