I think I currently use some form of this method. I'm low/medium porosity so moisture penetration is problematic for me. When in protective styles and I need to re-moisturize I first spray my hair (and scalp) with my water/leave in mix, oil my scalp, then seal my strands with a heavy oil (currently using Jamaican black castor oil).

Depending on how parch my hair, I may add a water-based moisturizer to my strands before I seal with JBCO. I finish off with a shower. The steam from the shower appears to wake up my scalp. I do this routine every 4 days until wash day. No itching, build up or tangling so far!

Side note: I used to add moisturizers and butters to both my scalp and hair. My scalp would have major build up in just a few days and itch like crazy. I switched to just water and oil for my scalp and it was a game changer.

Well yes those products should not go on your scalp. Also it doesn't sound like you do this method at all. She said penetrating oils first

Penetrating oil specific to pre-poos. I am not washing my hair everyday.

LOC -- liquid, oil, cream (water-based)
LCO -- liquid, cream (water-based), (protecting) oil
PMP -- penetrating oil (wash day), moisture (water-based), protecting oil

So, I'm having a hard time understanding how PMP is different than pre-pooing on wash day and then doing LCO?
