The Locitude Blog!

Hello Peeps, Yes, I know I'm doing good with updating the blog regularly, thank you, thank you, no photographs, no autographs in short no graphs, I'm just trying hard to score high on my performance review tomorrow. Hehehe.... ok on to serious matters, you might be wondering what KUI Care is, if you don't already know, let me tell you. KUI Care is a proudly  Made In Nigeria hair product range specifically for natural hair. I was opportuned  to attend a sample party for said product hosted by Savvy And Chic Hair Beauty Hub early December 2016 and it was a pleasure to meet Majiri Otobo, the creator of KUI Care. Gosh! she has such a winning personality and I will go ahead to famz her here just like I did at the party. We are birthday mates and both our mothers are Ijaw :) In other words we are sisters. Dabs of Naija Hair Can Grow  blog captured excerpts and pictures of the entire event and you can read all about it here . Even though KUI wasn't created for...

Hiya, How you all doing? Here's a quick on for y'all. I chose locs because I didn’t want to stress over my hair and it has worked out very well for me these past 7 years, however there are times when a fresh retwist is needed and you don’t want to be bothered by the salon or simply don’t have the time. Below is a short tutorial on how to get a neat look in minutes. I shot this video with Prime TV mid last year and thought it never made the cut only for me to find it all so randomly on YouTube about a month ago. Hope you like and drop a comment if you please.

Hello People, One twelfth of the year has gone by already, time indeed waits for no one and on that note here are some tips that can help you retain your loc length. 1. Less is More. This is my watch word. It's really simple and easy the less goes into your hair the better it grows, Stick to a very simple routine, shampoo, condition, oil your scalp and hair, moisturise (using water mostly) and really everything else is jara (extra). 2. Think Moisture. Dryness plays a big role in loc breakage, therefore combating dryness is key to retaining your already grown hair. Water is the best medicine for thirst, we all know this! Whilst a cold frizzy drink may relief the throat of instant thirst, we also know that moments after, the after taste makes you need even more water to quench the initial thirst. Enough metaphors, I'm sure you get my point , water is your number one moisturiser, wash frequently (according to your lifestyle). Spritz a mix of water (90- 95%) an...

Day 1  Dear Diary, My hair chalk has arrived, found them on Konga and it didn't take too long to get delivered. I'm excited to see how it turns out on my locs. I will be putting it on only a few stands because I think it would be cooler that way, besides I can't imagine my whole head green, purple or blue. I'm crazy but not that crazy. Day 2 Hello Diary,  I'm getting my hair washed at Locitude Studio because frankly speaking it is less stressful than DIY. It's my first wash of 2017 and I'm so looking forward to having water on my scalp. The moment of hair chalking has come and oh my it's quite a messy process, but look how vibrant the green is on my locs. 3 strands down and I'm thinking that's enough. One colour only is boring so let me add some purple, on 3 more strands :). I swear I'm stopping now, no more. Ade, experimenting with hair chalk. I stopped at Begavet and found Jumoke whom I haven't seen this year and guess...

Phew!!! This post is long long long overdue, but there's no better way to officially open the Studio for the year without writing about it, so here we are. Where do I start? There's no time like the present, So let's start from now. All new Locitude Studio. The Locitude Studio is one of several arms of the Locitude Empire (Community - Empire was just too tempting to say). It is currently my favorite part and where I spend most of my time. Locitude Studio is mostly fun and the meeting point of loc heads. The best part of the Studio are the people who come through, everyone is unique, special, down to earth and ready to mingle. Besides being a fun place we offer loc care services, we help you get started on your loc journey and help you groom them healthily to maturity. Locitude Studio! Location:  Suite 44, Dolphin Plaza, Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi. Open Hours: Tues - Fridays: 10am - 7pm Saturdays: 9am - 6pm Services offered: Loc Consul...

Hello You, We took our time to wish you a Happy New Year 2017!!!. The Interweb has certainly become an interesting place this past year. It has helped expand our audience in more ways than we imagined. 2016 was also the year of the "Buhari times" otherwise known as when the inevitable Nigerian Recession finally hit the apparent middle class that had grown in previous years. For us however, it was a time to learn, grow and define who we are as Locitude; and 2017 is the year when we take it to the next level. We thank you in advance for staying with us and supporting us through our journey 'cos it's yours too. Who we are? We started out as a "just-for-fun" Blog in 2014 but over the years we have evolved to become a community for people with locs, a dynamic force which depends on loc enthusiasts. We are now more than a blog or hair studio, we are an eco-system, a melting point of diverse individuals; entrepreneurs, workers, students, se...
