The L.O.C Method

-

 Hey Sistas, today I’m going to give you a step by step on The LOC Method. The LOC Method helps moisturize your hair and leaves your hair looking healthy. LOC stands for Liquid, Oil, and Cream. The liquid should either be water or a water based leave in. The oil can be any oil of your choice. The oil is used to LOC in the moisture and it leaves your hair looking shiny. My favorite oil is olive oil and coconut oil. The cream is any creamy moisture. The cream is normally applied last it prevents the hair from losing any moisture. The LOC methods will increase growth and help prevent breakage to your hair. Here are the steps that my model used to achieve her LOC method look.

1.     First she co-washed her hair. Co-washing is only using conditioner to wash your hair. Many researchers have found it is better to co-wash than to wash with shampoo. Shampoo strips your hair of all its moisture and leaves you hair dry and brittle. She than detangled her hair with a detangling brush in the shower.

2.    She let her hair deep condition using Aussie Conditioner . Deep conditioning helps repair any follicles in the hair and help moisturize your hair. She let her hair deep condition for seven hours.

3.    Next she washed all of the conditioner out.

4.    She applied leave in (Shea Moisture), oil (Coconut oil) and cream (Garnier Whole Blends ). She also applied a lot of water to keep her hair hydrated. Water based products are the key to keeping your hair hydrated. It is important to read the labels of any product before purchasing it.

5.     She finger detangled her hair instead of using a comb or a detangling brush after adding the products. The finger detangling works better when your hair is damp.

6.    She applied gel to make her curl pattern stay

7.    Lastly, she let her hair air dry over night to achieve the LOC look the next morning.

The LOC method is not very hard and if done correctly you can achieve beautiful curls. It is important to use the right products for your hair type when trying to achieve the LOC method. I hope you all can achieve this look Bye, Sistas!

Nighttime Routine

-
Hey Sistas, I have a video showing you how I take care of my wig while my natural hair is braided under the wig. It is important to take care of your weave and your natural hair while wearing a wig. I have had this hair for two years but the first time I wore the hair as a sew in. I let a friend make a wig out of it and this is how I have been wearing my hair lately.   At night rime I detangle my hair and add OGX conditioner and water to it.   I mix OGX conditioner and water in a spray bottle and I wet my hair all the way through. After I wet my hair all the way through I comb through it once again to make sure it is all detangled. Next I twist my hair up and I take my wig off at night and place it on a styrofoam wig head to dry overnight. In the morning I wake up put my wig cap on and place my wig on top of the wig cap. I also oil my natural hair at night with Tea Tree Oil to insure my real hair is still getting moisture. This nighttime routine is super easy and it leaves my w

Hey Sistas, many girls in college are natural and love their natural hair, but it can definitely be a hassle. There are those day where you just really don’t know what to do with your hair. Many college girls choose to wear protective hairstyles such as; braids, weave, wigs and twist.   Between classes, homework, work, and extra-curricular activities protective hairstyles are easier to maintain. I sat down with Dana Mitchell to talk about her natural hair journey and protective hairstyles. Q: When did you become natural? A: I became natural around 2015. I was tired of my relaxed hair and it was not growing how I wanted it. Q: How has your natural hair journey been? A: My natural hair journey has been great!   I will say going natural was the best thing I could have done. My hair has grown way longer and it is thick and healthier. Q: Did you transition or did you do the big chop? A: I transitioned; I did not have the guts to cut my hair. I was scared I would look fun

Hey Sistas, a wash and go is my go to hair style. It is super simple in the summer; especially for me I just wash my hair and go. The name tells it all; basically you wash your hair and go on with your day. Although, a wash and go is simple for me it is a harder for others especially trying to find the right products. A lot of products are not needed for a wash and go but you still have to attempt to add in something that will give your natural hair some shine and moisture. Here are the steps to achieve a  successful wash and go.  1.       First Co-wash your hair with a conditioner ( OGX Biotin & Collagen). Washing helps get rid of all the product build up. Using conditioner to co-wash helps moisturize your hair. Shampoo strips your hair of its moisture that is why it is importation to co-wash with conditioner.  2.       While I’m co-washing my hair I part my hair into section and detangle my hair with a wide tooth comb. A wide tooth comb really separates the h
