If you’ve ever struggled with dry, brittle, or breaking hair, you’re not alone! Moisture is the key to strong, healthy, and thriving hair. Whether you have loose curls, locs, braids, or silk-pressed hair, keeping your strands hydrated is essential.
At Roots & Glow, I help my clients find the best moisture routine for their hair type. In this post, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about hydration so your hair can thrive!
1. Hydrate from the Inside Out
Your hair’s moisture starts with your body’s hydration levels.
✔️ Drink plenty of water—your hair needs it just like your skin does!
✔️ Eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges.
✔️ Add omega-3s and biotin to your diet for stronger, more hydrated strands.
2. Choose the Right Moisturizers for Your Hair Type
Not all products are created equal! Depending on your hair type, you may need different hydration techniques.
✨ Loose Natural Hair: Water-based leave-in conditioners + sealing oils (argan, castor, jojoba)
✨ Locs: Lightweight rose water + aloe vera spray (avoid heavy creams!)
✨ Protective Styles: Light scalp oil (tea tree, sweet almond) to prevent dryness
✨ Silk Pressed Hair: Humidity-blocking serums + deep conditioning treatments
💡 Pro Tip: Hydration is a daily practice! Your hair will thank you for it.
3. The L.O.C. Method vs. The L.C.O. Method
If you’ve heard of these methods but aren’t sure which is right for you, here’s a breakdown:
✔️ L.O.C. (Liquid, Oil, Cream) → Best for high-porosity hair that loses moisture quickly.
✔️ L.C.O. (Liquid, Cream, Oil) → Best for low-porosity hair that needs lightweight layering.
💡 Pro Tip: Not sure what your hair needs? Schedule a hair consultation and I’ll help create a moisture plan tailored to your hair type!
4. Deep Condition Regularly
Deep conditioning revives dry hair, strengthens strands, and locks in hydration.
✔️ For natural hair & silk presses: Deep condition biweekly for best results.
✔️ For locs: Use a lightweight hydrating mask every 4-6 weeks.
✔️ For protective styles: Deep condition before and after installation to maintain moisture.
5. Book a Professional Hair Health Treatment
Sometimes, your hair needs an extra boost of hydration beyond at-home care. A professional treatment can revitalize dry, brittle strands and replenish lost moisture.
