    LCO works works better for me and makes more sense logically

    • @kiml1226
      @kiml1226 Před 5 lety +22

      I agree because most oils are a sealant and putting a sealant on and then adding more moisture does that make sense. Because it's not getting in the hair strand.

      Agreed. Ive been natural for 10 years and have been a die hard loc method kinda gal....but last week for the first time I tried lco....never going back.

    • @alicemiriah

      Same. The minute I learned that oil was to be used as a sealant for moisture, I started using it last.

    Great video! TFS and thanks for the comparison. To me your LOC side looked better-less frizz and just a smidge shinier at the roots and your curls popped more during application on LOC side as well, to me.☺ However, it's your hair and you can feel it and we only see it on video. I recently tried LOB-forgot to use my liquid leave-in but hair was wet so L was water, O was extra dark JBCO, and B was shea butter. When I took my hair down to braid it 3 days later, some pieces were still damp which NEVER happened before. That's how well the LOB method sealed in the moisture.

    • @gfergie18
      @gfergie18 Před 5 lety +3

      Thats what i do to. Idk why i had stopped, been doing it for the past few weeks andits the most moisturized and soft my hair has been in a while even without deep conditioning. I make my own herbal oil blend, hair spritz and shea butter mix. Works better that than any twisting butter.

  • @PUNKGIRLrock24

  • @cookbookswelcomed2943
    @cookbookswelcomed2943 Před 5 lety +20

    I prefer what I call the LCOC Method I use two creams or in my case a creamy whipped homemade butter after my oil is applied. It gives me extra moisture that lasts. When I seal this way I usually don't have to re-moisturize for 5 to 6 days and my ends don't dry out. Only thing is my hair is weighed down a bit more but always super defined.
    Your hair looks great with both methods though. Loved the vid Queen ♥

      AllThat Jazz I usually wear my hair in twist when its not in a long term protective style. I use a water based leave in on wet hair, shea butter mix I make, a oil blend and then a twist cream. I guess this would be a LCOC? I don’t touch my hair all week when I do this. What do you use for the other cream and the L?

  • @TodaysSpecialMinis
    @TodaysSpecialMinis Před 4 lety +3

    I think the right side of your head came out better - the LOC method. The curls seemed a bit shinier and the ends are defined. The left side - the LCO method looked a little frizzier and less shiny/defined. While both sides may have been equally soft and moisturized - the right side definitely came out looking like first day hair while the left came out looking like day 2. Funny how changing the order of the products can have such a different effect. Thanks for this comparison. I need to do this on my own hair to see what the difference is. I think every natural should try both methods just to see which one their hairs responds to best.
