Hair How To: Adding Volume To Your Loc Bun.

Hey peeps,

It's been a minute, here's a quick one in pictures to fulfill my silent (not anymore) commitment to have not less than 4 posts up a month... So I love my locs best when they are rough and not freshly twisted, however if not styled it gets a bit too rough and my bobo no go gree. Wearing my hair in a high bun is one my favorite ways to keep it together, but what is a bun without volume. Here's showing you how I've learnt to get a little extra volume.

You'll need.
1. 2 Hair bands, Large ones.
2. A bandana, or a small piece of cloth, or a clean sock.
3. Pins (may not be required).

Before we start, Here's the final look we are going for.
Hold your locs into a ponytail above your head.

Remember, your bands should be loose to avoid thinning locs.


Fold up your bandana.

Secure it firmly around the base of your ponytail.

With a small knot.
The bandana is what help's with the volume.
Let your locs down around the bandana so it's not visible.

Start wrapping your locs to form a donut.

Keep wraping...

... until you have a decent bun.

Secure with your second hair band

Make sure the band is firm.
You should end up with something like this.

Tuck loose ends in.

As neatly as possible.
And Voila, you are done...
If your locs are not as long you can use pins to hold loose ends down and for even better results you can wrap this with a scarf so all your edges are in place. To see a variation of this style, check out the Duo Bun how to.

Hope you enjoyed this... Keep it loc'd with an Attitude :).

More product reviews coming soon...

Till later,

Ade.

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.

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
