💧 LCO Method (Liquid → Cream → Oil)

💡 Best for: Low to Medium Porosity Hair (Moisture-resistant, prone to product build-up)

Why? Cream helps soften and hydrate, oil seals without weighing hair down.

✅ Step 1: Liquid/Leave-in
Water or water-based leave-in conditioner
Example: Rose Water, Lightweight Leave-ins

✅ Step 2: Cream
Light, moisturizing cream or lotion
Example: Aloe Vera Cream, Lightweight Curl Cream

✅ Step 3: Oil
Sealing oil (light oils work best for low porosity)
Example: Argan Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Jojoba Oil

🌊 Understanding Hair Porosity

Porosity = How well your hair absorbs and retains moisture.
✔️ Low Porosity: Cuticles are tight; hair resists moisture.
✔️ High Porosity: Cuticles are raised; moisture escapes quickly.
✔️ Medium/Normal Porosity: Balanced moisture absorption & retention.

💦 Steps for Each Method + Product Suggestions

🔥 LOC Method (Liquid → Oil → Cream)

💡 Best for: High Porosity Hair (Prone to dryness, breaks easily)

Why? This method seals in moisture effectively for hair that loses hydration quickly.

✅ Step 1: Liquid/Leave-in
Use water or a water-based leave-in conditioner
Example: Aloe Vera Juice, Hydrating Leave-in Sprays, or any leave in conditioner that is hydrating

✅ Step 2: light weight /heavy oils to seal moisture I recommend heavier oils
Example: Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil

✅ Step 3: Cream
Thick creams or butters to further lock in moisture
Example: Shea Butter Cream, Curl Enhancing Smoothie, mango butter etc
