L.O.C Method

   If you've been moisturizing your hair and then the next day, maybe even a couple of hours later, your hair is dry, it's time to reevaluate your method. Natural hair is especially dry and moisture retention could become regular problem if you don’t know what you're doing. The L.O.C method is a good way to combat that.

   L.O.C stands for leave-in conditioner, Oil, and Cream. It is very crucial that these are done in this order. This method of moisturizing has become popular amongst the natural hair care community because it has allowed many to go longer periods of time without having to moisturize their hair as frequently. It works by allowing the moisture to be placed on the hair first and then sealed with an oil and (butter-based) cream. Butters and oils are known for their ability to lock in moisture, which is why they call it the L.O.C Method, get it?

(Water based leave-in, avocado oil, and DIY Shea butter mix)

This specific method is easy and can be done with ingredients you may already have laying around your house. Look below to see how this is done.

HOW TO DO THE L.O.C METHOD:

Step 1: Apply a water-based leave in (you can also use water)

Step 2: Apply an oil of your choice to your hair (I find that coconut works best for me)

Step 3: Apply a butter-based cream cream to your hair, to seal in all of that moisture that you applied prior to this step.

Step 4: Style as desired!

   This in an effective way, which I have personally tried. Being that I have lots of hair and it takes a long time to moisturize, the fact that I don’t have to do it as frequently is definitely worth it!
