How To Keep Type 4 Hair Moisturized ALL WEEK | Simple and Cheap
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2024
- How to keep type 4 hair moisturized all week? That is the biggest question for many naturals to date. The best technique for me has been layering. As of this video, I was using the LOC method to moisturize my hair. Meaning, in a previous step I included oil before this cream application step. So far this method has worked for me, but I feel like experimenting to see if another technique or group of products will help me reach longer hair length goals. Again, this routine has worked for the past 10 years - even after my last big chop 3 1/2 years ago. But what’s the harm in exploring? I take your suggestions seriously, so I’ll be sure to keep you updated on any hair regimen changes that I do in the future. I’ve already began. :)

How often do you this moisture routine? When you’ve taken our you protective style! Your hair is beautiful it’s the closest texture to my partners I’ve found! Xx
Twice a week if needed, but usually life takes over and I do it once. A lot of it is feeling my hair and deciding if I need more water or more product. Sometimes simply spraying with water and retwisting is all my hair needs. I wash my hair two or three times a month now that my scalp is under control...Thank you! I’m happy to help. 💜
Subscribed!!!
Have you ever tried curlmix?
No I haven’t. Sorry!
Thank you! My daughter has 4c hair and I'm scared to manipulate it more than once a week but now that I see that you do this at least 2x a week and your hair is thriving gives me relief. I spritz her hair with water, put a leave in, and coat with coconut oil but the next day it'll look as if I put nothing in it!
The way I know someone's hair is 4c is when it looks like a really soft cloud...I love how 4c hair looks
☺️
My favorite hair type is 4C I wish I had it tbh
🧡
@Sassy Queen I literally have break downs doing my hair on wash day 😭
Same it’s just so pleasing to the eye and so bouncy. God has truly made all of His works well 💕
When spritzing your hair, using it warm water will penetrate the faster and beter😊
Excellent point!!
Thank you
WE 👏🏽 NEED 👏🏽 MORE 👏🏽 4C 👏🏽 TH-cam 👏🏽 channels 👏🏽 like 👏🏽 this!!!
Ur hair looks very full and healthy. Clearly you know what you’re doing!!! ✊🏾🔥
❤️ Thank you, love! I appreciate you leaving such a sweet comment.
I stopped doing the LOC method. I had been doing that for years but I started using hair grease as a sealant and my hair stays moisturize all week! I absolutely love it and it's been working so well for my hair.
It's always interesting to see what everyone's regimen is like.
Same here. The combination was to much product going onto my freshly cleansed hair.
I'm toying with the idea of using grease as my final step but not tried it yet!
Same. It was a waste product and time. Just curling cream and castor oil on mt scalp....my 4c is never dry.
🤔 Hair grease. Who knew? 🤷🏽♀️ 👍🏽
@@missmb4798 lol
Finally! A REAL 4c. Thank you for this video...Kindred Spirit!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
LaToya Ebony love youuu ur so happy and no fake accent you give me mom vibes..if u r a mom you’d be a great and understanding mom
Exactly!
Can I just say that I really appreciate you. You've been on TH-cam for like over 7 years and I want to thank you for being here and sharing your hair/lifestyle videos with us. I feel like I'm far from understanding my natural hair but your videos have helped me. Much love
🥺 What a sweet thing to say...seriously. I’ve been making videos since 2010 and this is my third channel. No one has ever put it that way. You are so very welcome. Thank you. 🥰
@@LaToyaEbonyHair
I agree with her. You’re the reason I started a routine to grow my hair. It’s shoulder length now from a TWA in 2021.
"Strictly for moisture..." I felt that! I have high dense, coarse curls. You wouldn't believe the amount of product I need to detangle my tresses with before styling.
Omg!!!I finally found a youtuber with hair texture like mine..... everything you said your hair does, mine does the same. Oooo and the tender middle......bless it Jesus 🙏🏾😁💯my goal is nipple length also lol. Right now it's at my chin😎🇬🇾💯
That tender spot! 😩 Yes, bless it!! 😂 So happy you found my channel! ❤️❤️
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I have the same issue with soreness in my crown! What is that about? Why?I don't get it!
@@valentined9536 Could it be because of top ponytails or buns? I used to have a tender crown but haven't lately. That's the only thing, I think, that I've been doing differently.
