How to Style and Protect Your Locs with a Magic Headwrap
Locs are more than a hairstyle. They are a way of wearing your hair with intention, individuality and pride. And when you have a beautiful crown of locs, sometimes you want to protect it without hiding it.
That’s where a magic headwrap comes in.
In this post, Dawn shows us just how versatile a magic wrap can be. With her gorgeous locs and a few simple movements, she turns one long piece of fabric into a stylish, secure headwrap that works beautifully with her outfit.
You can wear the Magic Headwrap many different ways. Click to check out the Magic Headwrap.
Watch Dawn Wrap Her Locs
Rather than simply telling you how to wrap your locs, watch Dawn do it in the reel below. You can see how she positions the magic, gathers her locs and creates the finished look.
The beauty of this style is that it looks much more complicated than it actually is. Once you get the hang of it, you can create your own version and adjust the wrap depending on the length and volume of your locs.
Why Wear a Magic Headwrap with Locs?
Locs need room to thrive, but they also benefit from being protected from unnecessary friction, weather and daily manipulation.
A magic headwrap gives you an easy way to cover your locs when you want to, while still making your hairstyle part of the look.
Our extra-large 70" x 35" Magic Headwrap gives you plenty of fabric to experiment with. Wear it snugly, create more volume, or build a dramatic wrap around your crown.
And unlike a traditional elastic hair tie, you don't have to pull your locs tightly into one position. That makes the magic wrap a particularly useful accessory when you want to reduce unnecessary tension and manipulation.
1. Create a Classic Wrapped Crown
This is the look Dawn demonstrates.
Pull the magic wrap over your head and arrange your locs before wrapping and folding the fabric into place. You can make the crown sleek and close to the head or leave more volume at the top.
The result? An elegant, polished look that can take you from running errands to dinner, an event or a night out.
2. Show Off Your Locs
You don't always have to cover everything.
Use the magic wrap to secure part of your locs while leaving the rest of your crown visible. It's an easy way to change your look without restyling your locs completely.
This is especially handy on those days when you want your locs out of your face but still want to show them off.
3. Protect Your Locs at Night
Your locs don't stop needing care when you go to bed.
A magic wrap can be used as a covering to help keep your locs contained and reduce friction against your pillow while you sleep. It can also help keep your hairstyle in place so you don't wake up with your locs going in every direction.
For even more protection, pair your wrap with a satin or silk pillowcase.
One Wrap. So Many Looks.
What I love about magic wraps is that they aren't just protective hair accessories. They are part of the hairstyle.
You can change the way you fold, twist and position the fabric and create an entirely different look.
Wear it:
-
High and voluminous for a dramatic crown
-
Low and sleek for a more understated look
-
Around your locs to keep them contained
-
Partially wrapped when you want your locs to remain visible
-
At night as part of your protective routine
And because a headwrap is also an accessory, you can coordinate it with your clothes, jewelry or even your mood.
Dawn's Locs + Headwrap = Effortless Style
Dawn makes wrapping her locs look easy, but that's exactly what makes this style so appealing. You don't need an elaborate hairstyle every time you want to change your look.
Sometimes all you need is a beautiful piece of fabric.
Her green magic wrap creates a beautiful contrast with her vibrant African-print top, while her locs remain the foundation of the entire look.
Your locs are the crown. The wrap is simply another way to wear it.
