Happy Belated New Year Everyone,

I know I'm the last person saying Happy New Year considering we are already in the month of February, but just like the image below says, I feared that my wishes on New Year might get lost amidst all others so wishing you a little late; but better late than never, right?


I trust you've all been on to a fantastic start in 2015 and if you are in Nigeria I'm sure you've also been caught in the middle election debates. Well I have been up to a crazy 7 day routine and trying to see how to find the perfect balance between Work, Blogging, Locitude, The Locitude Studio, Relationships, my dreams and Life in general.

In finding balance, I realise that one has to look back to see where we are coming from to see how far we have come and  where we are going. So this is to say a Big THANK YOU to everyone who in one way or another has contributed to "Locitude". My list is endless, but I would go ahead to mention a few people starting with my boyfriend Akan Umoden for not letting me cut my hair, Dabs of NaijaHairCanGrow and Savvy Chic, Deola Ibikunle, Atilola of African Naturalistas, Bassey Ikpi, Helen Orimolade, Alma Chukwu, John Iseghohi of Rulz, Kazeem Onafuwa, Damilola Lawal, Niyya Tenee of Locs Revolution, Qochemist, Babajide Aroyewun, Deyemi Akande of Black and Loud, Segun Adewusi, Inyang Otu, Oghogho Kamah, Segun Focus of Hair Villagers, Seyi Allen, Omotayo Oshodi, Ani Simon-Hart; everyone who has let me share their loc journey at the Locitude Studio, everyone who made Locitude a name to remember in 2014 and my mom who is now a loc head (who would have thought). Please if I left your name out know that I love you and I'm grateful still. :).

There are dreams for 2015 and I'm battling whether or not to list them out here or list them out independently so none of them loose attention they deserve. I'll just go ahead and list stuff that's in the pipeline.

7 Locitude #LocInspiration Hair Styles for Short Locs.

By
Hello Loc Heads, This one is obviously for fellow loc heads in the awkward phase of their locs. The awkward phase is usually sometime around Day 1 - Year 2; when your head is full of scalp after a fresh re-twist and your locs seem too scanty, when your hair unravels after a fresh re-twist before you say can say Jack Robinson; when you think water is your worst enemy because it's preventing your locs from forming; when you are having a bad hair day and you feel like - Oh God if only I could get my hair into a ponytail it would do. I can go on and on... but instead I present you with 7 Style Ideas for short locs. #LocInspiration no. 1: Loc loops or Loc petals. Reminds me of a cropped hair cut, this style looks classy and elegant. Can be worn to an event. It's also neat and can help with a more serious/subtle look. #LocInspiration no. 2: Pinned Up side. Even though it is just pinning up one side of your locs, it always make a difference. A touch Style. You can use ha...

Seems this hobby is becoming a business sooner than I imagined. Sorry back to the Loc loop Tutorial... Step 1: Select two strands of locs close to each other.

Make sure it's not too tight. Step 4: Style to your taste ...

How I Keep My Loc Curls in Check - The 3 step process.

By
Hey y'all, Today was a good me day, got to hang out with my friends from way back. I was so so so glad I did. It was much fun and I am still rocking my locs in zigzag curls with an attitude. Just thought to drop a quick one on how I have maintained my locs for a whole week without loosing them. Rocking my Zigzag curls, one week in. Wore them down the whole time. Here's my simple 3 step process. 1. The Satin Bonnet Sleep in a Satin bonnet or Scarf. The primary reason for this is to retain moisture and ensure your locs are not picking up lint from your beddings. The added advantage is that is helps to retain your curls when you are asleep as well. :) 2. The Shower Cap + Tee Shirt Take a bath/shower in a shower cap. reinforced with a tee shirt. Yep, if you are trying to retain your curls water isn't your friend. Once water touches your loc curls they are gone. So I use a tee shirt to hold my shower cap up to ensure I don't get water on...
