Product Review::Lock Loops

Superman bought me 2 sets of Lock Loops! Not familiar? Here is the link to their website. This is NOT a sponsored post- just sharing the website information.

Cost: $9.95 per package (I ordered 2)

Qty: 30 per package (Again, I ordered 2)

Shipping Time: Despite so many online raves about fast shipping- mine came after the expected delivery date. It is December, so I will chalk that up to the increased volume of shipped items.

Ease of use: Extremely easy! If you can use a roller- you can use a lock loop.

Ease of removal: Extremely easy! If you can remove a roller- you can remove a lock loop.

Now the REALLY important item...
Sleep Comfort: I almost forgot I had them in my hair. They were SOFT and light weight. No sharp edges or hard bumps.

Drying Time: ~10 hours (air dried, approximately 15-20 locs per tool, total of 22 tools used)

Note: I set my hair on a whim- just to practice before I record a demo/tutorial in the future. My hair was shampooed 1 week ago and I used water with a few drops of peppermint oil to dampen my locs.

Cons: the tools did not "bounce back" to their original shapes, but I don't think it will affect their performance

Pros: easy to sleep on, curl size is controlled by how many locs per tool- so no need for multiple "sizes", and inexpensive

Lessons Learned/Going Forward: I will probably use about 15 locs per tool next time to get bigger curls.
