Afrocenchix
Our Take
A water-based moisturising cream built on Afrocenchix's signature fair-trade organic shea butter from Ghana. This is the cream (C) step in the LOC or LCO method — applied to seal in moisture after your liquid step. The shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil combination provides serious softness and conditioning without silicones. Works particularly well on 3a–4c hair where dryness and breakage are ongoing concerns. Apply to damp hair after conditioning, or to dry hair on non-wash days to replenish moisture. Pairs with Sheen and Seal for the full LOC routine. Protein-free. The olive-derived emulsifier (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate) gives a smoother, less greasy finish than petroleum-based alternatives.

How to Use
Apply Smooth to damp hair after conditioning as the cream (C) step in the LOC or LCO method. Massage through hair strands while finger-detangling, then style as desired. Follow with Seal to lock in moisture. For daily use on dry hair, focus on the ends. For twist-outs, apply a pea-sized amount per section before twisting.
