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 hair pins or make one or more flat twist on the side of your locs
to achieve this look.
#LocInspiration no. 3: Accessorize
Accessories alone add style to baby locs, a hair band with a big bow on the side
can help distract eyes from your locs when you are in-between re-twists.
#LocInspiration no. 4: Curly locs,
Yes you can get pipe cleaners in your baby/short locs too.
The good news is that your hair dries faster and the look is equally fabulous.

 Bantu Knots.
Beauty of the hairstyle is that it is a twofer. Once you let the knots down you get
nice wavy curls.
Flat Twist into a Patewo Updo
Always works.

#LocInspiration no. 7: Curly up do

Just had to add this one of me.
Sometimes you just have to let those locs down and rock them with a big old smile and some attitude :)

I was motivated by a couple of Locitude readers/followers to do this one. If you try any of these styles don't forget to rock those locs with an attitude, take a selfie and tag us on facebook, instagram or twitter - We are @Locitude.

+ It was my birthday last Tuesday :), didn't have time to do anything special to my locs :(. It was a fantastic day all together. TheLocitude.com launched, work wasn't too hectic on that day, tons of birthday wishes, prayers, and a surprise - ish dinner parry. I'll be sure to say some more and share a couple of pictures in that much procrastinated post on the new accessories I got a while back.

Happy weekend everyone.

Your loc head,
Ade.

  1. When weed is ingested in food or drink, the short-term effects take longer to manifest, usually between 1/2 to 1 hour, and can last up to 4 hours. When THC enters the brain, it acts on the brain’s reward system, making the user feel euphoric, or “high.” A marijuana user may feel pleasant sensations, colors and sounds may seem more vivid, and time may appear to move slowly. THC is stored in fat cells in the body. This is why cleansing one’s system of THC can take longer for someone with a higher body fat percentage. The lower your body fat percentage, the quicker you’ll be able to detox from THC in less than 30 days. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/

Hair How To: Loc Loops/Petals in 4 easy steps.

Hello, #TGIF #ItsTheWeekendBaby #PhotoShootModeActivated #Locitude #HairHowTo #LocsAndAttitude #LocWorkshop #ComingSoon #OkReadBelow. 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. 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
