Hair Randoms~ L.O.C. Method Get Thumbs Up

Soooo, just kinda wanted to share what i am currently doing to my hair now that i am wearing it out a minute. lately i have been wearing my hair for about a week or two then i'll do a protective style for about two weeks or so. i started doing that for 2 reasons: 1) when i was working out the extreme heat/sun (since i was working out outside at 5:00 in the evening the sun was beaming down) and the sun was literally making my hair crunchy every evening & 2) i mastered crochet braids and LOVE them!!!!

So anywhoo, i am in my non-PS week and i am trying something specific this go round. i am starting the LOC method, the LOC method is a method i have ran across several times since starting this journey. its basically a method where  you use a Liquid to moisturize, seal the liquid with an Oil, then seal the oil with a Cream. (For more information checkout Curly Nikki's post on it). Prior to my last crochet install i was doing the Kimmaytube Leave-in, and at first i was loving it but the last time i was not satisfied for some reason, but nevertheless i just thought why not try something else, i mean you will only know what best by trial & error sometimes. soo after cleansing my hair with the Knot Today Come Clean (since my hair had been up for three weeks wanted to be sure to truly cleanse my hair) mixed with my oil mix, i then DC with my routinely used ingredients: Queen Helene's Cholesterol, Organic's Hair Mayonnaise, V05 condish, honey, carrot oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, and ev olive oil. i actually let this set in my head over night because when taking down my hair i felt how overly dehydrated my hair was (due to the way i installed my crochet braids it was easy to get to my scalp), so i wanted to make sure that my hair got all it needed. so upon rinsing my hair i then applied as my Liquid the Taliah Waajid The Great Detangler to my head;

(the first five ingredients in this product are: deoinized water (aqua), vitamin E, olive oil, PEG-75, Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), Silk protein, Cocoa Butter oil extract

 My sister actually talked me into getting this product, i think on the whim of me not liking it she was going to get it( ...hhhmmmmm she might be out of luck) so then i commenced to combining my castor oil and jojoba oil together and use this as my Oil. both of these oils are high on my list of oils due to all of there great benefits i have heard/learned about throughout my journey (Click here for more information on the different oils and their benefits).

then lastly for for my Cream i used the Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Creamy Hair Lotion;

 ~i actually just  picked this up on a whim one day, not really sure if i was going to like it not considering i had been using the Cantu Shea Butter Leave -In and it had not been working on my hair, but i though oh i just need some kind of cream/moisturizer type of stuff to use instead of re-wetting my hair all the time (wetting it created extreme shrinkage at times when extreme shrinkage is not wanted). 

at this point i proceeded to section, detangle and twist my hair. upon taking my twist out the next day i must say i LOVED the way my hair felt, soft and fluffy like (kind of). i was very satisfied. that following night i set my hair by again sectioning, applying some more of the Creamy Hair Lotion mixed with the Castor oil and then flat twisting my  hair, and the following morning (this morning) again hair stills feel soft, fluffly (a tad bit on the oily side but i think that's partially due to the added Castor Oil). 

Overall, it seems like me and the L.O.C. method going to be cool!!!

until the next Hair Matter, i am out!!
