This is probably the most famous moisturising routine because of how effective it is at moisture retention. The L.O.C method is my favourite hair routine, and really the go-to method for dealing with curly hair. LOC stands forLiquid, Oil, Cream,this is basically the order the 3 products are applied to moisturise your hair. I try and do this every night when I plait my hair for bed and then I will spray the plaits with water when I undo them in the morning. This process takes me around 30 minutes to comb and plait while watching TV in front of the mirror. I love this method because even when I get lazy and fall off the bandwagon with consistently doing my hair, I can jump back into this simple routine. It really is as easy as A B C... or L O C.
L is for Liquid
The first step consists of hydrating the hair with water or a water-based product, such as a leave-in conditioner or a detangling spray. I simply use water because I find I run out of leave-in conditioner extremely quickly, whereas water is easily accessible and lightweight, especially with the number of products that get layered on with this method. I spray my hair with water until it is slightly damp. It is essential to make sure you don't drench your hair with water, however, as it will take ages to dry and will make the other products drip out or sit on top. This is the first layer of moisture to really soften and penetrate the hair before it is sealed in by the oil.
When doing this method, think about your hair type. If you have hair that is easily weighed down you want a product that is very lightweight but if your hair is denser you can use a thicker leave-in.
O is for Oil
This step is for sealing in the moisture from the liquid. I use ourGolden Hair Oilfor this because it is lightweight and makes my hair feel soft, smooth and shiny (plus we have bottles upon bottles at my house). While water and oil don't mix, some natural oils have the ability to penetrate the hair shaft, such as Coconut oil, Olive oil, and Avocado oil. This helps the hair to retain the water you applied, so is great for moisturising. I do like some other oils like Castor oil, Grapeseed oil, and Jojoba oil but these work better as sealants, so if you were to go L.C.O, these oils would work better as the final step. However, this might be perfect for you depending on your hair texture. It's all about trial and error.
Oils are great but not all oils are small enough to diffuse into the hair so make sure you do your research.
Cis for Cream
Now the final step is applying a cream. A cream product to close the hair cuticle which prevents moisture from escaping. For this step, I tend to use conditioner or something thicker like ourCustom Hair Butter. I only tend to use a small amount per section of my hair. Some people use curling creams, twist and define creams, moisturising creams or even natural ingredients like Shea butter.
If you have fine hair that is easily weighed down use a lightweight curl creme sparingly, however if you have thicker hair you can use some more nourishing butters like Shea Butter.
After you have put all the products into your hair its time for the most important step, styling. I tend to do this before bed so that the products can really absorb into my hair and my hair is quick and easy to deal with in the morning. When applying the different products to my hair I only use a small amount because I don't want my hair being weighed down and I do this every night. I like to plait my hair and do a braid out in the morning; if I'm tired I might just do two big plaits, but if I have more time I'll section my hair into 8 smaller plaits.
Now everything I've written above is subject to your personal preference. Everyone has a different head of hair in texture, length, health, and porosity so adapt as you see fit. I occasionally prefer to apply an oil after a cream when my hair is particularly dry because I feel the oil is more appropriate for sealing in the moisture at the end. You don't have to use all of the products together either, if your cream is particularly thick, you can skip the oil or vice versa. Just find what works and stick with it! Consistency is so important if you want to seereal results.
Useing it for the first time I found it very greasy as it mad my hair very greasy.

✨ Review: Hydrating Mist + Hair Oil Duo ✨
My son has been using the hydrating mist and hair oil from this company consistently in his hair routine, and the results honestly speak for themselves. His hair looks healthier, shinier, and has so much more volume now. On Eid especially, his hair looked amazing — soft, defined, and full without looking heavy.
The hair oil has become his favourite part of the routine. He massages it into his scalp twice a week and leaves it in for a couple of hours before washing. It really helps keep his scalp moisturised and makes his hair feel stronger and smoother afterwards.
The hydrating mist works perfectly alongside it because it adds lightweight moisture and shine without making the hair greasy. He usually sprays it before styling with mousse, and it helps define the hair while keeping frizz away all day. ✨
What we noticed after regular use:
Shinier, healthier-looking hair
Softer texture
Better volume and definition
Less dryness and frizz
Hair feels hydrated but lightweight
Overall, this combination has worked really well for his routine, especially for keeping his hair looking fresh and styled naturally. Definitely products we would keep using. ⭐

Best beard oil on the market, has the exact results I want from a beard oil and I need to use so little to get my desired results, couldn’t recommend enough

We love using the hair butter in my daughter’s hair. Makes it easier to brush and smells lovely. She loves her curls 💛
Leanne C.5/5
Love this , hair looks less frizzy and you only need a small amount
Not sure of the scent of it though
Debra G.5/5Verified
I have only just started using the products. It’s maybe just three weeks now but this leaves my hair feeling so clean without any white residue like some other cleansers. It’s a must have and because I feel so clean and all residue is removed. I no longer wash my locs I just use this now and it gives me the same effect pending when I decide to redo my locs at the salon.
Cassandra E.5/5Verified
Since using the hair butter and hydrating spray my daughter’s hair has been easier to style and there has been less tears. Before her hair was dry but after using the products her hair looks shiny and healthy. We love how they smell too. Would definitely recommend.

