What
is the L.O.C Method?
L
– Liquid
O
– Oil
C
– Crème
Good old moisturizing and
sealing is just not cutting it for a good number of kinky, curly and
wavy people out there. The L.O.C. Method is a fairly new way of
locking moisture into the hair for a longer period of time. You
basically apply a liquid to the hair first and seal it in with a
natural oil of your choice. The new step is sealing the oil in with a
water based moisturizing crème to keep the hair soft and moist for
longer period of time.
What
liquid should I use?
The best moisturizing
liquid to use on the hair is water. Nothing beats good old H2O!
Using plain old water means that you can start The L.O.C. Method
straight after washing and conditioning your hair. If you’re not
someone who washes or co-washes their hair several times a week, you
may decide to use a braid spray or a water based liquid leave in
conditioner as your liquid option.
What
oil is best to seal the liquid in?
You can go right ahead
and use the same oils you’ve been using to seal in your moisture in
the past. My favourites are still coconut oil, castor oil and extra
virgin olive oil. Whatever you use, be sure it’s a natural oil that
is able to penetrate the hair shaft in order to nourish the hair.
What
sort of crème based moisturizer should be used?
I’m a big fan of water
based crème moisturizers. I use quite a few in my regimen. Here are
a list of my favourites.
- JO’M Moisturiser Cream (Available in SA at CLICKS)
- JO’M Dreadlocks Oil Cream (Available in SA at CLICKS)
- Organics by Africa’s Best Carrot Oil Cream (Available in SA at DisChem)
- PROFECTIVE Mega Growth Anti-Breakage Strengthener Crème (Available in SA at DisChem)
- ORS HAIRepair Anti-Breakage Crème (Available in SA at CLICKS)
- ORS HAIRepair Intense Moisture Crème (Available in SA at CLICKS)
- ORS Hair Fertilizer (Available in SA at CLICKS)
Will
you be jumping on The L.O.C. Method wagon the next time you decide to
moisturize your hair?
Have a
Good Hair Day!!!

ReplyDeletehi! I made my on spray with water, olive, castor and coconut oil. Is it too much or ok?
ReplyDeleteHi! I just wanted to highlight the fact that you definitely have made a very nice looking resource. I also wanted to ask you something considering your blog. Do you take into considerations writing in a professional way or owning a blog is a kind of hobby?
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your question. I do take considerations in writing professionally. Good Hair Diaries is not a hobby at all. It's a resource that I have created in order for men and women to learn to love the hair they were born with.
