Loc Hairstyle Tutorial: Bangin' Bun

[jacquelscott]

Love your videos and personality. Also love this style, but i'm on my 2nd set of locs and they're only 4 months old. I'm a long ways away. However, my question is about your top in this video. I love yellow and your top is super cute. Who made it?

[chescalocs]

@jacquelscott not sure of the brand. i got it from a bargain store in NY so it doesn't have a tag :(

[Bimshirebabe]

I recently saw your videos as I've been searching for some ideas for my own hair. My video response is a bit long but contains some footage featuring an interpretation of your hair do.

[profgeorge2004]

I am soooooo GLAD I stumbled upon your vids!!!!

[Caribstar]

Do you think this would work with longer locs? My hair is almost to my butt

[chescaleigh]

@Caribstar I have no idea! the only way to find out is to try!

[evealexsis]

Beautiful style!!

[lictis]

I LOVE IT!!!

[blessmejah]

wat is your fb page name cant find it :-(



[chescaleigh]

@blessmejah the address for my facebook page is at the end of the video and also in the video description box. it's chescaleigh

[thegabrielnetwork]

your nailpolish is FABULOUS!!! what color is that??

[blqberry1]

Is that a Michael Kors watch?! I LOVE IT!! I have been looking for the MK boyfriend watch and it is on back order on the one site I was able to find it on-if so where did you get yours from??. Always love the hair!!

[chescalocs]

@blqberry1 wow, someone has a good eye! :) yes, it's the rose gold chronograph watch. Mine is a special edition version, but I put a link to almost the same one on the Michael Kors website. I actually got mine in the store. You should see if there's one where you live or try the MK site. They actually have a bunch of cute watches on sale right now!

[ashiegirl16]

how do you get your roots to look so fresh even after 2 weeks?

[chescalocs]

@ashiegirl16 ha! i think my hairline looks kinda rough! i don't have a secret. i actually don't even use product to retwist :P 

[sexxislick]

love the idea of the chescalocstars *going to fb page STAT!* :-)

[lojical1]

Love this look! Video quality is amazing btw. What kind of camera and lens did you use for this?

[chescalocs]

@lojical1 thanks! I just got a canon T3i and a Tamron 17-50mm lens. she's a beauty :)

[kittywittykatt]

I heart you!!! :-)

[quotidianlight]

LMAO, My daughter just wore a dress just like that to her first night time 8th grade graduation dance. It was a brilliant dress.

[IRoseline]

[chescalocs]

[shatani]

that eye makeup is gorgeous! you look stunning!

[unicqueky]

Background looks so blurry and soft... love that effect! Almost looks like you taped on a virtual or green screen set! :)

[chescaleigh]

@unicqueky that's my new lens!! that effect is called depth of field. glad you enjoyed it! :)

[StyleFreeblog]

i dont have locs but i watch anyway. does that make me a stalker? lol LUV the fashion portion :)

[chescaleigh]

@StyleFreeblog ha! no not at all! thanks for tuning in!

[gleilani0111]

if not all, i think i've done most of the styles that you've one tutorials for. and i always get compliments! i love this style and will certainly wear that for my next pipe cleaner adventure. keep it going girl!

[gleilani0111]

i mean to say that you've "done"

[RacquelNM]

You look so purrtee :)

[pooja6116]

Love your sandals. Def going to try this style tomorrow in this stank heat! ;)xoxo

[NaturallyGlowin]

What Eye Shadow are you wearing its SOO pretty!!

[chescaleigh]

@NaturallyGlowin it's by IMAN. please see video description box :)

[chescaleigh]

@NaturallyGlowin Iman Sparkle Powder in Glitz - i found it on ebay but if you're weary of buying there you can just use any ole sparkly white eyeshadow.

[InquisitivelyMe]

Man I want my locs to hurry up and grow so I can wear styles like this! You look great and your locs are awesome!

[dina237]

i love/hate you for being so pretty! :) hehe thanks for another video and the locstars idea sounds really cool!

[chescaleigh]

@dina237 oh stop! 

[mizzpicklezz]

cute!

[143djohnson]

I have the same beadspread as you in my guest room! Love the hair too!

[qochemist]

Very nice...I love the idea of the chescalocstars :)

[labatimamzelle]

love this! so cute can't wait till my hair gets that long!

[LiaLocs]

ohhhhhhhhh my god this locs...mhhhhh..

[Michaelsnuts]

pause at 3:22 lol :)

i think your hair may be my favorite on youtube.

[chescalocs]

@Michaelsnuts :) thank you! 

[yahvinah1]

do you exercise? I exercise daily and any braidouts or whatever are going immediately... :(

[testforlove]

@yahvinah1 I have the same problem. *sigh*

[chescalocs]

@yahvinah1 yes, i work out anywhere from 3-4 days a week. i just put my hair into a high ponytail with a headband to protect my hairline. nothing to special. everyone's hair is different so mine maybe just holds the curls better over time? i dunno...

[hope0hurts]

Your armpits are so pretty!!! mine are so scarred and dark

[chescalocs]

@hope0hurts i get this comment all the time! maybe it's because i live in tank tops? lol i wish i had some secret to share with you but my armpits are just naturally light. have you tried using coco butter to help with the color?

[hope0hurts]

@chescalocs No. I'll try it out. 

[KrissyJay678]

@hope0hurts i always thought that about her, and i though i'd be creepy to ask about it lol

nice pits chesca :P

[Chasmofmisery]

that clutch is hot fiyaah! your hair too! you look beautiful <3

[chescalocs]

@Chasmofmisery the one online is about $10 more than the one i have, but i'm sure you can find it in the Aldo store :)

[ShotScience]

Ah, my favorite Mama LocStar! You's NextUp Smart ;)

[chescalocs]

@ShotScience haaa! miss you!

[ShotScience]

@chescalocs miss you back!

[DailyGazelle]

I really like the style, but what happened to the other female contributor? My hair's way too short to do this style :(

[chescalocs]

@DailyGazelle i have to check in with naomi. but you could always try to do your own interpretation of the style. i can't always provide styles that will work for everyone but my goal is to inspire you to try something new! the faux loc bangs will work on any length of hair, so you could try those and pin your hair back or do a low side pony or bun if your hair isn't long enough for a high bun. hope that helps!

[monilovelocs]

what kind of camera?

[chescalocs]

@monilovelocs i'm using my new cannon T3i with a Tamron 17mm lens, which makes all the difference

[nk2228045]

beautiful as always

[HoneyFluffs]

Faboulous Camera!!

[chescalocs]

@HoneyFluffs thanks! i'm so glad i was able to upgrade. thank you YouTube NextUP!

[KeenaButtaH]

[chescalocs]

@KeenaButtaH thank you! i wanted to wear something Florida appropriate and judging by the outfits that day i fit in perfectly. lots of bright colors and florals that only work on the beach :)

[christinafour]

Love the hairstyle, trying it tomorrow. Thanks

[iAmSheera21]

[zanyboo101]

[chescalocs]

@zanyboo101 don't let your length stop you from experimenting! get in that mirror, get some pins and go to town!

[TheNaturallycool]

[chescalocs]

@TheNaturallycool aw you're so sweet. it's crazy how much my channels have grown over the years. just think, i started with only one channel, in my miami apartment that i shared with 2 roomates and 4 dogs, recording on my rinky dink iMac camera and now i have 2 partner channels and live in NY with patrick and my 2 dogs and have upgraded to the camera of my dreams! lol! it's pretty crazy. thanks for sticking with me, even through the not so great videos :)
