Curly Locs Tutorial

Curly Locs Tutorial

Locs look great as they are, but babyyyyyyy when you add some perm rods and set overnight 👀 

Here’s the tutorial, I got you!

What you need:

  • Perm rods aka curling tools (size suggestion: purple or orange)… depending on how many locs you have, this may vary in the count needed
  • Setting Foam aka a Mousse (this is a very lightweight styling product for curls and even a greater choice for locs)
  • Continuous Mist Spray Bottle (for water so you can keep your hair hydrated while styling)
  • Optional: Lightweight Hair Oil (to add shine and moisturize hair/scalp)
  • Optional: 3-Way Doorframe Mirror (helps you see from all angles aka the back of your head and hooks on the back of any door

Steps:

  1. Wet hair using continuous mist bottle filled with water only
  2. Tie up majority of hair except for 1-2 locs, starting at the nape of your neck
  3. Add setting foam to section 
  4. Starting from the bottom of your loc(s), wrap around the perm rod and then roll towards your roots
  5. Secure at the top as close to your root as comfortably possible
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 until all of your hair is styled and secured with perm rods
  7. Blow dry on medium-warm for ~10mins or sit under a hooded dryer for ~30-60mins if you have one 
  8. Protect your hairstyle with a satin bonnet at night and sleep (sweet dreams!)
  9. In the morning (next day), apply a light oil to your hands and unravel the perm rods carefully and to avoid/reduce frizz
  10. Enjoy looking good! 🔥
