Coming in hot with faux flowers, this unique accessory had me in awe the first time I came across it. I HAD to recreate!

Turn any loc style into an eye-catching statement with your favorite faux flowers from stores like Dollar tree, Hobby Lobby, Micheals, Amazon, and more!

Wool Wrapping

When it comes to accessorizing, texture is everything.

Wool wrapping involves wrapping soft wool yarn to add color, texture, and protection to your locs. This loc accessory has to be my absolute favorite, I will definitely be trying this out soon!

Ribbons

One thing about us loc girlies, we’re going to be creative when it comes to our crown.

If you’re looking for a dainty feminine touch to your locs, ribbons are for you.

Loc Sprinkles

If you’re into delicate and subtle accessories, loc sprinkles are perfect.

Loc sprinkles are carefully threaded beads throughout the shaft of the loc, ranging from dime size charms to micro sized beads.

Check out this video on how I added loc sprinkles to my locs!

Barrettes

Some things just never go out of style no matter how old you get.

Barrettes are the perfect accessory if you’re not a fan of your locs getting in your face (or food). There are so many styles and colors to choose from, barrettes can fit anyone’s style no matter the occasion!

Safety Pins

Of course I had to add something for my edgy girls.

Safety pins will definitely have you turning heads simply because it’s not everyone’s first choice for a loc accessory. Play around with the placement and make a statement wherever you go!

Gold/Silver String

Hair string has always been a go-to when you’re in need of some umph to your locs.

As pictured in the first loc accessory, this accessory can be added any way that you choose, from a bun, ponytail, or even individually wrapped on a few locs. The possibilities are endless!

Hair Rings

Hair rings are another edgy loc accessory in my opinion. Numerous styles to choose from with different ways to add them!

Glitter Spray

Anything that can be easily washed out is right up my alley.

Glitter spray is the perfect loc accessory when you’re stepping out into the sun this spring. This is also perfect for the loc kiddos to have fun and explore!

Leather Head Scarf

Once again for my edgy girlies, I got y’all. This leather head wrap was a MUST when I came across it. As we know I am a scarf stan, so switching it up to a leather one was everything I needed to spruce up my wardrobe.

I purchased mine from superstarkya.com, support a black business!

UV Color Changing Beads

Because we plan on being at every day party we’re invited to, I had to incorporate a UV color changing loc accessory!

UV color-changing beads are special beads that react to sunlight by changing color. They start as a neutral or pale shade indoors and shift to vibrant colors when exposed to sunlight.

Pearls

Pearls are such a classic accessory, you can never go wrong with them.

These can be added many different ways; threaded through the loc, glued to a bobby pin, and much more!

Headbands

Headbands are easily the best loc accessory to throw on when you’re on the go and need to look put together fast. From casual to dressy, there are so many types of headbands out there to choose from.

This accessory is also perfect the fitness girlies out there, they’re perfect to wick away sweat. Above is a 6 pack for $10! I’m obsessed with these colors!

Chains

If you’re going for an avant garde look, this accessory is perfect for you.

Chains can be added to camouflage a rubber band for ponytails, and or attached to a loc using thread!

Hair Sticks

This accessory will turn any ponytail or bun into a statement!

I grabbed mine from my local beauty supply. There were a plethora of styles but I always opt for a neutral color/print.

Hair Bows

Bows of any size are sure to make any loc style look dainty and cute. There are so many different textures and styles of bows these days, you’re sure to find something that fits you!

Crochet Loc Sock

And for those days you don’t feel like doing your hair, this one’s for you.

A crochet loc sock is the prefect accessory for the spring simply because of the texture it brings to an outfit.

Thanks to my client mominmecraft on Etsy for this beautiful satin lined loc sock, I can be cute and lazy at the same time! SCORE!!!

Spring has arrived and the loc accessories are endless! How are you going to take advantage?!
