For people who already watched and are coming back- 1. DO wash with warm water DON'T wash with cold water 2. DO wash in sections DONT wash all at once (split with your hands in about 4 sections to make sure the water gets everywhere) 3. DO clarify your hair consistently DON'T only use CO wash (wash with shampoo every 2 weeks) 4. DO rinse with warm water after shampooing DON'T rinse with cold water 5. DO deep condition with heat (30-45 minutes) - Put a shower cap on and get under a hooded dryer 6. DO apply leave in conditioner in the shower DON'T do it outside the shower with dry hair. (Apply in sections, and the same sections that you put the deep conditioned) 7. DO put a shower cap on immediately after you put in leave in conditioner until you style 8. DO use the LCO method DON'T use the LOC method 9. DO style with creams and butters 10. NEVER style on dry hair
@@ayotravis2571 just make sure to wash the scalp. and wash this way left and right instead of making circular motions cause circular motion will tangle your hair
Try 14 years!! 🤦🏻♀️😭 I’ve lost and ripped so much hair and I feel so bad about it now but I’m grateful that at least I’m starting now towards a healthier, more educated path. We’re gonna make it!!
Leave in + cap = popping curls 👏🏽👏🏽 especially for busy naturals who get out the shower and do a million things before styling. It keeps your hair moisturized until you are ready 💦💯
“That means you’re not washing yourself and that means we have bigger problems” 🤣🤣🤣 Love your authenticity and how informative you were in this video! 💗
I tried the shower cap thing today after wetting my hair with warm water. Lord have mercy!! My hair was slurping up the moisture! I am so glad I stumbled upon your video 🙌🏾
You saved my hair, I was contemplating the big chop because it seemed lifeless but I’m glad I came across this video. I’m just now learning how important porosity is. ❤️❤️❤️
I have to THANK YOU! I am just learning about porosity and I have never seen my hair react so well to a leave-in conditioner. My curls were juicy and soft after applying the conditioner in the shower and putting a shower cap on immediately and by not rinsing in cold water. The creme and oil went on really well after that and then I did mini twists for the first time and I love it. Thanks again.
I have been natural for 5 years and have been frustrated as to why product always sits on my hair after it's dried. Sis, you have truly enlightened me...I took notes and everything...I can't wait to try this and report back!
I've been natural my whole life and have been struggling my whole life. Followed all the big natural hair bloggers. I ended up with shiny but dry hair, serious breakage, fairy knots, bad build up. Finding out my hair is low porosity has been a game changer!
Great tips here. Also my hairdresser taught me to 'squish to condish' specially in the shower. Scrunch your curls and push the water in - work really well to stop frizzy roots 👍👍👍
Try LCO , since we have low porosity hair oil would be a better sealant than cream would for us. So instead of Liquid, oil, cream. Try liquid , cream, and oil
@@Sweetheart0189 the liquid could also be leave-in. I usually use only water if I feel like my hair is already moisturized and use leave-in if I feel like it could use some more moisture.
Sis just took me to school smh I'm learning for real though, I'm thinking thats my twist out, wash and go's and coils end up totally drying out because 1 I was listening to others when they say rinse with cold water and 2 The LOC method 😔 I promise I'm paying attention, you schooling, I'm gonna graduate! Lets go!
Yessssss sis! After our consultation every time I wash my hair I apply my leave-in in the shower and my hair is much more moisturized!!! It loves it! Each time I wash it, it gets better! Thank you x3 for your consultation and videos! You’ve literally saved my hair! I’ll be sending you pics! 👍🏽😘
Omg, I have to say THANK YOU. My hair became very dry after bleaching so I’ve been trying to restore moisture to my hair until I learned about porosity. I tried applying heat using hair dryer on shower cap, while doing the hair mask and THAT made all the difference to my hair! After just one session of that, it truly improved my hair moisture. Thank you so much. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Crys .. yes that shower cap method (put cap on after you put on leave-in) is a game changer 4 real .. I’ve learned this from you and Faye In The City.. luv this video and thanks for these tips 💕💕👍🏾
I tried your deep conditioning method with plastic bags and a towel over that for 1 hour. Combed through it with flying colors. Rinsed with warm water in the shower and immediately applied leave-in and went back under a plastic bag. An hour later, styling was a breeze, and I didn't need anymore water. My hair definitely said "Yo, keep doing this to me sis, 'cause this feels good!" Thank you for sharing your hair care gems. Priceless!
