Locitude Interview on TVContinental - 25th September, 2017.

Hello people,

It's been an interesting turn of events since Loc Appreciation Day, 2017 and Locitude has had good fortune of catching the eye of the media. On the 19th of August, 2017 I had the pleasure of speaking at a TEDx event here in Lagos and that was awesome. The official video is not yet out and it still makes me so nervous as I desperately want to see it, but hey I have no choice but to wait till it is out.

Baby steps have brought us from 2015 to this point where there is value in choosing to wear your hair loc'd. The conversation has evolved from a hairstyle that is largely unacceptable to a conscious effort to embrace that which is truly ours as people of African decent. The conversation must continue, to the point where being you has no other label but to be you.

I know you are here to see the video so I'll let you. Please click on the link below the image and fast forward to 1hr:17mins of the video. Titi was pleasant and easy to vibe with.

The entire TVC crew were super pleasant, resourceful and professional, Christie, Ozi and Seun who is a fellow loc head. Looking forward to our follow up interview where I will do some live demonstrations with a model.

Ok people, I will be here keeping it loc'd with an attitude, till later, xoxo.

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. ...

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.
