The LOC Method: My Experimentation
So I want to try the LOC method again to see what type of results I can get with my hair. I have low porosity hair so retaining moisture is an absolute must.

Tips for a Successful Bantu Knot Out

Twist & Curl Without Perm Rods or Rollers

Twisted Top Knot Bun on Stretched Hair
I stretched/straightened my hair this past weekend with a combo of the flat iron and foam flexi rods. I like the sleeker look it gave my hair style. The technique I used is the same as in this style: http://hypnotic-glamour.net/blog/?p=29 This is a three day old stretch