Ok yall she is Correct! You always layer products in order of evaporation AKA the original Loc Method! This is how you avoid Flakes for the most part. This method was created by a Beautiful Black Chemist name Chicoro, she wrote a book on it check your local library in your city, she created this Years ago on YT when natural hair wasn't a thing! Thanks honey! Great tips as usual! Love the videos!
I tried this tonight and I was washed conditioned detangled and twisted up in 2 hrs. My hair felt so soft using the warm water and the leave in on wet hair ….. amazing can’t wait to see how my twist out turns out
Let’s go crys! Tell it like it is sis! Putting the leave in on right after rinsing our the DC and adding a cap is truly bae!!! Currently it takes 2 hours for me to twist my head, And I never have to use a spray bottle ever!!!! Also applying that DC with warm water and steam in the shower when your cuticles are open in bae! It’s the same as the leave in process. Then after sitting under my dryer my hair feels bomb. The only thing I’m experimenting with is layering methods. I don’t fully believe the loc method is invalid. However it depends on each individuals head. So far the LCO method is winning though lol.
Thank you so much for posting it. These recommendations for low porosity have changed my hair and my life. My hair has never been so moisturized and looked better. I now know why the CG method and strictly co-washing and coconut oil treatments didn’t work for my hair. It all makes sense. Thank you so much for this!!!😍
I believe my hair is low porosity. It takes a long time to dry. I do put on leave-in conditioner in the shower, I split my hair while washing it in sections, and use a plastic cap when I sit under the dryer. I have notice that my hair does not like coconut oil. It dries it out. Thank you for sharing. So don't do the LOC method. Only do the LCO method? Love and Light.❤️❤️🙏
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing all these fantastic tips!! 🥰 And the one that I'm going to initially start to apply is putting my leave-in conditioner on in the shower and covering my hair. Secondly using the LCO method. 😍🤗 After I get control over these tangles and knotted areas that keep appearing on my hair. I believe based on some other UA-cam videos it's protein "overload' which I've never heard of. 🤔Waiting on a specialist to call me back to make an appointment for a consultation. 🙏🏽🙌
I do everything except apply heat to my deep conditioner. Depending on what products I'm using, I use the steam from the shower for about 10 mins or I put a shower cap on and then a bonnet for 30 mins and use the heat from my head. I do sometimes get under a hooded dryer to halfway dry my hair style so it will be dry the next day. My hair stays moisturize until my next wash day or longer.
Leave in in the shower is a game changer yesss. I follow EVERYTHING you tell me & I must say my hair is doing better & better as time goes on. It has really grown a lot. Just pass my 2nd year since my big chop thx best friend lol lol
Hey! I'm here today to thank you for this great routine. My hair is finally moisturized ,soft and my curls are defined thought out the week . I'm so grateful. ❤❤❤❤
“If you don’t have a towel that means you’re not washing yourself” 😂😂😭😭 i am FINISHED! I’ve found that using warm water for my entire wash day works wonders! Sometimes i see lo-po gurus using cold water after the DC which doesn’t make sense to me because you’re sealing off the moisture from the leave in . But to each it’s own i guess!
I agree with everything you said except the no gel recommendation. If you've conditioned, deep conditioned with heat, and added a leave-in, then you're perfectly fine to use a gel. Especially if you live in a humid climate, you need that gel for definition/hold and to make sure your hair is not a frizzy mess. Creams and butters just aren't enough.
Listen! Applying my leave in conditioner on WET hair has been a GAME CHANGER!!! Cant wait to try the shower cap on my leave-in! AND the LCO is the only method for me! Love you, Crys! Looking beautiful per usual!🤍
Thank you so much!!! This video helped me so much my hair was becoming very frizzy and I followed your advice and it’s perfect!! I haven’t been this happy with my hair in a while
I do pretty much everything you talked about, but since my hair is high porosity I follow with a cold water rinse. I can feel my hair texture change as I'm rinsing. The curl pattern 'sets' and my hair feels heavier, and very silky, and not as tangly as when I do warm rinses. I really enjoy your channel and the way you present information. Keep it up!
This video was very inspiring. I’ve been struggling with dry hair! After watching this video I was inspired to switch my whole routine. We’ll see how it goes. I forgot to add thank you!
