My Loc tutorial
Here are the tools you will need for this style:[list][*]Hairpin[*]Hair pins[*]Rubber band strong enough to hold your locs in a bun[*]Small rubber bands
Instructions: (I will try to be as concise and clear whew...'hair' we go) in 1. Put your locs up in a ponytail, make sure it is tight enough for you  2. Within the locs that are in the ponytail select 6-8 of them for the corkscrew  3. Select one loc out of the 6-8 loc bunch (I prefer the longest one to start with)  4. Starting from the top of the bunch of locs wrap the first loc around until you almost reach the tip/ edge of that loc  (sorry for such a bad pic)5. When you reach end of that loc (meaning when u can no longer continue to wrap around) leave a small portion of the end not wrapped

6. With the edge gather it with the bunch of other locs while holding it down your hand
 7. Take another loc (you are still holding the the bunch of locs that now has the edge of the loc you just wrapped) and start to wrap it in the opposite direction of your first loc wrap (therefore if you start from the right at first now you will from the left) over the bunches of locs you are holding. This wrap will go over the edge of the loc of the first loc u wrapped and hold the wrap together  8. Continue steps 4-7 until u reach the very end and secure with a small rubber ban    9. Continue the corkscrews with the rest of the locs in the ponytail  The results:   10. Now just tuck the corkscrews and secure with them with pins   Alright guys hope this was helpful. Any questions pm me or post them here.

that's beautiful...
 I have three years of growth on me, so I hope my hair is long enough for that...I'm gonna try it. This was helpful, but if you ever get hold of a video camera, you need to post a vid on youtube. Thanks Nkosa... i saw your pm. couldn't pull up anything on the site. Maybe you can try again? |
