Hydrating afro curly hair daily is crucial for maintaining the health, softness, and definition of the hair. Due to the natural coiling pattern, moisture does not flow easily down the shaft, necessitating daily hydration.
Next, follow the LOC or LCO method - Liquid, Oil, Cream or Liquid, Cream, Oil - whatever your hair prefers. Once liquid is applied to the hair (water or a leave-in product), it should be sealed with a lightweight oil, such as coconut, jojoba, or argan oil. The process should then be finished with a moisturizing cream or butter.
Use products that are free of sulfates, parabens, and alcohol, as these can strip the curls of their natural moisture. Shea butter, glycerin, aloe vera, and honey are the ingredients that help maintain moisture.
A consistent daily moisturizing routine along with the right products keeps your afro curly hair hydrated, healthy, and vibrant.
