Okay peeps this is my simple instructions (hopefully) on how to DIY. So im gonna tell you the pattern needed only if your are pattern 3 or 4 (because that's all i know!) and how to make a quick and easy tool.
THE TOOL
All you need are a safety pin, masking tape, scissors (the sectioning clips and snips are for when your ready to get going through those luscious locs)
Firstly unwind the safety pin leaving one side bent
Then close in the loose end and tape around with the masking tape
Lastly cut of the excess and there you are your own TOOL!!!! ( now wasn't that easy)
THE PATTERN
Right i need you to look at a clock in your minds eye. Done that....Good!!! Now focus on the 12, 3 6 and 9 because these are the directions that you will be heading in
PATTERN 3
The structure for pattern 3 is 9, 6, 9, 12 So this is what you do.
- Place your loc through the tool
- Your gonna take your tool to the position of 3 o'clock and push it through to 9 o'clock
- Next take the tool to 12 o'clock and push it down to 6 o'clock
- Then we go back to 3 o'clock and push it through to 9
- Lastly we go from 6 o'clock up to 12
- Repeat until tightened
IMPORTANT INFO
When pushing the tool through make sure you pull it down towards your locs so that way you can ensure that the pattern you put in starts where the last one ended!!! Otherwise you end up with a hole.!!
PATTERN 4
- Follow the first to steps of pattern 3
- Then you go from 9 0'clock to 3 o'clock
- And then lastly from 6 to 12
TIPS
- Use the sectioning clips to seperate out what your going to be doing
- Ensure that the loc you are attempting to do is clear from any neighbouring hair
- Use the snips to free any caught locs or strands of hair (Trust me it will happen)
