Thanks so much for posting this. When my hair was shorter I used to rod my locs but now my hair is too long. Now I will be able to get my spiral curls on.
Isn't it a bit strange to see someone with locs dancing and rejoicing in the fact that their hair looks like a little White girls? I mean the tutorial is good, but the whole "I look like a little White girl" thing is a bit much.
Thank you for this video! Tried it for this first time a few days ago and keep getting compliments! (Still haven't separated my curls yet.) Again, thank you for this tutorial!! :)
The first time I tried this I looked like a toy poodle because I wrapped them too small. The good thing is that my curls lasted me almost 2 weeks. As they began to fall I had this whole wavy thing going on. I'm now IN LOVE with the pipe cleaner technique, I told almost everyone I know about it and your videos. Thank you soo much for this tutorial, lots of love from Florida! <3
@Tranquilbutterfly28 next time try just doing the curls on the bottom half of your locs. i did another video for this style called "loose pipe cleaner curls" where i put my hair into pigtails beforehand. it gives you a longer looser curl. and you could always pull them once you take them out to make them loose. glad you were able to give it a try! ps. i'm originally from south florida! so excited to go home for Christmas
ur gorgeous!! lol. & thnks for the videos!!! I've learnt alot already! lol. I've had my dreads for like 6years now & starting to hav a desire to experiment styles with them! lol
Thank you for this video!! (All your loc videos for that matter) I just tried this for the first time and I'm overjoyed about the results. Can't wait until the next time I can try it, thinking it'll look even better now that I've got it down to a science!
I CAN NOT WAIT to try this... and I love your personality too.. one of the few tutorials i actually ENJOYED watching. Found your video through BronzeGoddess. :-) I will let you know the turn out. I"m super excited to try this
@scarlettez aw you're sweet! i just did a new curly hairstyle tutorial, "loc knots". the curls are a little different, but they're really pretty and easier to sleep in. hope you can check out the video and possibly try it!
Hurrhurr. I went out and bought the pipe cleaners from Michael's the same night I watched this. Had a little twist partae~ and now Im gonna try em out! :D Love your vids! x)
Thank you so very much. I am very inexperience when it comes to maintaining my locs. I got the pipe cleaners, after I am done with my homework, I will try this. Thanks again, by the way, your locks are beautiful...
Greetings Ches. As I write this I have a head full of pipe cleaners. Yaaay!! I'm normally a "wrap my head up with african cloth" sistah..but am stepping out my box. It was hard as my locs are almost to my bottom so it took aaaaaaaages. Fingers and arms are like..wel..cant use them for a week lol.Only thing I want to ask is...How long should I keep them in for??? Am sure u have said...so sorry if u have answered this question a trillion times. One Love...
@nowrissa you unfold the end that was used to secure the pipe cleaner and then you just slide them out. you literally just pull the pipe cleaner out and your hair will stay curled. hope that helps!
I tried this style last night and took out the pipe cleaners this morning and i absolutely L-O-V-E the results!! Im in the short phase of my sisterlocks not yet to the bottom of my neck and I stay researching different styles to keep me motivated on the end process. This was quick, simple and CHEAP. Thanks so much this style has opened up so many more ideas for me!
Chescalocs thanks ..not only have you change my life with this method,but you have forever changed You tube.Everywhere on you tube there are ppl who's posting and doing tuts using pipe cleaners.
chescalocs thank you for introducing me to another way of curling my hair, and the way you pull them out afterwards, small blisters are a minor price to pay.....my hair normally takes 4-5 hours to do from washing, retwisting and then sitting under the dryer as i have over 100 locs that i cut regularly as i find the length toooo much to handle - just past my shoulder blades is length enough ;-) Once again thank you XXXXX
Would this work for different types of hair? Like caucasian hair? I'm seriously not trying to be racist or anything, but we have different types of hair, you know? Thanks :)
Btw it looks gorgeous on you, especially seperated!!! :)
@Linzee1998 thanks! no offense taken :) pipe cleaners probably wouldn't work on your hair texture because it's not as thick, but you could try a similar method using fabric strips or even brown paper bag strips! do a search for "rag curls" and you'll find a tutorial
Thank you so much!!!!! I'm in my fourth year of having locs and have been looking for a way to make changes...........You are a God send. Thanks so much and please keep making videos. I'm going to curl my hair tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
God send!! I was using the dft color rods ($3.99per pack) and staying home for two days. Now at least I can run errands if I need too. Cost efficient and cute - lovin' it!! Thank you much!