Don't mind me just taking notes 3:28 Do: Wash hair with warm water. Don't wash with cold water! 5:36 Do: Wash in sections 6:58 Do: Clarify your hair consistently 8:56 Do: Deep condition with heat -dont say in the shower for 5 minutes to deep condition -Do stay in there for 30 to 45 minutes 10:16 How to deep condition 11:48 Do apply your leave in conditioner in the shower Don't wait until your hair is already dry 15:15 loc method
Thank you so much for this video. Never knew about porosity and that's the key I was missing for my hair! I'm low porosity and now I can navigate better with my hair when it comes to products. Now I can help my neice better who is low porosity like me, she 3yrs old🥰
Yassssssss!!!!!! Thanks for putting me on game. I'm a 4CLP w/ med-fine hair. My hair always feel like a brilliant pad. And my poor scalp....the agony. I feel like this is about to take my hair to the next level! ❤💙💜💖💗
I want to Thank you for all the information that you have giving me, my hair loves what you recommend to do, my hair has grew so much i'm still in disbelief. I know there is a lot of youtubers out there, but people I need for you to listen to my girl right here she's telling the truth my hair has done a whole new 360 on her knowledge my hair is so long I just keep looking at it like wow that's all I have to say i'm speechless really I'm. Thank you once again I'm hooked on C.C
I'll keep with my LLOC method (liquid [water], leave in, oil, cream [for styling only].) My low porosity 4c hair loves it. BTW, only class 1 and 2 oils seal. Class 3 (jojoba, sweet almond oil, macadamia oil, hempseed oil, safflower oil, grapeseed oil, etc.
Hey I understand wat ur saying but the LCO method doesn't work for my hair So I do the LOB method which stands for L-leave in conditioner O-oil B-shea butter And that method have been working for me very well on my type four hair, but thank you so much for your tips
Girl tank u so much. Have watched lots of video Abe low porosity hairs, urs is d best and easier to understand. Pls i need d link for d zoom class if u don't mind.
it’s crazy to me that I’m the only Latina ik in my whole family who has low porosity hair NO WONDER !! bc my hair is curly and everyone else is striaght I was always so jealous!! but it’s time I embrace it, I’ve cut it so many times bc it’s so damaged and I hated the curls so I’m going to follow this video !!
I’m literally the same way!! I was jealous of my family’s straight hair so I straightened it all the time but girl it is our time too embrace it. How are ur curls going so far 😭
I LOVE this thank you!!!!! Because my type 3 frizzy fine, LOW porosity hair does NOT like cold water! Twenty something years ago even a dresser misinformed me about the cold water deal and didn't "get" how different my curly hair is SO different from her daughter's curly hair, hence NEVER left my hair anything but dull and styled incorrectly. Heat = good for my hair when it comes to conditioning for sure!
I didn’t follow these the years after my big chop, didn’t even know I was low porosity until about a year ago. BUT I just did another one and will be following these now! Thank you🙏🏾😭🥰
Just came across this video thru search, and used every tip. I've been struggling with my5 yr olds hair for about 3 yes since her texture changed. She is low porosity and super high density. Just washed her hair last night and used the green house method.. game changer. Thank you very much!
Girrlll I've been doing everything wrong. Thats why I never really had a successful wash day. Always struggled with trying to get moisture in my hair. I'm definitely going to follow these steps. Thankyou sis!!!!!💖
Omg! I just found out that my hair is low porosity. Needless to say, I've been doing everything wrong. I was about to do another big chop. Until I came across your video. I can't thank you enough for all your tips. I've been abusing my hair for years😭
Okay, sis!!! I tried the leave-in while in the shower. It did work. Thank you about the not rinsing with cold water. And, I’ve started using avocado and jojoba oil. Dee Dee (my hair) loves those oils.
