Get ready with me. One, two. One, two, three, release. Let's release these pipe cleaner curls on my locks. This is like my third time ever doing pipe cleaner curls and it just made me fall in love with my hair all over again. I've been locked for 10 years now and honestly, I'm ready to cut my hair. Bold. That's why I don't have a fresh retwist when I did these because I'm trying to have some new growth from my big chop journey. But I can't lie, these curls make me reconsider cutting my hair. I told myself this summer would be the summer to cut my hair but I don't know, I don't know. I'm reconsidering. I even added some lock sprinkles to jazz it up a little bit and it's just giving me a new feel. I get a lot of compliments and questions about my curls and pipe cleaners are gonna do it every time. Palm rolls don't work for me. The flexi rods don't work for me. Pipe cleaners are the way to go. And it's a cheaper choice. I literally put these pipe cleaners in and leave them in for days at a time, going about my business. And then when I take them down, my curls last for weeks. Might I add, this was a dry set. I didn't wash my hair, my hair was completely dry. I just used the Nairobi setting foam before rolling my hair. I don't even know why I'm looking back here because the back of my hair is not my business. But yes, these curls are changing my mind. I just might add my color back in here and stay locked a little longer. Bye.
