Idk but I don't believe coconut oil does. It seems like a moisturizer & detangle basically. Also the "loc method" doesn't make sense to me, "lco" is more logical for the intended purpose.
But anyway, everyone claims to be an "expert". From my experience black hairstylists are the least knowledgeable about hair no shade but shade. I learned about hair from paying attention to my own hair for the past 3 years
