I use the Lock Loops for the first time on Saturday, and I also did a review comparison to the Soft Spike as well. For this style I went the route of pining my curls to the side without doing any twists (wanted to see if I could). Success! It didn't look bad, and I was thinking that I going to try to do more style with my sisterlocks without using twists form time to time. I use bobby pins to push all the curls to one side. I do seem to favor one side for my falling curls though. Anyone here has a favorite way to part their sisterlocks or even how you lay your hair? Don't you feel strange if you don't style your hair that way?