Love the size of your twists. The longer my hair gets, I am noticing I try to twist bigger since my strands are thin and I have low to medium density hair, extremely fragile. I have had to come to terms time and time again that my hair responds better when left alone as much as possible.
Moisturised hair is beautiful, regardless of hair type!
When I returned natural, I used the LOC method but I noticed it didn't leave my hair moisturize for long. Then I switched to the LCO method and I must say it has really improved my moisture game. My hair retains moisture more than ever before. But I do well to seal my ends properly with my DIY hair butter and Oil. And my DIY leave in cobditiiner (flaxseed and Aloe vera ) has been great. I love your hair, it's so beautiful and healthy.
Thank you for leaving such a helpful comment. I’ve recently been experimenting with LCO method. Scientifically it makes more sense, but I’ve also seen great success with the LOC method too. I’ll keep you all updated.
Can I ask how do you make your leave in? I just start experimenting with flaxseed gel as a leave in and I love it so far but still trying to tweak it! Thanks in advance
Afroliciousmuna okezie what is LOC and LCO?
@@sonianasher LCO - Liquid (Usually water from a spray bottle), Cream/Conditioner (Leave in), and Oil (any oil of your choice).
LOC - Liquid, Oil and Cream/ Conditioner.
Afroliciousmuna okezie omg I literally decided to loc instead of loc today after washing and omg my hair felt great 😭 I was getting lied to by "logic"
I 100% thought you were the actress from smart guy so I googled you only to realize that I was thinking of Essence Atkins. The resemblance is uncanny IMO.
Thank you Moya! I get that a lot. 🥰
Twins!!!!
I was really trying to remember her name! Spot on🙌🏾
I thought that was her too
Finally found someone who has my actual hair type lol! Automatically subbed. I find it so hard to find other 4c, fine strand, low density, low porosity hair people to get tips from.
Starpuppy
Is anyone gonna point out how gentle she is with her hair? Ok just me then🤷🏽♀️.....love the way she does her hair.
❤️🙏🏾
No seriously, how do you have any thumbs down on this video?? TH-cam needs to come up with a requirement that if you intentionally thumbs down a video, you need to enter an explanation. This video was so informational, I am SHOCKED😂.
😂😂😂 Thank you sweetie
Oh my goodness! How have I not encountered this beautiful smart quirky unique kindred of mine before! Come on TH-cam!! Subscribing!
Aaawwww Shhhh! TH-cam is actually matching personality profiles now?!! Come thru TH-cam, come thruuuu! 😂 Welcome to the fam Randi! 💙
Fine hair girl checking in. 🙋🏾♀️. Thank you for this video. Hair is so dry and I am trying to rediscover what my hair wants. It’s great to see another natural with fine hair and long lengths. So many setbacks for me. You give me hope!
I love your calm yet jovial energy, you’re beautiful in so many different ways!
HEEEEEY 👋🏾 NOTIFICATION GANG! Okay, this video is a chill vibe. So grab a cup of ☕️ or watch while moisturizing your own hair.
SIDE NOTE: This is the routine that has drastically grown my hair after two big chops over the past 10 YEARS!! I’m actively experimenting with my hair regimen products/routine, so this video is not as much about the “products”, but the steps I’ve taken. I take your suggestions seriously, so I figured, why not try something new? I’ll definitely keep you updated on any regimen changes. 🎉 So excited so many new faces are here!!
yes girl! keeping this natural hair moisturized is a task! especially since i am washing it more often due to working at the hospital. I appreciate this! stay blessed!
Hospital? Wow, thank you for your service. ❤️
@@LaToyaEbonyHair 🥰🙌💕
"I need to get my husband to come in and just pull my hair down for me." Don't we all. 🤣
LMAO SIS! Hilarious but true.
The way I saw this comment just as she said that had me SHOOK af
Not sure if anyone has said this but your eye shape reminds me of Diana Ross or Michael or Janet. Very beautiful and soulful!
