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.

Hair How To: The Duo Buns with inverted top bun

Happy Sunday beautiful people, Excited to show you another loc-do how to. As usual, I posted the picture below on the Locitude Instagram page and I got a few comments suggesting I replicate it. I thought to myself challenge accepted! The loc-do looks like two donut buns, which is supposedly simple but note that the top bun is inverted. So let's take care of the easy part first. I've always known how to do a donut, but just incase you don't know how, I found a video (below) that shows you how to get the perfect donut bun. Now that we are done with the basics of how to get a donut bun let's do a step by step on how to get the full loc hairstyle: 1. Part your locs in two sections to form the two buns, sections should be similar to the picture above; 2. Do a donut bun on the rear section. 3. Set aside some locs on the perimeter of locs for the top bun. 4. Leaving the locs that have been set aside do another donut bun on the top of your head. 5. ...

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 ...

A Decade of Locs - Who am I?

Hello there, It has been more than a minute on the blog and social media generally, I know; but I won't bore you with promises of not going missing again 'cos I have been as unpredictable as 2020. As unpredictable as I can be, I realize I have an ability to follow through eventually. So, I am hanging on to my strengths rather than my weaknesses 😊 and writing this post.  For as long as I can remember having my locs, I have always imagined that one day when my locs are long enough, I would take a picture rising out of the ocean with my hair as my top covering. I have spoken a lot about this over the years.  Fam, I did it!!!  On one hand, my boobs cooperated, they chilled on sagging and my locs eventually caught up. On the other hand, I also wanted rock hard abs, more like a tummy as flat as a drawing board while that didn't happen, my tummy is not an eyesore, right? I sucked belle. I tried, honestly I really tired. Unfortunately, I won't be sharing the topless picture...
