I decided to spray/mist my Sisterlocks with water to remove the curls produced by the pipe cleaners. I decided to try extra large sponge water, this time, to curl my hair. Here I am all rolled up:
Hopefully, the curls will turn out fine for church in the morning. I've been used to using the Lock Loops that produce tight curls which fall over time. I know, by using the extra large sponge rollers, the curls will not be as tight. I just hope they turn out looking decent.
I had mentioned that I experienced some slippage and unraveling with the locks in the nape area after washing. Well, I'm happy to report that, after braiding/banding/washing my hair today, all my little locks in the nape area held up. Yippee!!! Take a look:
The picture below shows what I used to secure the locks in place for washing:
These little babies worked wonders on preventing slippage and unraveling. They are miniature snaps I purchased from my local beauty supply store. I took 2 little locks at a time, twisted them together, banded them with a small rubber band, then secured them with a miniature snap. I did this to the locks in the entire nape area. It was a little time consuming doing this, but it was for a good cause...my locks stayed put and did not slip or unravel.
Well...I hope I wake up in the morning with lovely curls. We will see......

Hi KiKi,
I just got my front and sides installed saturday which took 8 hours, we will finish up on monday. It's interesting that you are using the clips/snaps in the nape from washing, I used the same methods for my last coloring before installation without the band but it worked well for me as well.
I'm so glad I came across this post. My edges are shot from too tight braids and perm breakage. I also have a bit of breakage at the nape of my neck so will have little baby sisterlocks back there. I will DEF use your clippy method, thanks so much, i was stressing on how I would braid and band lil tiny locks.
