    Hey girl, have you tried doing the LCO method instead of LOC? I had the same exact issue w/ moisture leaving my hair so quickly & couldn't understand why (my hair is v. similar to yours; 4b, same length, moderately dense)... I switched the order of products and it changed the whole game for me lol. Since the O you use is a mix of sealing oils (almond & castor are so thick), maybe doing the cream first then the oil will help lock in that moisture!

    • @AuntieSenSen
      @AuntieSenSen 7 років тому +52

      Gabrielle Artis I have found that the LCO method works best for me too

    • @LynLvs2Laugh
      @LynLvs2Laugh 7 років тому +18

      TheNotoriousKIA Try this combo: really LOCG, Water is the first liquid. I can't manipulate my hair without it. O is any oil of choice. I switch this up but my favorite is the scalp oil mix by Mizzini. It's expensive but you will see the difference. The C is my leave in moisturizer, normally Giovanni's Direct Leave In or Shea Moisture's castor oil leave in moisturizer. Both are creamy and I smooth them in well. I follow that with my gel normally eco with Argan oil.

    • @LynLvs2Laugh
      @LynLvs2Laugh 7 років тому +26

      FYI: My styles usually last the whole week. My favorite way to moisture my hair? I leave my shower cap off and let my hair absorb the humidity from my shower. Once I'm out, I lightly massage some oil in my hands and spread it through my hair. Living dangerously I know but it works lol.

    • @MsMookie513

      I have 4c hair too , this method works very well for kinkier textures .I've used it on multiple clients with similar hair texture to me and it works.It's better for me living in rainy England as it just seals evrything in.

    In my opinion Liquid, Cream and then Oil makes the most sense for dryer hair. Putting cream on top of oil is not as effective as putting oil on top of cream bc oil seals in moisture better than cream. Cream dries out faster. But your end result looks fantastic.

    I finally understood the L.O.C method! I really thought the L was water. No wonder my hair didn't look good.
    I've always wondered if people had to wait their hair in the morning like me every time. I'm new to the natural hair movement and I don't have anybody to advise me. But my hair is really flat and matted on the sides in the mornings so if I don't wet it, I can't style it. But it's so cold!!! This method seems better. Thanks for sharing it!

Takes a minute to dry and products just sit on my hair doing the WOAH. lmbo Here I thought that the struggle was over when I got the last few processed strands cut off. But NO honey my hair was like, "CHALLLLEEEENGE!" I love my hair though! :-D Every wash day I learn something new lol. Now this video has instructed me to buy perm rods. Cuz this is the style i would love to rock for the rest of my life lol Thanks sista!

    I tried this out last weekend, it came out amazing. Bouncy, shiny, defined.... I just don't have any place to go and rock this fro due to the virus lol. Oh well, I'll rock it at home, it's cool.