@TheSkyhazFallen it's normal to have a little bit of fuzziness, but you shouldn't be losing clumps of fur off of the pipecleaner. if you're running into that problem i'd try buying another pack of pipe cleaners
i jus wanna say i tried this and my hair turned out amazin!!...i got compliments left ritght and center!!...this is my new favorite hairstyle thank you sooo much...keep up with the videos!!
Luv luv luv your tutorials. Very helpful and well done. Just wondering if you have any suggestions for frizz. Within a week my locs are frizzy and my parts are blended even though i wear a scarf every night. It's driving me batty! Help! 8-)
@dunlopl38 are your locs kinda young? fuzziness is part of having natural hair/locs, but as they mature it does get better. the best way to cut down on frizzies is to palm roll. just try not to over do it.
I just rolled my hair with the pipe cleaners and I'm kinda nervous about how they will turn out...but I'm also excited. I'm trying to do different styles with my hair. I need to seeing that my locs are 8 years old this month!
THANK U SOOO MUCH!!! I have wondered what the pipe cleaners looked like lol. I've rolled my hair with rollers b4 that were too small and I wasn't pleased with the results. I will be at Walmart later to buy my pipe cleaners.
great vid i will try this once my locs get a lil longer i am a newbie i started my locks on march 9 but i was natural for about 21/2 yrs so i hve some length just not the length i want to do this style!!! thax for the vid it was great ... @ 902sharm they also hve pipe cleaners at dollar tree in the lil craft section 25 or 50 in the pack
OMG..... I freakin love you!!!! I've been growing my dreads for 2 1/2 years now and I just recently started curling them (well my sister curls them for me) but with rollers. I just think the pipe cleaners give the curls a much betterrrrrr....hmmmm whats the word, CURL! Thanks so much, I'm definitely subscribing! : )
@ Chescalocs- Took you an hour huh? Interesting. My hair is much longer, and I believe I spend more time making sure the entire lock from the root to the tip is oiled/gelled and such it takes me longer. 1 & 1/2 2 hours. So I'm wondering how much more time would it take to do my roots and roll? Maybe I should try it at a time when my roots don't need to be redone and see how long it takes me to complete it? :) No, I haven't seen the clip free loc maintenance video. I will have to check it out.
Good job!!!!pretty easy hair do yet funky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thumbs up!
cant wait to pull it it only if i can find a store to get them,,,,i had of micheals and walmart......but went to micheals yesterday but couldnt find them...please let me know of the specific section that i can get them from......will be much Appr!
@902sharm thanks! not sure where the pipe cleaners are exactly in the store, but they for sure have them. i was there today actually. next time, ask an employee to point you in the right direction instead of leaving empty handed. best of luck! let me know how they turn out!
How long did all of this take? You re-twisted your roots and wrapped your hair in the pipe cleaners. Normally how long would it take you to do your hair if you weren't rolling them on the pipe cleaners?
@vanilla317 i think this took me at least an hour. but now i'm a lot faster. have you watched my clip free loc maintenance video? it now takes me about half an hour to just retwist my hair. what i've been doing recently is retwisting my entire head before putting the pip cleaners in which i think makes the entire process go by a bit faster.
Just wanted to say that i tried the pipe cleaner curls for the second time. The first time I was not all that serious when doing it, but it came out pretty good. However after getting my locs re-tightened and getting some black pipe cleaners from Michael's I did it again for my birthday. I've gotten compliments on it everyday that I leave the house. I have had my locs for 3 years come April and have never styled them other than a ponytail if that counts. Thanks for sharing this style.
I have been watching your how-to videos and they have been sooo helpful, my ten year old daughter has dreads and I have been at a lost with finding different styles for her, i am gonna take a before and after pic of her hair, she wants pipe curls, but she has so much new growth, i cant wait to show you
Thanks so much for putting up your video. I have been trying to figure out how to get the curliness using the pipe cleaners. I used them before one loc per pipe cleaner and they can out like long tight spirals. It was cute but I have been wanting curls for so long. Your video was precise and funny..lol. Thanks again. I will try it tomorrow.
oooo-ive been soooo frustrated with my locs! I've been growing mine for 6 years and i've never seen this done before! Maybe there's hope that will urge me to keep them a lil bit longer! I can't wait to try it:) thanks for sharing!!
Hi! I'm 3 months into my loc journey and I am so excited! I want long, beautiful, healthy locs like yours!
