L.O.C or L.C.O Method for Moisturizing Hair

By
The Liquid, Oil, Cream or the Liquid, Cream, Oil techniques have become quite popular among fellow hair bloggers as well as readers. The two methods all aim at keeping moisture locked in the hair.

Liquid: any water based leave in
Cream: moisturizing creams
Oils: what you use for sealing in the leave in and moisturizer.
Whereas the L.O.C stands for Liquid, Oil and Cream, the L. C. O represents Liquid, Cream and Oil. Basically, after you apply the liquid, you can either use a cream and seal with oil or use oil and seal with cream.
Check out my video showing how I do this method.

The L.C.O is considered an offspring of the L.O.C because it was only when some ladies realised that cream before oil works better for them.
Personally, I haven't consciously tried both techniques but intend to dedicate two months to experiment with them.

Because our weather tends to be dry most often, finding a method that helps the hair retain more moisture is an excellent idea. At the end of my tests, which I will start in 3 weeks time,I'll share my results with you.
Have you tried any of these two? What were your results?

In case you have relaxed hair and wondering if you can use chebe powder the answer is a yes.



All you need is to be able to plait your hair or twist up. You can also use cornrows.
To prepare the chebe mixture, add a few tablespoon full to a creamy product. I usually recommend your moisturizer or butter for a good hold.

Shampoo and condition your hair well and apply the chebe mixture. Plait up the hair and leave it for at least 7 days before reapplying the chebe mixture.

When you are ready to wash out, which could be in a month or whenever you want, just shampoo the hair and condition as usual.

You can use the mixture again for another couple of weeks.

In case you need chebe powder or chebe oil, call or whatsapp 0541458372.

Baggying involves using a moisturizer (which contains chemicals) and a plastic cap to help retain moisture and hydrate your hair.

The green house effect is mainly to help promote hair growth in a natural way as well as restore moisture.The greenhouse effect encourages your body heat and natural oils to moisturize your hair.
