From Pin Curls to Sexy Swoop | Dreadlock hairstyle

From 1920/30's vintage to  70's throwback

These hairstyles were done on freshly washed dreads, I did not re-twist my dreads afterwards only oiled my scalp with natural oils(coconut, sweet almond, grape seed, etc.) and went to work.

1920/30's vintage

To achieve pin curls, I took small sections of damp dreads and started to roll my dreads upwards into a coil all the way to my scalp, laid it flat then secured it with two bobby pins. I continued on until my whole head was finished. You can find tutorials on how to do pin curls on dreads from @BronzeGoddess01, @chescalocs, and @JungleBarbie to name a few.

I rocked that look for 2-3 days I could have stayed longer but I wanted to see how my hair was going to look.

Check out my video on the complete story behind the look.

1970's throwback

After leaving my pin curls in for about 3 days I took them down and this was the result. Sexy swoop bang and body for days. If I would have left well enough alone I and left the pin curls in for even more bouncy curls. 


Either way I am pleased with the results I attained. I will definitely do this two for one hair style again. 











Check out my YouTube video on both hairstyles.

Always remember Consistency is the key to change.