Everyone's hair is different and what worked for you might not work for me and vice versa.. My hair is long and prone to tangles so doing LOC somehow made it less tangled and my hair stays moistured and soft even for a full week. A stylist mentioned that using light products penetrants to low porosity hair better and I found that to be true my hair suck in the products and stays moistured so much better with light weight products the lighter the better and it doesn't do well with creams and specially butters my hair hates butters, it does well with lighter oils like almond and argan oil
1. clarifiying shampoo 2. deep condition with heat (warm conditioner in hot water before hand/apply conditioner to warm hair/plastic cap) 3. lco 4. not too much protein? (silk/hydrolzed/wheat are good) 5. warm water 6. stay away from thick heavy products??? 7. stay away from protein treatments? 8. work on damp not wet hair eextra: use a deep conditioner not a conditioner, moisturizing cream on top of leave in? continue doing split sections never style on dry hair put a shower cap after doing leave in until ready to style
Jamaican black castor oil, Aloe Vera, cling film, Indian clay, cantu creamy shampoo, cantu deep treatment or deep conditioning masque must have heat, drink plenty of water, biotin drops, Indian clay use warm water or apple cider vinegar, these are the stuff I use but not all in one go, I have to wash my hair in warm to slightly hot. You can buy all those products online or buy them in hair shop stores. Low porosity you need time patience, meditate massage and pray for your hair. Thank you I’ve been looking for a low porosity natural hair for ages subs straight away. Take care on all your hair journeys, God bless 🙏🏽❤️😍
God has just been leading me to great hair care black women on UA-cam!!! I am most definitely subscribing and recommending you to my friends. Won’t He do it 💃🏿
Thanks for revisiting this topic. I have started applying my leave-in in the shower and it has a made a such a big difference in moisture in my hair. Also I have been using the LCO method and that has definitely been a game changer.
Girl!!! My hair has been dry because of coloring from the past and after I watched your video I tried the LCO method and it’s been about 6 hours since I did it, my hair is stilllllll moisturized!!
I did the leave in tip this past weekend without knowing, and I was able to use much less leave in. Mine foams on wet hair so a little went a long way and no more coated feeling bc I'm using too much! Abt the LOC comment: People rarely use water for their liquid, so doesn't the leave in have ingredients to seal in the water by itself. Most good ones are made to coat and lubricate the strand, no? So the oil is just an extra layer to what is already "sealed". And why is it necessary to style on wet hair if the moisture is already sealed in?? I'm not too interested in the mechanics of everything but had these thoughts as you were sharing. Great tips!
The LOC method can work if you're using an oil that isn't a sealant. All oils aren't sealants. Some can penetrate the hair itself. The LOC method is wrong due to the oils people are using . Plus the LOC method requires an extra step at the end if it's being done right. I personally use the LCO method.
I'm learning Crys, I just figured out to make sure my hair is soaking wet throughout my wash day routine, my hair would be wet but not soaking wet, it makes a difference, good tips 🥰
Great video! I follow all of these tips religiously except for the oil sealing at the end. Depending on the products I'm using my hair doesn't need it but for someone trying to figure out their regimen I think this is a good foundation
Crys, Just subscribed. I agree -The LCO method and the warm water wash/rinse and apply in shower leave-in and seal with oil is the absolute best 4 my low porosity hair.😊
I actually don't use oils on a consistent basis but when I do 95% of the time it is after all of my other products and most times I don't even put oil on my wet hair. The only oil I've consistently used on my wet hair and even before my cream is the melanin Haircare oil which is super nourishing

Thank you so much!!! This video helped me so much my hair was becoming very frizzy and I followed your advice and it’s perfect!! I haven’t been this happy with my hair in a while
I do pretty much everything you talked about, but since my hair is high porosity I follow with a cold water rinse. I can feel my hair texture change as I'm rinsing. The curl pattern 'sets' and my hair feels heavier, and very silky, and not as tangly as when I do warm rinses. I really enjoy your channel and the way you present information. Keep it up!
“You are setting yourself up for some juicyness” lol I love her attitude. “Comment down below with your testimony” haha
This video was very inspiring. I’ve been struggling with dry hair! After watching this video I was inspired to switch my whole routine. We’ll see how it goes. I forgot to add thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. Never knew about porosity and that's the key I was missing for my hair! I'm low porosity and now I can navigate better with my hair when it comes to products. Now I can help my neice better who is low porosity like me, she 3yrs old🥰
Yassssssss!!!!!! Thanks for putting me on game. I'm a 4CLP w/ med-fine hair. My hair always feel like a brilliant pad. And my poor scalp....the agony. I feel like this is about to take my hair to the next level! ❤💙💜💖💗
I want to Thank you for all the information that you have giving me, my hair loves what you recommend to do, my hair has grew so much i'm still in disbelief. I know there is a lot of youtubers out there, but people I need for you to listen to my girl right here she's telling the truth my hair has done a whole new 360 on her knowledge my hair is so long I just keep looking at it like wow that's all I have to say i'm speechless really I'm. Thank you once again I'm hooked on C.C
I couldn't wait to post that
I'll keep with my LLOC method (liquid [water], leave in, oil, cream [for styling only].) My low porosity 4c hair loves it.
