The Locitude Blog!

Hello there, It's been really quiet on the blog this year :| and the usual come back is along the lines of I'm sorry, I'm back now and OMG where is the year running to? Well this time I'm not making any promises of being back to blogging, neither am I sorry for not writing, but I'm sorry and lastly it has been a really  good year so far, I'm happy I am making the best of it. You must be wondering what this blog title is about, I'll do you the pleasure of not wasting anymore time blabbing. I have changed jobs subconsciously every three years (Architecture - eCommerce - Entrepreneurship) in the past 9 years post my masters education and Locitude formally turned 3 years in July of 2018, so yes I had an itch.  An itch to see if there's something  else out there that I need to get my hands and mind into. #Phew! I feel like cheater just typing these words, whilst I never, not in the slightest bit considered completely moving on from Locitude, I in

Hello World, February is about ending and I hope you are all kicking a$$ in 2018 already. This year has been interesting, upbeat and fast paced on my end. I guess this is how you begin to see life when you get older.

Whilst my locs are still a decent, relatable weight when they are dry, it's a different story when they are wet or packed in certain ways. A low bun can sometimes feel like there's a cute puppy hanging on my head. 2. The Heat I am actually on

Hello world, January is almost over, imagine that. 2018 feels like it's half way gone already, it has been super busy and go go go since day 1, literally. Whilst I am super grateful for feeling the rush that life has recently brought me, I am also dreaming of a holiday sometime this year when I can just sit back and smell the coffee as opposed to rushing before I leave the house every other morning. Oooops, I am rushing away with all my thoughts when all I really want to say Happy New Year to you. So Happy New (slightly old) Year! 2017 was a very interesting year in my personal life, made mistakes but grew through them. I do hope you get to see the shiny new me in 2018. 2017 was the year Locitude improved and had more opportunities to have the conversation around Locs, in 2017 I felt the principle of consistency come to pass for Locitude. Some people walked into the studio based on posts I had written on here from 2014, a time I had no clue that I would be a fancy "hair