but i have a question: How do you get rid of dandruff in your locs? i wash my hair, i scrub, i rinse and my hair feels clean. then i see dandruff on my scalp underneath my loc. i try to scratch it out, but i'm afraid i'd undo the loc. they're only babies. Help? <3
Wow I am amazed of the ease of these curls Much easier and less stress on locs than braiding I haven't separated the curls yet but expect great results thanks for the information. by the way do you have any info on maintaince my ends seem to be unraveling
Sorry I must have hit the enter button twice well I got my curls and they turned out ok I think I needed more than 25 pipe cleaners but for the most part the people at my job liked it I haven't separated them yet but I will thanks again
Hello my sistah in the Locs I just want to thank you I happened up on your site just looking on google for loc styles I have had my locs for about 4 years and mine are not as long as yours my hair is shoulder length now I started from nothing. Thank you for the tutorial and showing me how to I went out today and purchased the pipe cleaners I only bought the bag of 25 my hair is thick I probably should have bought two bags I just want to thank you finally some styles I can do myself .
Where is your video of the finished product? I am thinking about locking up but I am pretty terrified. I am scared my locks will become brittal and break off I want length like yours. Also right now I have my hair twisted and it has been in since thursday...It is fuzzy and it itches. How in the world am I going to keep locs in if this is already itching and I want to take it out? And my last question is since it is fuzzy I am losing my original grid is that how it is just going to be starting
@1mommy1988 at the end of the video i take the pipe cleaners out. those are the final results. i also included a video response that shows what the curls looked like a few days later after i separated them. if your hair is itching, it's not because of the twists. your scalp is probably dry. unfortunately, frizz comes with the territory when it comes to having locs. check out my happy birthday hair video to see a loc timeline so you can see how the hair matures
I tried this style twice the first time i did groupings like in the vid and they came out okay but i wasn't impressed. then I did it again rolling each loc separately on its own pipe cleaner...it took for ever but the results were great!!!
Can I do these with dry locs. I did them wet and they came out beautifully but will I be successful doing them dry and just leaving them in longer. wetting my hair loosens my roots.
@latrealhayden in my experience, dry locs won't hold a shape. if you don't want to completely wet your hair, you can dampen it using a spray bottle. that way, you can dampen the locs without losing the tightness in your roots. also, i recommend retwisting your roots (the way i did in this video) after you wash/wet your hair and put in the pipe cleaners.
just tried this style for a wedding this weekend. Did it two day prior to the wedding. Everyone swore i cut my hair at first glance lol. I love the results it's been what four days and the curls are still tight. I'm letting them naturally drop.
Thanks for the step by step tutorial..it has been very helpful.
O M G ... I am lov'n this. I watched this on Thursday night. Friday picked up the pipe cleaners and Saturday night did the do ... I've gotten so many compliments. Some even thought I cut my locs. They weren't that bad to sleep in either. Thank you so much for sharing this inexpensive way to style my locs.
Oh my goodness! This is so exciting. .this is my first time seeing this and now I'm on the j.o.b. to use pipe cleaners next curling. I currently use rod rollers and they can't be slept in no matter how I trick my mind. .I can't. .but pipe cleaners will be way easier to sleep in. .yay! Thanks
it all depends on how you are choosing to dry it..via hair dryer/sit unde dryer or air dry...sit under depends on how long your hair is and how full. If you have a lot more locks then a little bit longer...take breaks in between just for your scalp sake and to prevent over heating...air dry over night should do.
LOVE THIS STYLE!! I tried it for the 1st time this wknd, it came out so cute & the compliments have been rolling in:). My fear now is sleeping on them, fingers crossed that they stay for a good part of the wk!
@thatnygirl09 Great! Wrap your hair with a scarf and you should be able to keep the curls through the week. They also look really pretty once they start to fall and become loose. Enjoy!
i hope you don't mind answering again if you did already but i was too lazy to read all the comments. plus i wanted to watch the video of the separated curls but what was the product you used?
So looking forward to trying this out! I've been locked now for 2 1/2 years and I have a nice lenght. I typically go and have my hair maintenanced, but this will allow me to save some money and learn a different way of doing my hair! I will let you know how it turns out!
Thank you so much for this! I tried it and I LOVE my hair! I slept in the pipe cleaners and they didn't hurt at all. I will def. be doing this again and again.