Oh wow 😳 Thank you! 🥰
I have fine, thick hair, and as I'm *cough* getting older and getting greys (which seem to be more brittle!) the breakage struggle is real. I love your twists!
maybe try deep conditioning more often? idk 😅 good luck
Loving your informative realness! Finally someone who talks about the fine, thinner than a thread 4 abc hair! I’ve worn my hair natural before TH-cam had videos 😊🤪 and I continue to learn so much.
Thanks for renewing my love of my 4C hair in its most natural state by modeling it in every stage good, beautiful, stretchy, bouncy bad, broken edges, stiff and ugly (super 7 day old dry)...in all its glory in a fair, thorough and humorous way...so glad I discovered your channel. Now I can stop feeling as if I have to get my hair braided to have a style worthy of the office or any professional setting. I have worn my hair natural most of my life but never felt beautiful in the eyes of others so usually cover it up.
So relaxing and satisfying to watch. Thank you! 💜
Omg it was so satisfying just watching you do that simple moisturizing routine🤞💕... I'm so use to most natural hair TH-camrs using a million creams n butters to do a simple routine...
Xoxo
I honestly love keeping it simple. It’s works the absolute best for me. I really only try new things for experimentation. Lol! Thank you for watching and leaving a sweet comment. 💙
This is a great video Latoya! Good to see you back
I'm so happy. I've found someone with my kind of hair.
🤗 #hairtwins
Latoya, you are gorgeous! I love 💕 the energy I get from your vlog. You should never stop smiling because not only is it contagious, but beautiful! Thanks for the content!
Hey, new to your channel. I too am a type 4 girl with low porosity, medium to high density fine strands of hair, and I absolutely love when I come across someone with a kinkier texture as myself to possibly learn from, Thanks for sharing!
A while back a naturalista on a vid I was watching said find the person that has the hair closest to your hair and watch her. I have finally found you. What's up sis! Love the videos.
I love the hairstyle you wore at the beginning of this video, hairband and all! Please do a tutorial.
New to your channel and I must say, Thank God, Finally! 4c hair care! Very informative video. BTW, you resemble Tia & Tamera Mowry.
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much!!
What I'm so impressed with, is that you're not raking through dry hair with a comb. You're not taking forever and being too soft, yet you're treating it with love. Thank you so much for the helpful tips.
I love the knowledge you give..and your delivery...your hair is beautiful..and I too will pray you get your house..Gods Blessings on You
Thank you so much for showing the areas you have breakage. I too have breakage in the front/ temple area of my hair. And thank you for saying that one night of a bad decision can lead to months of recovery. I will continue to be patient on my hair recovery journey. Great video through and through.
Love how detailed you are you explain things in a easy manner and I love it...I need more moisture so i will be doing this more often
I am watching this video to learn more about my hair. I have been natural for 6 years and my hair is not growing at all. But when you looked up and heard your neighbors... girl I felt that!! I just got new neighbors upstairs and the first few days..... I was ready to move out completely!!! They have calmed down ALOT since then!!
Gorgeous hair! Having reached that time of life when I'm experiencing my "own personal summer" on a regular basis, sleeping in satin scarves and bonnets is almost impossible! My head is a sweaty mess! I'd love to know what some of us more mature ladies do to protect their hair when this is the case.
I would suggest a satin pillow case.
When you said “They are always moving furniture”, I had flash backs to when I lived in Cali. Like WTF are you doing! Sit down! 😭
😂😂
@@LaToyaEbonyHair mine is always dropping stuff... Or skipping rope.
I'm watching this thinking 'why come' when I search for natural hair care, have I not found you?!! Like YT what are y'all doin over there??? Look. LOOK! This is the content I need. Great tips, amazing personality.
🥰 That’s one of the best compliments I could get. 💜💜💜
Those twists are so juicy. Nice to see you back on YT.
Thank you! I’m happy to be back 🤗
Loved this video, I loved when you said you like to keep it simple. I'm with you. 😁👍🏾
🙌🏾 “Keep it simple sista” remember that? (I’m an OG youtuber Lol)
@@LaToyaEbonyHair A beautiful one too. 😃
All of the products you mentioned in this video...I have all of it! I had no idea how to use it! Thank you! Misting and twisting now! 😍😘
Your voice is so soothing!
Hey. I know very fine hair. It's the reason I went natural in 2007. I wish I had you n other ladies then. I know my hair would be on back of my knees. But I do have my very very fine hair to my collar bone. Take care Latoya!! Keep up the great video work.
