Deep Condition With Heat
Do you know that low porosity hair needs heat for the cuticles to lift and for water and products to penetrate?

By saying heat I don’t mean using flat-irons or blowdryers but warm moist heat.

Using steamers or heating caps or even blow dryer attachments for 15-30 minutes allows the cuticles to open so that the goodness of the conditioner can get into the hair strands.

In case you are covering your head with a warm towel o overnight deep conditioning, you want your diy deep conditioner for low porosity hair to sit for about two hours since body heat is not as hot as artificial heat.

Here are the Products used for the Recipe above:

  • Coconut oil
  • Olive oil
  • Honey

Don’t forget to follow up with the coconut oil conditioning shampoo For dry, damaged hair.

How to Moisturize Immediately After Rinsing Out Your Deep Conditioner Using The LCO Method
Liquid, Cream, Oil works best for LoPo hair than the popular LOC method.

After rinsing out your deep conditioner with warm water and if you like to be a little extra, soaking your hair in alkaline water, squeeze out the excess water, blot lightly with a cotton t-shirt not a towel and then apply your leave-in, cream and oil.

Don’t blowdry after moisturizing.

Air-drying is best but if you must, use cold air because hot/warm air will reopen the cuticles causing all the moisture you worked hard to get in to escape.
