*Seal in again with cream or hair butter to close the hair cuticle e.g. Shea butter, etc.

LCO Method

*Same description as above (Cream and Oil interchanged).

Why do I have to use Liquid, Oil and Cream on my hair?
Liquid - water which is the best source and only true form of moisture for our natural hair. It goes down to our hair cuticle, thereby making the hair soft.

Oil - helps slow down the evaporation of water (moisture) from our hair.

Cream - slows down the loss of moisture to provide maximum hydration.
