Loc Appreciation Day Lagos, 2016 - Save the Date - 25th June 2016

Hello Everyone,

I know it’s been a minute! More like a few months... but this silence has been worth it. I have spent time growing a business and understanding entrepreneurship. I’m not there yet, there’s still so much to learn. I have been so busy working at the Locitude studio, either making other people with locs happy or procrastinating about how much more stuff I can do to make them happy. I’ve been in this circle for a while now that I almost forgot that Loc Appreciation Day is around the corner.

This year is going to be a lot of fun as usual. All anyone needs to make a party rock is 2 or more loc heads. Now imagine 50, 100 or maybe 200 in the same space appreciating one thing in common…. It’s going to be one hell of a party and again I’m glad to host. We (team locitude) have decided to switch things up a bit this year, bring some “new” to the table and also keep it simple as we all know as economy take be now.

We have gone back to the drawing board and looked at previous Loc Appreciation Day Events and this year we have one mission only and that is to celebrate the Nigerian-ness of our hair especially in these times where we are all looking to be and buy Nigerian.

What to Expect...

- The Made in Nigeria panel discussion

- Green carpet moments with Battabox

- Free cocktails for the first 20 guests

- Free scalp massage from experienced Tricologist

- Free and quick styling sessions

- Networking

- Giveaways from Kinky Apothecary

- Locitude Magazine – Made in Nigeria issue

- Much more and definitely a great party!!!

I’m excited already, dusting off my party shoes and finding the Isale Eko party girl in me (she’s never far away). Let’s celebrate Loc Appreciation Day, 2016!!!!!!

It’s going down at Liquid Hub, 2 Olawalw Daodu Street, Off Kingsway Road, Ikoyi. Time: 4pm ptompt and everyone is invited.

Share the word and see you there!!!

Your Loc Head

7 Locitude #LocInspiration Hair Styles for Short Locs.

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. (You can use only one strand of loc only or 3-4 depending on how thick your locs are) Step 2: Take the ends of your strands, fold them towards the roots making a loop Step 3: Fasten the base of the loop with a tiny rubber band. 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.

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...
