Tools for Thick Locs

Just dropping in to share some recent purchases for my locs. Firstly I decided to invest in a set of duckbill clips which differ from the double and single pronged clips I use when retwisting. I started to notice that the pronged clips would leave indentation marks where they were holding the dread in place.



Large duckbill clips don't compress my locs and can hold several locs at once which will be more comfortable overall. I also bought hair pins which are different from bobby pins and are much better for styling my plump dreadlings:


Much like the duckbill clips, the hair pins don't compress my locs so I can wear them without causing tension and eventual weak spots.

I mentioned buying ouchless bands for the recent style I've been doing. I like how they are just the right size for my locs at this stage, i.e. I only have to loop them once to get a firm hold, again, without compressing them.


Lastly, current hair shots:

Week 50: Braid/Basket Weave Style on Thick Locs

In love with my thick little baby locs. After combining them a few weeks ago I noticed I have a really prominent centre parting that was starting to look a little odd but last night it sort of sparked my inspiration for this quick style.


The night I tried this I was utterly impressed at how cute it was. So I wore it the next day too.



Then I realised the school girl hair bands weren't very befitting so I bought some smart, black ouchless bands instead.