BTW, only class 1 and 2 oils seal. Class 3 (jojoba, sweet almond oil, macadamia oil, hempseed oil, safflower oil, grapeseed oil, etc.
I have low porosity hair.
Thank you.
Needed these tips
I was literally sitting on my bed, with my shower cap on when you forced my ass up to use my dryer. I’m grateful for these tips.
Hey I understand wat ur saying but the LCO method doesn't work for my hair
So I do the LOB method which stands for
L-leave in conditioner
O-oil
B-shea butter
And that method have been working for me very well on my type four hair, but thank you so much for your tips
Girl tank u so much. Have watched lots of video Abe low porosity hairs, urs is d best and easier to understand.
Pls i need d link for d zoom class if u don't mind.
it’s crazy to me that I’m the only Latina ik in my whole family who has low porosity hair NO WONDER !! bc my hair is curly and everyone else is striaght I was always so jealous!! but it’s time I embrace it, I’ve cut it so many times bc it’s so damaged and I hated the curls so I’m going to follow this video !!
I’m literally the same way!! I was jealous of my family’s straight hair so I straightened it all the time but girl it is our time too embrace it. How are ur curls going so far 😭
Same here 😉,
this has been the most useful youtube video for me so far! thanx for literally saving my life queen 🙏
Thank you so much for the tips! I’m taking down my braids next weekend! I’m definitely following all of these steps!
God bless!
I cried laughing!! "If you don't have a towel, you not washing yourself, you got bigger problems." I love your videos!!! Very informative.
I just learned I have low porosity hair found this video! What great information! Thank you for taking the time to explain things so thoroughly!
I didn’t know I had low porosity hair until today and I had been putting so much protein in my hair.
I really hit that button because of your energy 😂💜
You kicked so much knowledge and Confirmed why my hair grew out so well for me several years ago. Gotta get back to this routine. Thank you Sis!!🥰
I LOVE this thank you!!!!! Because my type 3 frizzy fine, LOW porosity hair does NOT like cold water! Twenty something years ago even a dresser misinformed me about the cold water deal and didn't "get" how different my curly hair is SO different from her daughter's curly hair, hence NEVER left my hair anything but dull and styled incorrectly. Heat = good for my hair when it comes to conditioning for sure!
yess!! as soon as I started putting leave in, in the shower it dramatically changed my hair routine!
Can't wait to start doing this!
I didn’t follow these the years after my big chop, didn’t even know I was low porosity until about a year ago. BUT I just did another one and will be following these now! Thank you🙏🏾😭🥰
I’m new to the channel and This video helped understand full my hair type
Totally agree about the LCO method. Tried the LOC…just no. Thanks for the video!!
Just came across this video thru search, and used every tip. I've been struggling with my5 yr olds hair for about 3 yes since her texture changed. She is low porosity and super high density. Just washed her hair last night and used the green house method.. game changer. Thank you very much!
Girrlll I've been doing everything wrong. Thats why I never really had a successful wash day. Always struggled with trying to get moisture in my hair. I'm definitely going to follow these steps. Thankyou sis!!!!!💖
I’m taking notes sis and gonna try your tips tonight cause CHILE, I’m ready for my hair to look good 😂
update us sis
@@chickwitthagoodies fr
Omg! I just found out that my hair is low porosity. Needless to say, I've been doing everything wrong. I was about to do another big chop. Until I came across your video. I can't thank you enough for all your tips. I've been abusing my hair for years😭
Okay, sis!!! I tried the leave-in while in the shower. It did work. Thank you about the not rinsing with cold water. And, I’ve started using avocado and jojoba oil. Dee Dee (my hair) loves those oils.
