The Loc Nation: April 2016 Honorable Mentions

Loc Crush:  Willow Smith

Willow Smith is rocking locs on the covers of W magazine (April 2016 edition) and Teen Vogue ( May 2016 edition).  They are starter locs!  Bold move. She is a trendsetter. 

For those who want loc extensions, I learned to use Marley hair to complete the loc extensions!  I attended the Design Essentials "Mane Event" seminar to get hands-on training in Charlotte, NC USA!

Three bundles of natural hair by Indique is how this platform artist achieved her "big hair."  This picture is not a loc related picture, but it was worth mentioning.

Also, faux locs for crochet interlocking is now available.

Trend Overview: Havana Twists

According to Essence.com, Solange has been sporting the Havana Twists within recent months.  They are larger than Kinky Twists, and they give a "DreadLock" parting look.

Marley braiding hair is used to create this look.

  Online tutorials show how to make the roots invisible and natural looking.  There are a few different techniques on youtube.  Based on your hairtype, curl pattern, and density, you can decide which method is best for you.

The Havannah or Havana Twists seem to be the latest hype!
