When growing healthy natural hair, moisture retention is a major key. πŸ— If you have curly/kinky/coily hair γ€°οΈβžΏ that naturally lacks moisture πŸ™‹πŸΎ‍♀️, try using the LOC method for softer, more hydrated hair that stays moisturized longer. I discovered this method around 10 years ago, and it's been a LIFE SAVER along my natural hair journey. πŸ‘©πŸΎ‍🦱 . LOC stands for Liquid (or Leave-In), Oil, and Cream. Try these three simple steps for maximum moisture: . . Step 1: Liquid or Leave-In – Apply your favorite water or aloe-based leave-in conditioner. If you don't have a go-to leave-in, you can make your own by adding a little bit of regular conditioner to a spray bottle with plain water (my personal favorite variation πŸ™‚). . Step 2: Oil – Apply oil to lock in the moisture from the liquid. A little goes a long way here! I suggest our Hair & Beard Elixir since it contains both coconut πŸ₯₯ and extra virgin olive oil which penetrates the hair shaft and increases the hair’s ability to hold on to water molecules πŸ’¦. There's some Jamaican black castor oil in the Elixir as well, which helps with the last step. πŸ‘‡πŸΎ . Step 3: Cream – Apply a creamy moisturizer like our Shea Souffle Body Butter to close the hair cuticle and seal in the moisture from the liquid and oil πŸ’†πŸΎ‍♀️. . . Our Hair & Beard Elixir and Shea Souffle Body Butter are the product of many years of experimenting to figure out the best oil and cream combination for my kinky/coily hair! .
