Hello everyone this is Breanna Rutter author of the book the natural hair Bible and founder
[12]
of howtoblackhair.com for these special videos I love to answer all of the questions you
[18]
all send me via email so if you have any questions that you would like for me to answer be sure
[24]
to check out the description box below for additional information so without further
[29]
ado are going to get right on into the video in this video is inspired by a question I
[34]
received from a lady named Talisha,Talisha emailed me and she simply asked what the LOC
[40]
method so some people call this the LOC method what it stands for LOC and call the LOC method
[47]
as well so Talisha what I want to do is tell you what the LOC method is some tips that
[53]
you want to incorporate when you want to try it and also generally how it helps or how
[58]
its related to hair so the LOC method can be applied to either natural hair were relaxed
[64]
hair it just depends on if this is something you really with me to help you retain moisture
[69]
into your strands so for the LOC method L stands for liquid O stands for oil and C stands
[77]
for cream so in regard to L standing for liquid can either mean water or it could mean a water-based
[86]
leave in moisturizer so for some people it's better to use more heavier products or allow
[92]
more thicker consistency products to keep their moisturizer then it is for someone to
[96]
simply just put oil on top of waters of your some of you have a hard time keeping your
[102]
hair moisturized or it's always chronically dry I highly suggest that you try this method
[107]
now it's not like it's going to just save your hair forever it's not like a one-size-fits-all
[114]
you really want to play around with what different kinds of products that you would like to use
[118]
for your hair maybe for your liquid water will work best by doing water oil and then
[123]
cream or maybe the leave conditioner will work in doing the leave in and then oil and
[129]
then the actual cream so for your oil you can use olive oil coconut oil almond oil all
[135]
these oils are very good on your hair and different oils will feel lighter on your strands
[141]
so you just have to play around what oils work best for you what I suggest is a look
[147]
at a couple of your leave conditioning products to see what oils are in it because if you
[152]
have a favorite leave in conditioner most likely the oils that are used in your products
[157]
are very great in your situation to be best for your hair for one person at if they use
[162]
olive oil it feels to have a greasy and maybe in that situation using almond oil would be
[168]
a better choice now for your creams for your creams and this can be a very heavy butter
[174]
or sealant which would be composed of cocoa butter or Shea butter those type of thick
[180]
consistency creams now epending on your hair Shea butter may be too much for you so maybe
[187]
actually doing the entire LOC method may not work for you maybe just using water in an
[194]
oil would be best but if you really want to help keep your hair moisturized and prevent
[199]
the water from evaporating too quickly that's why it's always great to seal your hair with
[204]
an oil or a butter so I hope this has helped you the LOC method simply stands for liquid
[210]
oil and cream you just want to play around with different products that you think will
[215]
work for your hair and if you need any help in that you can buy my book because I have
[220]
