LOC method for relaxed hair?

So, I have been trying the loc method to see if my hair will hold moisture longer and to be honest I don't think it makes a difference to my hair. I used the loc method and attempted a braid out and my hair was dry by the end of the day sooo, what do that tell you?

I shall continue to do it to see if variations of it will make a difference. Currently my L is water, My O is coconut oil, and my C is the Jane Caters nourishing cream.