Hi Chesca, this is a great video - I saw it a few months ago but couldn't find pipe cleaners! I finally got black ones last week and put them in on Sunday. My locs are similar in length to yours and everyone was asking if I cut my hair, lol. I took them out today and I LOVE IT!!! Will probably wear the Shirley Temple for a couple of days before loosening the curls. Thanks!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing with us. I've had my sisterlocks for 2 years now and I've never really styled... because I just don't know how to. It is now time to experiment. :)
Thanks so much for posting this. When my hair was shorter I used to rod my locs but now my hair is too long. Now I will be able to get my spiral curls on.

OMG..... I freakin love you!!!! I've been growing my dreads for 2 1/2 years now and I just recently started curling them (well my sister curls them for me) but with rollers. I just think the pipe cleaners give the curls a much betterrrrrr....hmmmm whats the word, CURL! Thanks so much, I'm definitely subscribing! : )

@ Chescalocs- Took you an hour huh? Interesting. My hair is much longer, and I believe I spend more time making sure the entire lock from the root to the tip is oiled/gelled and such it takes me longer. 1 & 1/2 2 hours. So I'm wondering how much more time would it take to do my roots and roll? Maybe I should try it at a time when my roots don't need to be redone and see how long it takes me to complete it? :) No, I haven't seen the clip free loc maintenance video. I will have to check it out.

@902sharm thanks! not sure where the pipe cleaners are exactly in the store, but they for sure have them. i was there today actually. next time, ask an employee to point you in the right direction instead of leaving empty handed. best of luck! let me know how they turn out!

How long did all of this take? You re-twisted your roots and wrapped your hair in the pipe cleaners. Normally how long would it take you to do your hair if you weren't rolling them on the pipe cleaners?
vanilla317 10 months ago
@vanilla317 i think this took me at least an hour. but now i'm a lot faster. have you watched my clip free loc maintenance video? it now takes me about half an hour to just retwist my hair. what i've been doing recently is retwisting my entire head before putting the pip cleaners in which i think makes the entire process go by a bit faster.

Just wanted to say that i tried the pipe cleaner curls for the second time. The first time I was not all that serious when doing it, but it came out pretty good. However after getting my locs re-tightened and getting some black pipe cleaners from Michael's I did it again for my birthday. I've gotten compliments on it everyday that I leave the house. I have had my locs for 3 years come April and have never styled them other than a ponytail if that counts. Thanks for sharing this style.

