While it’s been around for years, the L.O.C. method has been seeing a resurgence in popularity amongst curly girls, particularly those with kinky coils. Once you’ve checked out this super easy to follow tutoria l, your curls will be poppin’ and on point.
Liquid: Apply a moisturizing liquid (water or aloe vera based) or a leave in conditioner to damp curls. When selecting the right liquid moisturizer to use on your curls, consider a product that lists water as its main ingredient. If you have thicker, coarser curls you might need to pick up a heavier, cream based product to get the right levels of moisture. Avoid any leave ins with alcohol listed as an ingredient, because those could actually be more drying to your curls than helpful.
Oil: When selecting an oil to use, make sure it’s moisturizing as well. Sometimes curlies get confused between sealants and moisturizing oils. Moisturizing oils will penetrate your curl’s shaft, which is what you need for this part of the method. You’ll need to determine your curl’s type, texture and structure to figure out what type of oil works for you. Some to consider are virgin olive oil, almond oil and avocado oil. These all natural oils work great on lots of different curl types.
Cream: When picking out the right cream for your curls, you need to look at one that’s thick and full of moisturizing ingredients. The L.O.C. method is all about slathering your curls with tons of healthful, moisturizing ingredients! When selecting a cream, look for one that’s butter based to get the best out of your product. Products like Alikay’s Naturals Shea Yogurt and Mielle Organics Avocado Moisturizing Hair Milk are loaded with all natural ingredients that can help add that final kick to your L.O.C. method treatment by laying it on thick with the moisturizers.
