The porosity of your natural hair plays a huge role on how your hair responds to products and its ability to retain moisture. So, these methods may work differently depending on your hair type.

The video seems to make sense but my only question is if the cream and oil mixes up (as stated in the video) when applied one after the other then does it really mater which one you apply first?

I always wondered why coconut oil worked so well for others, but not for me. Now I know :)

@TheEudaimonya 3 жыл бұрын

I love sunflower oil in my hair and on my skin. It's light, penetrates well, doesn't cause that weird coconut reaction, and you can get a huge bottle for cheap in the cooking oil aisle at the grocery store. It's considered a "dry oil" because it doesn't leave a sticky residue. I was actually able to stop using almost all of my face stuff and just put a little oil twice a day and my skin stays just as smooth. Fantastic stuff.

Uuuugh, where were you when I was figuring this out years ago? I love your channel. I call it a shortcut to anybody's hair journey because you seriously have ALL the key info here. I'm low porosity and I bought anything and everything until I found one great cream leave-in and figured out that L.C was all I needed for my hair to look beautiful. Nowadays, I only use oil if i plan on heat styling and even then, very sparingly. BTW Avocado oil - also excellent for us low porosity girls.

@gabriellerunnells398 4 жыл бұрын

I have low porosity type 4 hair and I use the L.C method and the L.O Method. I use water (preferably heated) and a grease to lock in the moisture and for the L.O, I use water and a mix of coconut oil and Jamaican black castor oil. Just works for my hair. In between shampoo cleanses and conditioning, I use a water based liquid conditioner to brush out my hair with (not too much) and at least once a month after I shampoo and condition - I use a protein treatment (preferably hair mayonnaise) and then after that I just brush and twist my hair with no further product. So far my hair has been in the best condition it’s ever been in. Watching your videos has shown me how to take care of MY HAIR.

@StephiMichele 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video! I recently realized that my hair does much, much better with just water and shea butter, no oil, but that was after about 4 years of wondering what I was doing wrong or what was wrong with my hair that the LOC and LCO methods weren't working for me. When you first go natural and you're learning, you watch videos and tend to follow the masses.

I'm low porosity and used to do L.C.O because I always heard that was best for low porosity. I tried L.O.C a couple months ago out of curiosity and I'm never going back to L.C.O. The trick is to use a light weight oil. My hair is gaining it's fullness back after hair loss from covid, it's super shiny and stays shiny until my next wash day.

@Neesha242 Жыл бұрын

Do you do this on soaking wet hair or damp hair?

@moonelysian77 Жыл бұрын

@Neesha242 I only do this right after washing my hair once a week. I spray with water and a liquid based leave in mixed together for the "l" part of loc. Then follow with oil and cream. I then twist my hair with a foaming styler and dry. Untwist the next day and pineapple my hair at night.

So this tells me what I’ve been doing wrong with my naturally porous fine hair: I can put waaaaaay more cream and oil on my hair than I do. I thought less was better, but I could benefit from using more cream and/or oil because my hair can absorb a lot more than I thought. THIS EXPLAINS why my hair is best when I put too much leave in on it by mistake. No matter how much I put on it, three minutes later, it will be GONE, soaked up in my hair. And my hair will look much softer and better. Thank you for this!

@TheEudaimonya 3 жыл бұрын

My hair is like that too. Before LOC my hair was constantly dry and easily weighed down so I figured I needed to go very very light on product, and oil scared me to try. But once I gave LOC a shot my hair just soaked everything up and got super happy.

I have coarse, dense, high porosity hair and I do the LOC method but how I do it and which products I use depends on whether its wash day or a mid week re-moisturizing. I tend to use penetrating oils only on wash day and use my creamy leave in as the C, while mid week I'll spritz with aloe vera juice or gel and use a creamy leave-in as the L, sealing oils for the O and my styling butter as the C. I never really thought about why I did this but I noticed early on the the difference this method makes in retaining moisture. I also apply my products with a very light hand and gradually build up coverage as needed because I don't like residue or a greasy, oily feel on my hair.