You be there in no time. Just keep your patience and intention/actions on healthy hair and the length will come. I know you know this already. I’m excited for you! 🙌🏾
4C Hair is the basis of all the other Types: 4B to 1A! And it's the most authentic and BEAUTIFUL.🌹💐😘
I just found you two days ago. I’m learning a lot. I haven’t been to the salon since pre Covid.
This video was recommended so glad it was because my 4c hair stay so dry.
Your hair is gorgeous 😍!!!!
Best video that I've found so far. I can't wait to start this for my hair. Thank you girl.
Loving your hair and your moisture routine. I do the same a few times a week and my hair is growing and retaining length like crazy
YAAAAASSS!! 👏🏾 Get that LENGTH! It’s so great because it’s so SIMPLE. I’m happy your hair is thriving in these streets. 💜
This helped so much 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, Im really trying to embrace my hair texture more and your videos are so helpful and detailed
I’m so happy to help!!
Love that you spray water on your hair, water is our hair best friend especially 4c type
Yes it is! 🙌🏾
I used to watch you years ago. I remember a video you did when you had a TWA and worked in a department store. A customer belittled you about your hair and how sad you were. Well look at you now! 👏🏾👍🏾💖🙋🏾♀️💃🏾
Yes Angela, we have come a looooooong way. I remember that like it was yesterday...Welcome back to my channel!!! ❤️❤️
Always the best content here!!! Love 💕 going back checking these older videos out … my my your hair has grown so much and looks even more beautiful 😍
I have no idea how your video popped up in a notification for me but I'm glad it did! My daughter has 4c hair and really dry scalp and I've searched high and low for a good shampoo for her. I will definitely try out the Nizoral shampoo you suggested!
Oh Nizoral has worked WONDERS for me. It’s drying to the hair, so have her deep condition too. I hope it works for her too!
🥰🥰 finally found someone with my exact hair ... love it .. our hair is about the exact length . Jus my hair is thick .
Excellent video, 🥰👍🏽your hair is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the tips. 🌿💜🌿
Oh my goodness girl. You are a breath of fresh air. I'm in El Paso....super duper dry out here. My 4 babies and I are trying to get it together out here.
thank you so much for these videos! I haven't found anyone on youtube who has phrased 4c fine hair the way you have. Thank you for talking about reality vs youtube video results! This has always been a frustrating topic!
Girl , you're hilarious. Subscribed! I've been slipping on the moisture maintenance. I mist, do whatever oil treatments, and go to sleep lol. I need to get back to doing this more often with a little finger detangling. It makes wash day, or even a quick deep conditioning treatment easier.
This by far has been the best relatable natural hair video I've seen 👍
I almost cried over how juicy your twists looked
Hi Latoya... I really like your video... and I also love your humor/energy
Thank you for your videos, I’m a new subscriber and I appreciate your honesty and thoroughness. All the way from 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You are so welcome Victoria!! 🙌🏾❤️
I Subscribed, Liked, and did Notification bell. You're very pretty. I, too, have different textures in the front (4b) and back (4c), and I am low porosity. I'm also tender-headed. I truly understand the struggle.
Hello LaToya, I just came across one of your videos today. I quickly subscribed and searched until I came across this video. I have been searching for quite some time on how to moisturize my natural hair. I like what I see and hear in your video therefore I am going to give it a try. My hair needs moisture desperately!!! Thank you so much for the information!!!! Stay well!!!
💕💕💕
I dont have enough hair to do this yet, but I enjoyed watching.
Plus I'm in Colorado, the western dryness is real!!
😊💜 Thanks for the support
Your texture is gorgeous, Sis!
Thank you so much!!
10:25 my daughter has a whole head of very fine hair. 😢 I’ve learned that’s it’s best to detangle her hair while DRY, and with a good boar brush and THEN a comb. Brush, then comb to see if all the range are out. Fine hair is something else!
My hair is like this as well- low porosity (means the hair is more resistant to receiving water and moisture due to the hair cuticles in the strands being tight). My hair is also thick so I need A LOT more product to thoroughly moisturize my hair. I’ve been making my own DIY products out of aloe Vera, Shea butter, flax seeds and adding essential oils such as rosemary, peppermint, tea tree and black castor oils which I researched have been proven to maintain, moisturize and stimulate hair growth.
