SOOOOOO for 2016 I said I was going to be more open with trying new techniques for my hair. Last night I decide to try the LOC method for the 1st time. I was very successful! I think its because of the combo of products I used.
What is the LOC method? The L.O.C Method has been praised in the natural hair community for some time now. Known for it's amazing ability to moisturize natural hair while maintaining defined curls, the L.O.C method is a MUST for any curly with dry thirsty curls.
L.O.C represents a combination of hair products to achieve the ultimate moisture.
The order of the method is very important as well, and is what makes the method so effective! The key to doing the method correctly is in how you layer the products.
The order is 1.) Leave-In 2.) Oil 3.) Cream. (Ref: curl mart)
For some reason after using the JBCO products I can't explain the feeling but its a feeling of finally accomplishing the right feeling for your hair..... Especially if you are 4c hair type and your ends feel dry.
One thing I can explain is that when applying the products using the LOC method I noticed that my strands felt thicker and moisturized and it and clumped easier. Before I was layering products like QHMET(still my fav) and Camille Rose products to just get to that level. But this LOC Method does it all for me. And my hair doesn't feel like its coated with too many products. Its crazy that the technique you do counts so much as well as the products you use. I know it may be common sense but it just takes trail and error to learn. Thank God I didn't completely destroy my hair before learning this. :)
Below is my freshly washed hair (using the JBCO line) and after applying the LOC products listed below. The hair is about 85% dry here.
Also, I used the Shea Moisture JBCO oil entire product line as mentioned above for the first time. I was able to get all of their products when they had the buy one, get one free promo at Walgreens. I am so glad I decided to try the products again. Back in the day I tried the coconut and hiscubus line (orange label) and it was a FAIL! I absolutely hated it and I dislike every YouTuber who I saw promoting it. You can never trust them reviews. I swear lol. But at that time I was newly natural and still figuring out what worked for my hair. And I wanted my hair to feel like it felt when I was relaxed. But as I see now the technique or method I was doing was all wrong. I was still trying to use the same method I did as when I was relaxed. The method of simply 1. Using a liquid moisturizer, 2. Applying a Growth Aid and 3. Applying an oil was not going to work anymore. 4c hair tends to be more on the dry side because of the texture. Its no longer able to absorb products faster as my straight relaxed hair did.
My FAVORITE product from this entire line is the Leave in. OMG it gives sooooo much slip! I don't even have to comb thru my hair. Even if I do decide to comb it will help the comb slip right thru any tangles. If you have a tender headed little girl I highly recommend this. I can seriously guarantee it will work. This will forever be a staple!

- "L" stands for Leave-In
- "O" for Oil
- "C" for Cream
