Spiral rod sets This set can be done with rods, flexi-rods, or curl reformers of all sizes. Hair is wrapped around a vertical rod, moving up the rod in a spiral movement.
Bantu knot-out style Knots can be opened and released to create wavy and fuller loose curls.
Coils Also known as comb twist; small sections of natural hair that are gelled and spiraled with fingers or a comb to create individual formations of tight, cylindrical coils.
Coil-out Once hair is comb coiled into individual coils, then dried completely, they are uncoiled or neatly unraveled to create a fuller coily textured Afro style.

Locks Also known as dreadlocks or locs; separate networks of curly, textured hair that have been intertwined and meshed together.