Alyssa D.4/5Verified
Love it. Smells great. Makes my curls look amazing
Michelle A.5/5Verified
It absorbs beautifully without sitting greasy on top, which is rare. My hair drinks it up and just looks expensive afterwards. The frizz? Calm. The dryness? Gone. The ends? Sealed and behaving.

These products are amazing. My beards are fully, healthier and more pronounced.

My edges are filling out. I am super happy.
Olufisayo A.5/5Verified
I RARELY write reviews so trust me when I say this product has my heart! I believe it's my fourth time purchasing it and honestly my hair absorbs and loves it. I find my hair to be frizz free and I barely get any breakage, I put that down to how moisturising it is. I also use it for my kids and their hair loves it too! I love how gentle the ingredients, it gives me a peace of mind

I love it. The ladies are so kind

I’ve been using this hydrating hair mist for a short while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My scalp feels well-hydrated and comfortable, without any dryness or irritation. My hair feels noticeably softer, healthier, and more manageable, with a natural shine that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy.
What I really appreciate is how lightweight the mist is—it absorbs easily and refreshes my hair without weighing it down. It’s perfect for daily use, especially when my hair needs a quick boost of moisture. Overall, this product has helped improve the look and feel of my hair, leaving it nourished, refreshed, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to maintain hydrated, soft, and healthy hair.

I was recommended this by someone who works here for my 4 month old baby. I’d beg to differ.. essential oils and tea tree are definitely not recommended for a baby so young. I tried it on myself it’s ok but definitely won’t be buying from here again. I wanted to like it but it’s not for me

So much more mangeable. Feels healthy and moisturised not frizzy and fly away
Rebecca K.5/5Verified
I was approached in Westfield Shopping centre as I have curly hair and was told the product would be perfect for my type of hair. I have been looking for something that would be light enough not to weigh my hair down but give it the moisture it needs. I was super excited to use the mist but unfortunately it just dried my hair out. It was very light on my hair but didn’t enhance the curl pattern any more than what it was. I am very disappointed with the product especially for the price. I have to use it with my original hair product for it not to dry my hair out. I would not purchase again,
Sorry 😕 I wanted to love it but it’s not for me!
Michele D.1/5Verified

3 curly kids and we love this stuff so much! We have the whole range, and I often borrow some on the oil or butter for my own hair. Genuinely wouldn't be workout this spray now. Best things I've used on my kids hair by far
Aimee B.5/5Verified
Defines my daughters curls so well! By far my favourite product for my curly kids. And it smells divine! Taken 3 years to find what really works for her, so glad we took a chance on this range.

“Absolutely love this hair oil! It makes my hair so soft, manageable, and smooth. The scent is amazing too — not overpowering, just right. A must-have in my routine!”
Mitchelle S.5/5Verified
I love this bonnet! 1) I've become a restless sleeper so I toss and turn quite a bit and this does not come off. I don't have to do the mid sleep checks anymore to see if it's still on my head 2) I've spent so much money on silk bonnet and it just not living up to the hype but this £8.50 satin bonnet has done everything i thought those silk bonnets would do. I have thick wavy hair and these have been amazing controlling the frizz!
Mya5/5Verified
I Decided To Try The Mist After Using The Oil For A Year. It's Great For When My Hair Is Styled; It Was Especially Good When I Was On Holiday In Ghana; My Locs Were Hydrated and When I Took Them Out Of The Style, They Were Moisured With No Need For Oil. I Only Need To Use It Once A Week In The UK; About Every Other Day In Hot Weather. Give It A Try; The Larger Bottle Is Great Value.

After doing the big chop I was so worried my hair wouldn’t grow back quickly but omg.. after using this hair oil (along with other TGH products) I finally feel like I have my crown back. I swear by this hair oil!! The scent, the texture and the way my hair has grown back so healthily! I even use it on my hair clients. I can’t fault it at all, thank you ThatGoodHair!! ❤️
