How to apply moisturizing products(LOC/LOC)

Liquid- this can be water and you can mix water with glycerin which has humectant properties (absorb moisture from the air to your hair) especially if your hair is low porosity. Other than water, you can use a moisture boost leave-in conditioner or both where you spritz water then apply the leave-in conditioner.

Oil- Seal in with your favorite oil ( castor, olive, coconut, jojoba, tea tree oil etc). For high porosity naturals, use heavy oils like castor oil to seal the moisture and use light oils for low porosity hair.

Cream- Seal in with shea & mango hydrating butters. The creams ought to be moisturizing and for the styling and curling queens this is where you style and curl it up.
