The Locitude Blog!

Hello peeps, A belated Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year in advance. I'm currently on holiday in South Africa and today's a lazy rainy Sunday, so I'm not out and about looking for lions or terrifying my guts at the Gold reef City Theme park; instead I'm taking advantage to catch up and put some thought out there. But first a bit of my current hair update/situation; I've jumped in and out of the pool a few times this past week so I'm not rocking any style in particular. It's been mostly rinsing the chlorine water out of my locs and moisturising with coconut oil (The only product I managed to pack from home - don't judge me everything was very last minute). Damaged locs Source So before I deviate too much, I have had the opportunity of helping a good bunch of loc heads in Lagos start their journey/maintain their locs and I have noticed constant damage in the name of protective styling amongst other things.  What do I mean by

Hello Folks, It has been a minute, make that 6 weeks since I last published anything. I won't lie the last few weeks have been incredibly tough in my personal life and procrastination has been my comforter; unfortunately nothing gets done with procrastination. So today I'm breaking out of all my worries and doing one of the things that makes me happy.... As ridiculous as it sounds I really do like blogging about my hair.

I immediately start thinking of solutions then I realised I have abando

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.

Hello everyone, I know the blog has been exceptionally quiet this month of October, partly because my day job is taking the bulk of my time and that spirit called procrastination has started bugging me again; but not worry I intend keeping my promise to have at least 4 posts up a month and I have about 4 hours left so fingers crossed. I can still make it. Before I divert too much, Yes the Loc Workshop and Stylist Competition was two Fridays ago and it was much much fun. We started off watching the Wetin Be Locs Sef video after a brief introduction of the essence of the workshop, highlighted Locitude loc Do's and Don'ts before going into practical proper.