Thanks so much for putting up your video. I have been trying to figure out how to get the curliness using the pipe cleaners. I used them before one loc per pipe cleaner and they can out like long tight spirals. It was cute but I have been wanting curls for so long. Your video was precise and funny..lol. Thanks again. I will try it tomorrow.

Hi! I'm 3 months into my loc journey and I am so excited! I want long, beautiful, healthy locs like yours!
but i have a question: How do you get rid of dandruff in your locs? i wash my hair, i scrub, i rinse and my hair feels clean. then i see dandruff on my scalp underneath my loc. i try to scratch it out, but i'm afraid i'd undo the loc. they're only babies. Help? <3

Hello my sistah in the Locs I just want to thank you I happened up on your site just looking on google for loc styles I have had my locs for about 4 years and mine are not as long as yours my hair is shoulder length now I started from nothing. Thank you for the tutorial and showing me how to I went out today and purchased the pipe cleaners I only bought the bag of 25 my hair is thick I probably should have bought two bags I just want to thank you finally some styles I can do myself .
mznavy64 1 year ago
Where is your video of the finished product? I am thinking about locking up but I am pretty terrified. I am scared my locks will become brittal and break off I want length like yours. Also right now I have my hair twisted and it has been in since thursday...It is fuzzy and it itches. How in the world am I going to keep locs in if this is already itching and I want to take it out? And my last question is since it is fuzzy I am losing my original grid is that how it is just going to be starting
1mommy1988 1 year ago
@1mommy1988 at the end of the video i take the pipe cleaners out. those are the final results. i also included a video response that shows what the curls looked like a few days later after i separated them. if your hair is itching, it's not because of the twists. your scalp is probably dry. unfortunately, frizz comes with the territory when it comes to having locs. check out my happy birthday hair video to see a loc timeline so you can see how the hair matures

I tried this style twice the first time i did groupings like in the vid and they came out okay but i wasn't impressed. then I did it again rolling each loc separately on its own pipe cleaner...it took for ever but the results were great!!!

Can I do these with dry locs. I did them wet and they came out beautifully but will I be successful doing them dry and just leaving them in longer. wetting my hair loosens my roots.
latrealhayden 1 year ago
@latrealhayden in my experience, dry locs won't hold a shape. if you don't want to completely wet your hair, you can dampen it using a spray bottle. that way, you can dampen the locs without losing the tightness in your roots. also, i recommend retwisting your roots (the way i did in this video) after you wash/wet your hair and put in the pipe cleaners.

just tried this style for a wedding this weekend. Did it two day prior to the wedding. Everyone swore i cut my hair at first glance lol. I love the results it's been what four days and the curls are still tight. I'm letting them naturally drop.
Thanks for the step by step tutorial..it has been very helpful.
I will definitely do it again.

O M G ... I am lov'n this. I watched this on Thursday night. Friday picked up the pipe cleaners and Saturday night did the do ... I've gotten so many compliments. Some even thought I cut my locs. They weren't that bad to sleep in either. Thank you so much for sharing this inexpensive way to style my locs.

How long does that take to dry?
301sophi 1 year ago
@301sophi
it all depends on how you are choosing to dry it..via hair dryer/sit unde dryer or air dry...sit under depends on how long your hair is and how full. If you have a lot more locks then a little bit longer...take breaks in between just for your scalp sake and to prevent over heating...air dry over night should do.

LOVE THIS STYLE!! I tried it for the 1st time this wknd, it came out so cute & the compliments have been rolling in:). My fear now is sleeping on them, fingers crossed that they stay for a good part of the wk!

@thatnygirl09 Great! Wrap your hair with a scarf and you should be able to keep the curls through the week. They also look really pretty once they start to fall and become loose. Enjoy!

Hi Chesca, this is a great video - I saw it a few months ago but couldn't find pipe cleaners! I finally got black ones last week and put them in on Sunday. My locs are similar in length to yours and everyone was asking if I cut my hair, lol. I took them out today and I LOVE IT!!! Will probably wear the Shirley Temple for a couple of days before loosening the curls. Thanks!!!!