I’ve documented how I make and use these natural remedies on my own TH-cam channel and am glad to see a fellow TH-camr with hair EXACTLY like mine succeed in their hair journey!
Enjoyed your presentation. Very informative.
Love your energy. I subscribed immediately. Now I will binge watch your other videos. 😂
Wow! you've given me hope. I have super fine hair and I just gave up on length because after it grows to shoulder length it tangles so badly and breaks. Guess Ill try the nighttime moisture technique and see what happens. Thanks.
This is my routine as well. I think you have full hair. It's really healthy and pretty.
Idk if I’m tripping but you remind me of Essence Atkins
I get that a lot lol!
You talk alot... but I love it! I am going to follow you because out of all the natural hair videos I have watched I believe you have explained what is going on with my natural 4c hair. Love you too Sweetie! Thank you!
I enjoyed watching your video. It is nice to know that the struggle is real and what things you can do. I have low porosity hair with multiple curl patterns...
Hey! I’m new to your channel. I appreciate that you have actual 4C hair. I love my 4C hair, I also have some 4a and 4b strands in the mix. Also.....short hair? Where? 😄. I also have the same issue with my upstairs neighbors....they are noisy and move this all the time! 😤
Wow! I have fine hair in the front as well 😳 Thanks for those tips because I always saturate the front. Happy Mother’s Day! 🙏🏽
Those twist look so healthy and juicy, thank you for your content !
You can make a whipped butter with Shea butter jojoba coconut and other oils for your sealing . That way you do not have to give up any of the oils.
That part where you tried to separate a section in the front and it curled into a knot immediately is my constant struggle 😫 My hair is bra strap length, but with the way it be trying to tangle idk. Love the content!
Just started my journey since Covid19 and I'm looking forward to nice, long and healthy hair like yours. I did my very first Black Rice Water today and I'll be watching to see the outcome. Wish me luck🙏
So many great ideas!! I do not have hair as curly as yours, heck, it used to be nearly straight. Then kids and hormones happened and now I have these kinky coily curls that I've spent years trying to figure out what the heck to do with! It's only been in the past few years that I realized the importance of moisturizing and protective styles, thanks to videos like yours!
Hey! yes the satin or silk scarf helps keep moisture in your hair. I use a scarf and a satin pillowcase in case the scarf slips. Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
I just recently big chopped and girl, your videos give me hope! I can't get down with these other youtubers who spend HOURS styling their hair daily, i'm loving your simple and straight forward methods. Your youtube channel is gold, thank you for showing the world the beauty and versatility of 4c hair.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾 You’re so very welcome. 😊
This video is just what I needed in my life right now. Thanks.
Helpful in 2024….transitioned from relaxed hair and been fully natural 10years now but want to hair growth past my shoulders. Thank you as I have different textures. 🙈
I am on a hair journey. Two different textures and fine. You helped me. Thanks
I love how full and thick your hair is 💗 your hair texture is EXACTLY like mine. what has been working for my is aloe Vera juice mixed with lavender and peppermint essential oils. I’ll be grabbing a bottle of jojoba oil and see how it treats me. Great video! 👍🏿
I used to use Aloe Vera juice too! It has a lot of benefits. 🤔 Now you’ve got me thinking about it again. Lol
I’m so annoyed that TH-cam has been hiding you from me! New subbie!
❤️❤️❤️
This is great knowledge. Thanks for sharing your hair wisdom.
I loveeee Knot on my watch! Great Slip!
I'm going to have to go back and see how you did that updo. That is everything, for ease as well as look and longevity!
I don’t have a tutorial yet. 🙈
I noticed washing weekly and having a week long protective style is better on my hair then a month long 1 and my scalp dont itch. Washing is so relaxing. I also layer with water cream and a lil shea butter
A bit off topic but...Yes!! I get it! My new neighbors are always always moving furniture! So much noise, like why? What are you doing!??! It's so random too, sometimes they even cut into my meditation or studying time.
😩 lol
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Omg Hi!! 🤗 Your hair is lovely let's both keep up the good work for healthy hair!! ☺️
