Recently, I stumbled upon a tutorial for a halo hairstyle for locs on Instagram that claimed it was really easy to do. After watching the short, 3 minute video, I still wasn’t convinced. It did not seem realistic that I would be able to get all of my mid-back length locs into a halo hairstyle. And yet, based on the amount of requests for more loc styling videos, I figured it was worth a try. I am happy that I tried— it worked! I will share with you how I recreated this halo hairstlye and you can also watch how I created this halo hairstyle in my latest video, “Halo Loc Style” on YouTube.
Recreating the Halo Hairtstyle
The materials that were essential to me as I attempted to put all 36 of my thick locs into the halo hairstyle were jumbo hair pins, a loose headband, and an herbal moisturizer. I found that moisturizing my locs prior to styling eliminated any tension that I may have experienced. Ya’ll know I am REALLY tender-headed so tension is a no-go for me. I also did not feel like retwisting my locs just to style them, so I left my roots free, full and frizzy.
After moisturizing with the Moisture Infusion spray, I put the headband on my head. It is really important that you find a loose-fitting headband. You do not want the headband squeezing your brain before you even get started. Then, I started twisting my locs from the nape area to the front of my head and back around to the nape area. I found it easiest to then secure the ends of my locs by anchoring the jumbo bobby pins into the headband. And that was it— hairstyle complete!

That looks really pretty. But how can you do this if your locs are long.
