Should you dye your locs or not?

Hey.

I have been a big fan of colour especially gold/blonde on my locs. In 2012, I sure did not know much about colour. In 2013, I thought that you can only colour the tips.

Over the years of my loc journey, my locs were covered with build up because of  using too much wax. After I coloured them, they looked better. This brings me to share with you some reasons that could make you want to colour your locs.

1. To cover up lint and build up.

Lint is the white strands of fabric that stick to your hair if its not well protected. Build up is the whitish stuff stuck to your locs due to too much wax or the use of the wrong products.

2. The cool look.

Its 2017, everything about colour is cool. I used to see only gold or brown locs. Now people are doing green, red, blue,ombre among others. Well I am always tempted to try the green one.

3. Helps you to listen to your hair.

Dye will break make your  hair weak and dry. So if you dye it, you will need to moisturize your locs more often. Thats exactly what locs need everyday,  to be moisturized.

4. To hide gray hairs.

If you have some grey hairs, dying it will be a good decision. It will give you that uniformity of colour all round.

6. Its exciting!

They say life is short right? So why not experiment with some colours? Lets colour this life.

So are you compelled to try out some colours?

Lots of love.

Yours loc head,
Mesh.

So this past two days I have been having a rough time trying to keep my baby locs down. I know, they just want to stay up. So I came up with a few styles to get you through the awkward stages of baby locs.  This is a simple style.Just hold up a few locs at the back then use a head band to hold them in place.You don't have to stress over your one month or two months old locs.   Another style for baby locs is the mohawk. This one is pretty simple too and will go with any outfit for many ocassions.  Another style is using head bands to accesorize. You can have them in different colours. This will go well with starter locs.  You can  also use  a head band with a bow to add style to your locs. Especially if you have thick hair or locs.   You can also simply put a flower on the side to bring a simple ...

How to remove dark spots and make your skin tone even.

Hey good people! We all want that beautiful skin right? We constantly visit the stores looking for skin lighteners,scrubs,cleansers and we end up getting frustrated when they don't work to our expectations. Well, I have some good news for you. Potato. Yes,potato. It has a property that is capable of making your skin tone even, free of acne and clearing dark spots. So take a potato and grate it, sing the finer side. You want to get as much juice as possible.   The end result will look like this. Pour it in a small bowl, slice a lemon into two and squeeze it in to form a mixture.   Apply the mixture on the prefered area. Face, neck, hands,dark thighs and dark knuckles snd let it sit for 30 minutes then wash off with cold water. Apply twice a week for better results. This works 100%. It is safe and natural. NB*: If your skin is sensitive use honey instead of lemon.   Click here to watch the video

HOW TO STYLE YOUR NATURAL HAIR

Well, sometimes we have limited styles to try on natural hair and I am here to help you add to your favourite style so that you can have a variety to choose from the next time you want to style your hair.

It will add length and volume to your hair.Use a slim head band to make a wide bun.Then tuck in the hairs on the bun using a pattern of your choice. *  This one is a simple one t...
