low porosity 4C hair got you stressed? let’s fix that.
listen, fren. if moisture slides off your 4C hair like water on a raincoat, you’re dealing with low-porosity strands.
and we know the struggle. you deep condition, you moisturize, you seal… and somehow, your hair still acts like it’s in a drought.
but here’s the thing—your hair isn’t thirsty. it’s just hardheaded.
those cuticles are laying flatter than a fresh silk press, making it nearly impossible for moisture to get in. but don’t trip.
with the right moves, we’re gonna get your hair to actually drink up and hold onto that hydration. let’s get into it.

1. heat is your bestie. use it.
trying to moisturize low-porosity hair without heat is like knocking on a locked door and expecting it to swing open. not gonna happen.
so let’s warm things up:
steam your hair before applying leave-ins or deep conditioners. handheld steamers? life-changing.
warm up your deep conditioner before applying—it helps it absorb better.
trap heat with a shower cap or plastic bag when deep conditioning. this keeps those cuticles open and ready to receive.

2. water-based products or bust.
oils and butters sitting on top of dry hair like unwanted guests? yeah, we don’t do that here.
if moisture is the goal, water needs to be the first ingredient.
but let’s be real—lightweight, watery formulas?
they disappear faster than your edges after a too-tight braid install. not over here, fren.
all our products are water-based, but built thicker—because coarse 4C hair needs moisture that lasts. you won’t have to keep reapplying every five seconds.
humectants like glycerin & honey pull moisture into your strands and keep it there.
aloe vera juice or rose water? great for hydration, but let’s take it up a notch.
our Refresher Spray is that in-between wash day savior—formulated with aloe, rose extract, and green tea extract to bring your hair back to life without the buildup.
juicier than your average mist, but still lightweight enough to absorb right in.
packed with aloe, rose extract, and green tea extract, it adds moisture between wash days without the buildup.
plus, that signature peachy-apricot scent? yeah, your kinks are about to smell good good.

3. LCO > LOC. period.
we’re layering products the right way over here. for low-porosity 4C hair, LCO (Liquid, Cream, Oil) beats LOC every time.
locking in moisture is the goal, and the Too Easy Collection was built to do exactly that—without the fuss.
let’s break it down:
L (Liquid) → Too Soft™ Leave-In Conditioner
start with a water-based leave-in that actually penetrates.
Too Soft™ Leave-In Conditioner is thick enough to coat your strands but absorbs right in—so your kinks stay hydrated, not just wet.
C (Cream) → Too Slick™ Styling Cream
once that moisture is in, we’re sealing the deal with a rich styling cream.
Too Slick™ Styling Cream keeps your hair soft, defined, and moisturized for days—without weighing it down.
O (Oil) → Too Soothing Mint Serum
need a scalp refresh and some extra shine? Too Soothing Mint Serum is out here in these 4C streets.
this peppermint-infused oil stimulates the scalp, promotes growth, and adds a lightweight seal to lock in moisture—without clogging up your kinks.
pro tip: apply directly to the scalp with the dropper and massage in with your fingertips. use as often as needed, but make sure to shampoo regularly to prevent buildup.
coconut oil? nah.
it just sits on top, blocking moisture instead of sealing it in.
let’s do better, fren.
the Too Easy Collection makes layering effortless:
Too Clean™ Shampoo clears buildup so moisture can actually get in.
Too Thicke™ Deep Conditioner softens, detangles, and preps your strands.
Too Soft™ Leave-In Conditioner locks in hydration.
Too Slick™ Styling Cream seals in moisture and gives you long-lasting definition.
Too Soothing Mint Serum keeps your scalp happy and your kinks shining.
this is wash day, your way. hydrated, soft, poppin’ kinks—every time.
4. buildup is blocking your blessings. clarify.
if your products aren’t hitting like they used to, buildup is probably the problem.
low-porosity hair collects product fast, making moisture absorption even harder.
use a gentle clarifying shampoo once a month to reset.
try an apple cider vinegar rinse to break through buildup.
clean hair = better moisture retention. don’t skip this step.
5. protect your moisture overnight.
listen, if you’re waking up with dry hair, the moisture you worked so hard for is literally disappearing in your sleep.
let’s fix that.
sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet—friction is not your friend.
pineapple or braid your hair loosely to help it retain moisture.
refresh with a light mist of water from an infinity spray bottle or Refresher Spray.

final thoughts: work smarter, not harder.
low-porosity 4C hair isn’t impossible to keep moisturized—you just have to move strategically.
use heat to open up the cuticles.
stick to water-based products.
LCO method for the win.
clarify monthly to avoid buildup.
lock in moisture overnight.
your hair can hold moisture. you just need the right technique.
wanna deep condition without the struggle?
Too Thicke Deep Conditioner actually gets inside the strand instead of just sitting on top.
your low-porosity hair will thank you.
