5 techniques to protect your kinky hair at night
Finding your hair routine is great, but protecting your hair at night will be beneficial to the overall health of your kinky hair! This is because moisture evaporates or is absorbed by the tissues throughout the night. We give you our best tips:
1. Moisturising and nourishing
Giving your hair food and water is the first tip. With the LOC et LCO, methods, your hair will get the moisture and nutrition it needs. The LOC method works like this:
- L is for leave-in: Moisturize the hair with a leave-in such as our Kurl Nectar for example, or a milk like one of our Smoothies**
- O is for oil: Seal in this hydration with an oil or an oil concentrate like our Sérum Croissance*
- C is for cream : Close the cuticles with a cream such as Magic Twist nourishing buttercream Magic Twist
In the LCO method, we simply reverse step 2 with step 3 to finish sealing in the moisture.This way, you can lock moisture into your hair fiber all day and retain the benefits of your routines.
2. Detangling before going to sleep
