Curlin' the locs, Part III

Sooooo, maybe like 3 weeks ago I curled my locs. It was by far the best curl job ever. They came out so big and defined.

See!


I can't help but be amazed at what my hair can do. Prior to loc'ing I don't think I had every seen anyone with curled locs. And even if I did, I would have never thought that I could achieve it without going to a salon regularly.

But I did it!


....and now I'm pretty obsessed with curling my locs. If I could do it every day, I would. Curls rule!!

Krinkly locs by Nubian Kinks!

OMG, I want my hair to have krinkles! I think I'm going to try this in the next few weeks. I curled them on a whim last weekend and they looked beautifuuuul.

Me and my sister at my youngest sisters' baptism...

LOL at my sister's face. A.mess. So yes....the curls came out beautifully. And I didn't even sit under the dryer. I used the perm rods and ended up falling asleep. Woke up and the curls were popping.

This look only lasted a good 3 days because the minute I worked out, they dropped. This, of course, infuriated me. I'm a work-out junkie but sometimes I wish that I didn't HAVE to just so I could keep a hairstyle. Ugh---but that's a story for another day.

Anyway---next on my styling agenda is some kinkly locs. Weeee!!!

The locs turned 9 months!!! Post and video coming soon!

Curlin' the locs, Part II

Soooo I got curl happy again.

First of all, I will say that retwisting AND curling the locs takes a LONG time. A loooong time. A good 3 hours to be exact. And that does not include sitting under the dryer. This is one long behind process that I can not see myself doing too often. I'd much rather pay someone to do it.

And that says a lot since I am cheap and always trying to stretch a dollar. HA!

This time around I used perm rods rollers. I SO much prefer these over the ones I used before. I got a much tighter curl...and the curl holds up! Three days later and I still have nice curls.

See!






Okay, the more I look at these photos the more I'm like, "Wait....where the curls at?" They are there! I promise. For some reason my camera didn't capture them as well as I thought they would have.

That's some buffoonery.

But trust me when I say there really are curls there. I have to tweak the process a little bit more. It's not easy.

And another thing....guess who will be doing a definite re-dye? The color is not popping the way I want it to. I'm wait a good month or so but I will definitely be re-dying the locs again. I can't help it.

I'm a rockstar with locs!!!!!
