A friend of mine gave me buckets of beads just to give away, and tonight while looking through them I thought, hey, I could put some of these in my locs! So I did! For one, I wanted to take out some of the rubberbands and replace them with beads instead. For the most part, the rubberbands are working so well with my locs, but for a couple of locs the bands are more of a hassel and just aren't helping with the process. Just like the bands, I will keep the beads on them for awhile until I feel like these particular locs don't need them anymore. So far, I really like the look they give to my locs, gives them more personality, plus I can always switch the color up once in awhile and also use them when my locs get more mature. Plus I can wash with the beads in my locs too. Nice and simple, but cute.
Where in the world have you been girl?! I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteCute beads!
Aw thanks Mrs. Honey! I've been kinda busy but hopefully I can get back to bloggin'!
ReplyDeleteHow creative! I haven't used beads in my hair since childhood and never would've thought of this.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused, though. How are they staying in? Are they attached to the rubberbands?
They just stay in lol. They aren't attached to rubberbands or anything, I guess it is the thickness of the loc that keeps it staying where they are. I'm surprised at how they've stayed in and haven't once fallen out when I rinse my hair and wash it.
ReplyDeleteBtw I was trying to comment on your latest post about the essential oils that you used for your hot olive oil treatment, but for some reason I couldn't respond. I'd recommend that if you want the smell to be more potent just add more drops of eo, at most I use 10 drops of essential oil for my oil mixture and in my spritz. I would say for me the smell lingers for a couple of hours and my friends at least do notice the smell. Essential oils are also nice for using with tea-light candles, the smell takes over my entire bedroom, love it! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about not being able to reply...Google be trippin' sometimes lol
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the advice. Someone else suggested I try fragrance oils instead because they are specifically for smell and last longer.
