So excited... I'm back with another Loc how to. So it was my friend's wedding yesterday and I'm was honoured to be her maid of honour. It had been a while since I've been on a bridal train and I honestly forgot how much work it is; however I had fun doing all of it and was so so so so so so happy for the new Mrs. I know you are here for a loc how to; let me not bore you with 7 things you need to know before being a "Chief Bridesmaid".
After accepting Gloria's request, I started thinking of what to do with my locs I settled for the Chescalocs bridal hairdo, but my boyfriend suggested I try out the her two strand twist bun instead. See Chesca's how to video below)
My locs aren't half as long as Chesca's, so I had to improvise. After getting my locs into two strand twist all round as per video above, I realised there was no way I could form that gorgeous bun with my length so I resorted to doing a basket weave behind with my twist and molded it into a pinless up do.
And here's how it turned out... Had to take all the pictures myself, so get ready for my selfie parade.
Reflected Selfie :)
Really liked this view of the loc updo.
Another Reflected selfie.
Basket weave (didi) /top rear view.
That's what the sides were looking like.
Pleasantly fascinated by the fascinator
As if my day wasn't hectic enough, I decided to go to Salsa,
so I switched out the fascinator for
this shiny band I got from max a while back.
Before I forget here's a video from Jungle Barbie on how I got the concept for the pinless up do, although she twisted up the back of her locs as opposed to the basket weave I had on.
Note, it is extremely difficult taking selfies with any type of camera that doesn't have a screen facing you and yes I took a lot of pictures without me in them before I could get these ones. #phew. All pictures were taken after I got back from the wedding, my make up was intact I guess that was what gingered me to go Salsa.
I forget the name of the make up artist now, but will update with her details and a link to her blog once I get them.
Next post would be on the new accessories I got from Max and the thermal cap that finally arrived. Did it meet my expectations? You'd have to stay tuned. + October 17, 2014 is a date you need to save, more details coming soon.
Have a wonderful week ahead and keep it loc'd with an attitude.
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...
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 ...
Hello there, Happy new month for starters :), I'm going to have to be very awake this September, so there will be no need to wake me up when September ends :). I never like to go into whatever topic I raise straight away, I like gist, so forgive me if I always gist a little before I go into it. I can't help it, I am a proud plumpy African woman... before I over digress, l had to control the urge to watch other reviews before this post so that my opinion is not swayed in any way. This is my honest review of the Jamaican Mango & Lime Shampoo and Conditioner. I have used this products religiously for about three years, so I guess I am qualified to review. Jamaican Mango & Lime Tingle Shampoo Shampoo: Function - Very Good Smell - Very Good Feeling - Excellent Lather - Good Just as it's name goes the "tingle" in the shampoo is real; and that's the best part of it. The Tingle Shampoo, gives you a tingly feeling on you...
