LOCTITUDE

Life has a way of testing us. Sometimes the challenges feel overwhelming, like waves crashing against us from every side. You try to hold on, to stay afloat, but it feels like the current is stronger than your strength. And in those moments, it’s easy to feel defeated, to wonder if you’re enough, if your efforts matter, if success will ever come. But here’s the truth,every challenge you face is not a punishment,it’s a lesson. Every setback is not a signal that you’ve failed,it’s a stepping stone towards growth. Life doesn’t give us challenges to break us,it gives us challenges to build us. It’s in the hardest moments that we discover what we’re truly made of. I’ve been there,feeling like doors were closing, dreams slipping through my fingers, and life not unfolding the way I imagined. I’ve faced moments where I had to pick myself up from the ground, dust myself off, and find the courage to start again. And each time I did, I realized something powerful: resilience isn’t built when thin...

Many loc heads talk about the freedom to do their own locs and skip the loctician's chair all the same. I used to retwist my own hair and I can vividly remember how my arms got tired from the twisting and turning before I started to semifreeform(where you just let your locs grow with less manipulation ,you just wash and go and maybe retwist once in 6-9 months).But,not all locs can be semifreeformed.Everything has its pros and cons,I semifreeform because I am a Loctician and I can closely monitor the process and because I have thick locs,and also because I don't mind flat locs(happens when you don't retwist).If you have medium or thin locs,semifreeforming is not for you! Here are some reasons to go to a loctician  √ Locticians are style Doctors Your loctician is a natural guide to styles you haven't had before. Want a style for different occassions? A lotician will do that for you. √ A good loctician will provide low-risk services A loctician will know what wi...

Hey Loc family! Meeen it feels like I have not written in a decade.I honestly have no excuse so im not about to start.Well,a lot has happened since you last checked in!!Loctitude finally has a working station.This has been so overwhelming,and so phenomenal.I am officially back to this blog side of life!Lol. So where do I even start?Okay,let me sneak you a pic of the workstation first*wink*

DREADLOCS Dreadlocs are simply hair that has been matted together and can be formed using various methods. SISTERLOCS They are smaller than dreadlocs and their installation takes longer than that of dreadlocs.Probably twice or thrice longer.   BROTHERLOCS Brotherlocs are similar to sisterlocs but are a bit larger although smaller than traditional locs. Can you unlock dreadlocs,sisterlocs and brotherlocs? Some people claim its possible but in real sense its difficult and leads to too much breakage.Most people just chop off their locs when they don't want them anymore. So what kind of locs do you have? Stay blessed!

Hello there. The other day someone asked me "Who started your locs?" and I plainly answered "I did". Ofcourse disbelief was written all over her face. There is a misconception that you have to visit a loctician to start your dreads.I am not hating on locticians, me being one.But sometimes they do what they think works best and not what the client desires. Let me give you an example. I visited a loctician when I started my  first set of locs and I specifically told him that I wanted thick locs. He said that he will start locs that will be easier to style, so I told him I didn't care about styling. Well, he went ahead and started locs that I ddn't like. So I decided, enough with locticians, and I started my second set of locs by myself. I can wash my locs as often I like , treat them as often as I like, do a scalp massage as often as I like and at the end of the day the outcome depends on me. Its amazing. You might be wondering, how the heck do I start loc...
