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, senior citizens and children; our exchange creates growth, economic opportunities and collaboration.

What we do?

We love everything locs, and help create a positive and thriving community for people with this very special thing in common... Our services are born out of the needs of loc heads

- Salon services at the Locitude Studio, currently located at Suite 44, Dolphin Plaza, Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi.
- Content production that brings the versatility of locs to your daily life, via social media, blog and our magazine.
- Event Organisation; the official host of Loc Appreciation Day, Lagos and Loc Workshop & Stylist competition.
- We build connections and collaborations within our community, you never know who you'll meet or what you'll learn on our platform.
- We try as we can to de-stigmatize locs.
- We are always happy to learn new things.

Why 2017 will be the best year yet.

Grateful for the holidays and the opportunity of kicking off our shoes and relaxing, we have planned a lot for this new year and we are even more excited for all the possibilities and opportunities that we are yet to realize. 

Starting with the obvious..

1. Loc Appreciation Day, 2017 will be an even bigger and wider world event this year. Save the date  - 24th of June, 2017.
2. Loc Workshop and Stylist Competition is coming back in the first quarter of this year.
3. Locitude Magazine is also coming back again and here to stay.
4. I can hear The Locitude Web Series hovering loudly somewhere in the corner.
5. In addition to our signature oils more signature products are in the pipeline
6. Watch out for UYAI - you'll know when you see it.
7. and lastly an even better us.

The Locitude Studio is also getting a face lift over the holidays  *dancing like Sola Sobowale in the Wedding party*... Writing all about it in our next post so please stay tuned.

Happy New Year again and here is to a wonderful year ahead. :)

Your Loc Head

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...

I'm obviously excited, payments for my shipment on brand new dada products stock has finally gone through (It is not easy to be a Nigerian #That'sAll), now waiting for the products to get here. I hope it doesn't take forever. I found this FREE accounting app called waves app, which is helping keep my spend together. I usually get excited when I learn new stuff, so yaaaayi.

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...
