I haven't been keeping up with the blog (as you can see), but I do have some updated photos of this look (did it again last Nov/Dec). http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2157143&id=5010862&l=f34c97e554 As far as 10 inch length, pipe cleaners come very long (at least 12 inches). I simply cut mine to size as needed. In this post, I had to cut them in half, but as my hair grew longer, I cut at various places depending on the length of the locs. Thanks for your comment Shinika.

I have regular dreads but they are VERY long now. They are sitting on my butt now to be exact so styling is no longer as easy as it once was. I am now pretty limited to the straight natural look or the crinkle look by braiding while wet and unbraiding. I have been trying to find something new w/o having to cut them and I stumbled across the wrap-a-loc website. The price of that product is RIDICULOUS! I am also a DIY so I kept browsing to find a cheaper way and here I find your blog. Girl that PC look is FABULOUS. Do you know if they come in a 10inch length? I am at work now but as soon as I get off I am on my way to Michael's. Thank you sister! Girl, I think you have started something! I have regular dreads but they are VERY long now.

I too have used the bendable rod and the look was wuite but only lasted for two or three day. A girlfriend of mine's told me about Wrap-A-Loc and I went on the website and I was amazed on how the price for just the bundle pack. But I am a DIY myself and if I can get the same look for cheaper price then that is what I am going to try. Thank you for confirming my choice for me. I will purchase the PC and post what the outcome was and again thank you for the suggestion. Thank you for writing these post for me.

I LOVE pipecleaner curls better than anything!! I have used the WrapALoc tools and I like them too. However, in YOUR experience, I feel like you bought those WrapALoc tools that went into your hair for $75. That was just wrong... Anywhoo... NECESSITY IS the mother of invention, is IT NOT??! You live and you learn. Thanks for sharing your experience and your newly acquired PC techniques with all your readers. Girl, you WORKED those pipecleaners!!

I have purchased the wrapalocs and find that the tips of even the new ones come off. Good to know there's a cheaper and just as effective option out there. I don't use it often because it takes almost 2 hours to put them in. I’m glad to know that the pipe cleaners did not all get caught or put lint in your locs.
