A commonly asked question is “How do I take care of my hair when waving?” The answer to that is through the acronym M.O.B. The M stands for moisturizer, the O stands for Oil, and the B stands for butter. As with many other acronyms the MOB method allows for moisture to be added to the hair then sealed in with the oils and butter. This method should be done no more than two times per week. The purpose of the MOB method is to add back in moisture lost to the environment and after washing your hair.
Step 1 – Dampen hair. This can be done with a hot towel that has been rung out to open the pores.
Step 2 – Comb out hair the same way you would brush your hair.
Step 3
– Add your selected (M) moisturizer and brush into hair.
Step 4 – Add in your (O) oils and brush into hair.
Step 5 – Add your (B) butter and brush into hair with desired wave pattern.
Step 6 – Rag up!
After completing your MOB method your hair should be soft, moisturized, and laid to perfection. Feel free to move around products as you see fit as it is your hair and you are in full control. The more natural products you add to your routine the better the result will be. If you are pomade user look for a natural pomade infused with oils and butters such as our Wavetamer. This will save you time when applying the MOB method and make it the MP method.