Oh wow, im so glad I watched, ppl were telling me to use cold water only
Everyone's hair is different and what worked for you might not work for me and vice versa.. My hair is long and prone to tangles so doing LOC somehow made it less tangled and my hair stays moistured and soft even for a full week. A stylist mentioned that using light products penetrants to low porosity hair better and I found that to be true my hair suck in the products and stays moistured so much better with light weight products the lighter the better and it doesn't do well with creams and specially butters my hair hates butters, it does well with lighter oils like almond and argan oil
1. clarifiying shampoo
2. deep condition with heat (warm conditioner in hot water before hand/apply conditioner to warm hair/plastic cap)
3. lco
4. not too much protein? (silk/hydrolzed/wheat are good)
5. warm water
6. stay away from thick heavy products???
7. stay away from protein treatments?
8. work on damp not wet hair
eextra:
use a deep conditioner not a conditioner,
moisturizing cream on top of leave in?
continue doing split sections
never style on dry hair
put a shower cap after doing leave in until ready to style
Jamaican black castor oil, Aloe Vera, cling film, Indian clay, cantu creamy shampoo, cantu deep treatment or deep conditioning masque must have heat, drink plenty of water, biotin drops, Indian clay use warm water or apple cider vinegar, these are the stuff I use but not all in one go, I have to wash my hair in warm to slightly hot. You can buy all those products online or buy them in hair shop stores. Low porosity you need time patience, meditate massage and pray for your hair. Thank you I’ve been looking for a low porosity natural hair for ages subs straight away. Take care on all your hair journeys, God bless 🙏🏽❤️😍
God has just been leading me to great hair care black women on UA-cam!!! I am most definitely subscribing and recommending you to my friends. Won’t He do it 💃🏿
Thanks for revisiting this topic. I have started applying my leave-in in the shower and it has a made a such a big difference in moisture in my hair. Also I have been using the LCO method and that has definitely been a game changer.
thanks for watching sis! im happy these tips have helped you in some way!
@@CurlieCrys can I use lighter leave in lotion instead of leave in spray?
Girl!!! My hair has been dry because of coloring from the past and after I watched your video I tried the LCO method and it’s been about 6 hours since I did it, my hair is stilllllll moisturized!!
I did the leave in tip this past weekend without knowing, and I was able to use much less leave in. Mine foams on wet hair so a little went a long way and no more coated feeling bc I'm using too much! Abt the LOC comment: People rarely use water for their liquid, so doesn't the leave in have ingredients to seal in the water by itself. Most good ones are made to coat and lubricate the strand, no? So the oil is just an extra layer to what is already "sealed". And why is it necessary to style on wet hair if the moisture is already sealed in?? I'm not too interested in the mechanics of everything but had these thoughts as you were sharing. Great tips!
This is going to be game-changing for me and my hair! Thank you!!! Can't wait to follow all these tips.
I have low porosity just found out recently when I was trying to figure out my hair type. Thank you so much for these tips!
I really have to say your skin is literally beautiful and radiating !!! Omg thank you for this video as well ! Very very informative
The LOC method can work if you're using an oil that isn't a sealant. All oils aren't sealants. Some can penetrate the hair itself. The LOC method is wrong due to the oils people are using . Plus the LOC method requires an extra step at the end if it's being done right. I personally use the LCO method.
The day you woke up and decided to record this you had to say Toni need this yep I did thanks sooooooo much boo 😘😘😘😘😘
I'm learning Crys, I just figured out to make sure my hair is soaking wet throughout my wash day routine, my hair would be wet but not soaking wet, it makes a difference, good tips 🥰
yes, that will make a difference! thanks for watching sis!
Great video! I follow all of these tips religiously except for the oil sealing at the end. Depending on the products I'm using my hair doesn't need it but for someone trying to figure out their regimen I think this is a good foundation
Crys, Just subscribed. I agree -The LCO method and the warm water wash/rinse and apply in shower leave-in and seal with oil is the absolute best 4 my low porosity hair.😊
I have just realized that I am low porosity and have been implementing your tips!! Thank you!!!
I actually don't use oils on a consistent basis but when I do 95% of the time it is after all of my other products and most times I don't even put oil on my wet hair. The only oil I've consistently used on my wet hair and even before my cream is the melanin Haircare oil which is super nourishing
CrysGang!!!💜🙋🏾♀️ Yess I'm here taking notes!!📝👍🏾✔📝 Yes I used that leave in Tip and Baby My hair has loved me ever since!!
yas! thanks for sharing sis
Thank you for all your tips. I have been doing some of the dont’s so I’m anxious to try your tips. You explained everything very well with
