Look of the Month
Hair pro Maria Thompson of Twist & Curves in West Hartford, CT, demonstrates how to fashion an amazing loc upsweep…
Step 1
Begin this look by setting locs on pipe cleaners to achieve stunning spirals. Once the ringlets are set, take out the pipe cleaners and divide the locs up into smaller sections so they can be flat-twisted around the crown—moving from one side to the other side.
Step 2
When flat twisting locs, make sure that one strand is left loose to help secure the final updo. That loose loc is wrapped around the rest of the locs twice to create a ponytail, then secured with a bobby pin to help hold the upsweep in place.
Step 3
Be sure to insert the bobby pin in an upward direction to avoid scalp irritation. Also, try using a covered elastic band to secure the ponytail into a pompadour, while the rest of the ponytail can be tucked under and secured with a broach to help go from day to night.
Step 4: Finish
Protect these gorgeous upswept locs by wearing a satin bonnet at night to help the look last for up to a month. The locs can also be taken down and worn in the spirals that were created using pipe cleaners. Talk about a flexible and fun style!
