Happy Monday!

Well it's the beginning of another week. I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend.

After many months of me saying I would put my hair into some kind of updo, I finally did. I only used about 5 bobby pins. They don't hold my locs well because they are thick and too heavy for those little pins.

The solution: I tied my locs together. What do I mean? Well I twisted them around one another to form the rows and at the end of each row I took the last loc in my hand and grabbed a random one from the middle of my head and tied the two together, like the first step in tying shoe laces. I hope that makes sense! lol Well, here are the pics...








Have a wonderful week!!!

New Style

Hello everyone!

As you all have seen in previous photos, one of my favorite loc styles is CURLS. I have always achieved this style by putting my hair into bantu knots and then wearing a bantu knot-out.

As my locs have gotten longer I've been wanting more of a "spiral" look. I have read several posts on blogger and nappturality stating that the best way to achieve this look is to use pipe cleaners.



I had been planning on picking some up, but had pushed it to the bottom of my list of things to do. Well, a couple of weeks ago I was strolling through Family Dollar and spotted some for 1.00 so I had to go ahead and buy some.

You can use whatever products you normally use to style your locs. Also, be sure your locs are wet before you curl them and let them fully dry before you take the pipe cleaners out.

Here is a tutorial:



Mine are various colors so it may be easier to see...
Here's how I wrapped mine:







Here is the result:



The curls are kind of tight, I personally like my hair better as the curls fall; and that's exactly what happened as the days went on...
