Curly Loc Updo

5. DIY- Pipe Cleaner Curl Loc Updo
This is a style I created using pipe cleaner curls that are 10 days old.They have been through a lot - from North Carolina heat and humidity to extra sweaty work outs! With all that my hair has been through I still think the curls look great, I just need to wash my hair!
In this style I flat twisted the right side of my locs on a slant (3 twists).
Then I pulled a few locs out for a bang.
After that, I took the remaining locs and secured the ends only with a black band.
Finally, I rolled my "pony tail" up into a bun and secured the bun with bobby pins!
There you have it! Cute and simple! In the following slides I show the directions step by step.

6. You will need these supplies.
Small hair pins (for the flat twists)
large hair pin/Bobby pin to hold the bun

7. My start! 3 side twists on a slant.
I used small hair pins to secure the twists.

8. Bang time!
I pulled a few Locs forward for a bang and separated them with a rubberband

9. I pulled the rest of my Locs back and secured them with a band. (Tips)
