If
you decide to loc it up, your hair that it, this is a sleek and simple style
for dreadlocks. Your locs should be at least shoulder length so the
bun can hold properly. Here I’m using my lovely sister, (who started her loc
journey not long after I did) to model the steps to successfully deliver a
chignon’ loc bun!
Make
sure your locs are clean, neat and freshly twisted. I usually style a loc bun
right after I’ve washed and re-twisted my hair.
After
you’ve re-twisted your entire head and pinned or clipped your locs in place,
dry them for at least 20 minutes to ensure they're not damp, then remove
your clips.
Part your hair in the
front, (either middle or side) and pull your locs back to the nape of your neck
to tie them back. Depending on how full your locs are you may need multiple hair ties to
pack your hair.
Grab a bit of hair
at a time and begin to tightly twist your locs inward and around themselves (clockwise),
tucking in loose locs as you twist. You want to twist your hair until you’ve returned
back to the place you started and tuck the remaining locs under and in the bun to seal your circular bun. Use a hair tie to fold over the loc bun to keep
it in place; once again depending on how full your bun is you may need multiple
ties to hold it in place. Use bobbie pins to hold down any fly-away locs.
Spritz your locs with moisturizing sheen and you’re ready to go! This is a great loc style to decorate with flowers and or hair jewelry. Perfect for events, parties, weddings, job interviews and other professional settings. I'd love to hear your take on the style so test it for the holidays and let me know how it goes...
