My Custom & Homemade Loc Ties

8:04 AM

I learned a couple weeks ago how to make my own hair ties for my Sisterlocks. Below are the sets I did for myself, which turned out beautifully. To learn how to make yours own hair tie click here for the video or visit my "how to" post for hair ties for natural & locked hair. I did a a couple of hair ties and I found I enjoy doing them a lot. I think this will be one of my gift ideas for my locks friends :). Let me know what you guys think.

Luscious Pink & Brown
Who doesn't like pink & brown. Those color combination are the bomb ^_^

Simple & Elegant Shell
I love how the green and the silver just blend with the shell.

Earthy Brown & Blue
Love the blue detail on the gogo as well as the leopard print on the bead

Ancient Fossil Brown
I love brown, can't you tell lol.

Earth Tones Love
I love this one. I can see me wearing this all the time.


Tan Leather
This hair tie is nice and light. Love how it looks on my locks

Example on Sisterlocks
This is an rough example of how the hair tie looks on my sisterlocks. 

Most of my breads are reused old necklace pieces that I purchased years ago, that originally got popped by my daughter, and I never had the heart to throw them away. Note: Fire Mountain had $1 dollar sell on some of the beards, so I took full advantage of that as well. Please be careful on the sizing of the beads.

  1. Oh, I LOVE your hair ties! They are gorgeous! The earth tones can match just about anything. I think you could sell these. I think the ancient fossil brown is my favorite.

  2. Thanks :)!!!! I love how these came out. In fact, I'm wearing the "Simple & Elegant Shell" now. I'm so happy I ran into your blog about your hair ties. As for selling them, not these sets, but I'm thinking of doing more cute hair ties but first I want to see if anyone would be interested in buying from me :).

    1. The above accessories I use all the time. I have a post on how to make your own. I didn't think anyone would be interested in purchasing from me, when they can make their own. If you would be interesting, then I can make some to sell.

  13. Very nice ties! I was at a natural hair show and they were selling for $10. This could be a side business for you. Thank you for sharing how to make them.
