The Locitude Blog!

Howdy People, Here's a quick and easy Loc do that I thought to share while trying out vloging again. I think this video is less shy than the last one I did. I honestly have been too lazy to try video editing, so yes, I did this in one take and I'm proud :D I forgot to mention in the video that Kemi Lewis of KL'sNatural inspired this hair style. She came by the Locitude Studio in fabulous Chunky Twists made from Marley hair using the Crotchet method. I decided to try it out with my own hair and I totally loved the results. Rocked the Chunky Loc Twists for about a whole week. Finding the perfect angle for the perfect selfie isn't always easy so I fooled around with my camera for a bit and I the pictures below are probably my best of about 15 X_X. Chunky Loc Twists Chunky Loc Twists and the Eye. Chunky Loc Twists. I'm tempted to write some more, but I guess that will just be repeating what I said in the video. This is it fellas, tell ...

Hey peeps, It's been since forever since I did one of my sevens. So here's to 7 amazing loc heads who have inspired me to be a better loc head. I love the world we live in today where you don't have to move an inch and yet you have the world at your finger tips. All you really need is a screen of some sort and internet then you are good to go. Locitude for what it is today was largely inspired by the following loc heads. The internet made it possible to connect and I'm happy to have taken it seriously enough to find one more thing I love so much. My hair. 1. Chescalocs - Francesca Ramsey Chesca is an amazing woman with a big personality who found youtube as a hobby and fame found her. She describes herself as an actress, comedian, vlogger, graphic designer, consultant and natural hair geek. She inspired me to learn to do my hair myself. She's really creative and usually funny.

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 ...

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. I can go on and on... but instead I present you with 7 Style Ideas for short locs. #LocInspiration no. 1: Loc loops or Loc petals. Reminds me of a cropped hair cut, this style looks classy and elegant. Can be worn to an event. It's also neat and can help with a more serious/subtle look. #LocInspiration no. 2: Pinned Up side. Even though it is just pinning up one side of your locs, it always make a difference. A touch Style. You can use ha...

Hello Peeps, So today I will be deploying my magical powers of time travel to reminisce on how I decided to change my hairstyle from being a relaxed natural to becoming a Dada head. If you are wondering what relaxed natural means then you should read " What's with the hair Religion ?". I had a dream where an old woman told me... Just kidding, my loc story is not queer. I liked locs as a hairstyle for no apparent reason and always wanted to have it. I also thought that once I got my hair loc'd I wouldn't need to worry about salons anymore. Anytime I saw someone with locs, I would walk up to them and ask questions; the "can I touch your hair question?" inclusive. I'll say my loc inspiration at the time was Barbie Adebo @kandicolouredbarbie on Instagram. I knew when she had started her locs, seen them grow and I just loved them. I recall my first attempt to go loc'd was in 2006 just before my final B.Sc. project. I had worn two strand twist e...

Hey Beautiful People, I can't help but remain in an up-beat mode. L.A.D. is around the corner, there's still tons to do to make sure everything is intact however the idea of L.A.D makes me so so happy. Ooopss! I'm beginning to go off track. The Updo. I posted the below picture of a gorgeous loc'd sister with a beautiful updo on Locitude Instagram and Facebook pages and got a comment saying "That must have taken forever" and I thought to myself - "challenge accepted!!!" Of course, with the help of Google and my good friend Chescalocs (I've watched too many of her videos, I feel like we are best friends ;p), I came up with the Locitude version. Barrel rolled locs, just before styling. Parted my hair into 8 sections, Barrel rolled and styled taking a cue from Chesca's video embedded below.  My hair is only about half the length of Chesca's and probably a quarter of the length of the first picture so I didn...
