Step 1: Dampening and Sectioning

First, make sure to dampen your hair by spritzing some water on it before you curl. This will help your hair stay flexible, preventing breakage.

Avoid soaking your hair wet as it harms your hairstyle.

Start by separating your locs locs into five equal sections: two parts at the back, one at the top of your head and two on each the sides.

This step will also help you work on each section easily without inadvertently messing up the other sections.

Step 2: Mousse Applying and Curling

You should focus on one section of your hair first. Use a brush or hands(with gloves) to apply mousse onto the entire section you’re working on.

Then, just gather two to three locs together you’re going to be rolling and loosely wrap them around a flexi rod with the roots facing down (they will naturally separate as you roll)

Place the locs about 2 inches from the ends and roll them up in a clockwise direction, overlapping both of the ends to secure the new curl.

Depending on the style of your locs, you can stop at the middle of them or curl them all the way up to reach the scalp

To keep the locs in place and form a curl, bend the 2 ends of the rods until both are curled into one. Repeat for each loc.

Step 3: Protecting them with a satin cap and leave them overnight

Leaving your dreads overnight can help them dry more evenly, reducing the chances of frizz and knots.

Satin caps are good for sleepers with dreads to push down on top of the head to hold the curls in place.

Checking in on your dreadlocks the next morning to see if they’re completely dry can help reduce the amount of time you need to invest in curling or styling.

Many people prefer to air dry their dreads, but it can take up to 2-3 hours. If your locs are still damp and they were previously washed, you should wait until they are completely dry before re-styling them.

After that, you should remove your locs from the plastic rollers. Your curls will come out beautiful and perfect, just like they did on the packaging.

You have the option to air dry or use a blow dryer and install them back into your hair.

How to Curl Locs without Rollers?
