Attaining a Crinkled Loc Look

In this challenge, contestants were asked to create a how-to guide for creating curls or crinkles.  As a loc'er, I decided to create a crinkled loc look by braiding my hair.  Here are the step-by-step instructions as to how you too can achieve this funky crinkled look, as follows:

 

 

Step One: Wash hair with an organic shampoo, such as Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap, and towel dry it before using an olive oil based hair oil to lightly moisturize the scalp.  The process begins with clean, straight locs.

Step Two: Use a leave-in conditioner to soften locs at the root.

 

 

Step Three: Section hair into four equal sections.

Step Four: Start braiding smaller sections of hair.

 

 

Step Five: Make sure all hair is braided with loose, free-hanging braids.

Step Six: Sit under a soft-bonnet ionic dryer for 1-2 hours, depending on the length of the locs.

 

 

Step Seven: After drying, start unraveling braided locs.

Step Eight: After unbraiding all loced sections, you are ready to strut your stuff on the runway.

 

 

 

ENJOY!

If Bob Marley and Chaka Khan had a love child and Erykah Badu was the godmother, the long-loc'ed princess would be named C.Dzen (pronounced "season"). With an island girl visage, tremendous range, vocal control and beautiful timbre, C.Dzen is the total package. Curry Flavored Neo Soul.
