 On our previous blog we talked about sealing moister and at the end we introduced methods. In today's blog we will explain further on what those methods are and how best to use them for the best results. Let's dive right into it.... Struggling with dry, brittle hair no matter how much product you use? Fam, the issue might not be what you’re using — it’s how you’re layering it. Enter the LOC and LCO methods — two simple ways to lock in moisture , reduce breakage, and keep your hair soft and thriving. 🌿 What Are the LOC and LCO Methods? These are two popular routines used to layer moisture into your hair in a specific order . The difference between them is the sequence of product application. 🔸 LOC = Liquid ➝ Oil ➝ Cream 🔸 LCO = Liquid ➝ Cream ➝ Oil Let’s break it down… 💦 Step 1: L = Liquid (Hydration) This is your water-based base. The goal is to hydrate the hair shaft. ✅ You can use: Plain water in a spray bottle Water + leave-in conditioner mix Aloe...

  Now that we’ve cleansed and conditioned our hair, let’s talk about the final and often underrated step: sealing in moisture . Your hair may be clean and soft, but without sealing, all that goodness can evaporate —leaving you with dry, frizzy, or brittle strands by day two. Sealing helps keep your hair moisturized for longer, promoting growth, shine, and overall health. 💧✨ Whether your hair is short, long, natural, or transitioning, this step is for you! ✅ 1. Gently Squeeze Out Excess Water After rinsing your conditioner: Use your hands, a soft t-shirt, or a microfiber towel to blot out excess water (avoid rough towels). Your hair should be damp , not dripping wet. ✅ 2. Apply a Leave-In Conditioner (Your Hydration Layer) This is your first layer of moisture before sealing. 💡 Focus on your ends and dry spots. Don’t forget the crown or nape if they dry out fast. Great leave-ins to try based on hair/scalp type: Dry scalp / low porosity : ➤ TGIN Green Tea Lea...

Welcome back to the blog, fam! 👋 Today, we’re breaking down a common question — and if you’re new to hair care, this post is especially for you. You’ve probably heard people talk about leave-in conditioner and rinse-out conditioner , but what do they really do? Do you need both? Let’s make it simple. 🧴 What Is a Rinse-Out Conditioner? This is the conditioner you use right after shampooing your hair. Just like how lotion softens your skin after washing it — rinse-out conditioner softens your hair after cleansing. ✅ What it does: Adds moisture back into your hair after shampooing Makes your hair soft, smooth, and easy to detangle Helps reduce breakage and frizz Prepares your hair for styling ✅ How to use it: Shampoo your hair and rinse it out. Apply a small amount of conditioner to the ends of your hair (not the scalp). Leave it on for 2–5 minutes. Rinse it out thoroughly with water. 🧠 Think of it as a quick hug for your hair — helping it bounc...

 Let’s be honest — conditioning might feel like an extra step, especially if you’re new to haircare. But trust me: it’s one of the most important things you can do for both your hair and scalp . Whether you have long hair, short curls, a fade, or even waves — conditioning helps keep your hair strong, soft, and easier to manage. And if your scalp tends to feel dry, itchy, or tight, conditioning can soothe and protect it too. 💡 So… What Is a  Conditioner, really? Think of shampoo as the cleanser — it removes dirt, sweat, and product buildup from your scalp. But conditioner? It’s the restorer . It adds moisture, smooths your strands, reduces frizz, and gives your scalp a much-needed drink after washing. It’s like lotion after a shower — your hair and scalp need that moisture to stay healthy. 🧴 How to Use Conditioner (Step-by-Step) Shampoo first Always start with clean hair. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo that focuses on your scalp. Squeeze out excess water...

Your shampoo isn't just a cleansing product — it's the foundation of your scalp health. Picking the right one can mean the difference between a happy scalp and one that's dry, itchy, or flaking. Let’s break it down so you can shop smart and wash better — no matter your gender or hair type. 🧠 Know Your Scalp Type First: Before picking a shampoo, ask yourself: What does my scalp feel like between washes? Oily scalp: Feels greasy within a day or two? You likely need a clarifying shampoo — but not one that strips your scalp dry. Dry/itchy scalp: Always flaking or tight? Go for moisturizing or scalp-soothing formulas. Normal scalp: No flakes or itch? A gentle, balanced shampoo will maintain that harmony. Sensitive scalp: Easily irritated by products? Look for fragrance-free, sulphate-free, or hypoallergenic shampoos. ✅ Shampoo Selection Cheat Sheet: Scalp Type     Shampoo Type to Look for      Avoid These Oily    Clarifying or b...
