Linda's Hair Journey to Locs - Appointment No. 2

Hello people,

A lot has been going on for me, in business and in my personal life and it's a lot to be grateful for. Today, is going to be all about Linda's locs while I take a private moment to savor the on-goings in my life.

So, I called Linda to check on her locs a couple of weeks after our first appointment and to my surprise she said everything had loosened. "OMG, what did you do?" where the words that fell out of my mouth. Linda had washed her locs twice on her own in about 2 weeks of having them; because I had told her "Locs are freedom" and she should never let her locs hold her back in life. Well, I really believe those words but I didn't expect so much independence in less than 2 weeks.

I asked her to please come on over to the studio so we can but her twists back in and her locs can begin to set.

This appointment took place on the 12th of August, 2017.
Linda's locs after 2 and a half weeks and 2 washes.
Fortunately Linda's parts were still intact and all we had to do was continue her locs using the palm roll method.

Fresh out of the dryer

Linda got our traditional first loc style
which helps keep locs  in place for longer.
Linda also talks about her dandruff problem which we have to work on through her journey, wearing wigs and how she feels about her locs after 2 weeks and a bit. You can listen here.

Got to run now. Work and life calls.

How you enjoy this series and I really do hope it encourages someone out there, locs are more beautiful than we tend to perceive.

Much love, I will be here keeping it loc'd with an attitude as always.

Your loc head
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. ...

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...
