THE SECRET TO SUPER DEFINED CURLS- 04
Many people ask me “what do I put on my curls to define them that much?”
Well, besides moisturizing my hair with a good conditioner, the key to my defined curls is the L.O.C method.
What is the L.O.C method?
The Liquid Oil Cream Method or L.O.C method is a technique that hydrates the hair and consists of:
1) Moisturizing the hair with a water-based product.
2) Sealing the hair’s moisture with your favorite oil.
3) Applying a cream product to close the hair cuticle and retain hydration.
Follow these three steps in this order before doing any of your favorite hairstyles. Your hair will absorb more moisture as it air dries.
This method can work in any curl type but is recommended to really dry, coarse hair and remember to warp your curls into a satin cap at night to preserve the moisture in your curls.
The L.O.C method can be useful to achieve the bests twist outs, Bantu knots or simply a wash and go.
Ps: If you want to add some versatility to your hair as it transitions and doesn’t know how to do any of these techniques, go to the links below and watch some of my favorite YouTube tutorials.
