Lovelocks remind me of growing up, hanging out with my best friend on the dock of her cabin. We would go for long bike rides down country roads, under blue skys, and wrap eachothers hair in colored floss. Those were happy memories.
I haven't seen this done for a while, and it has such great nostalgia for me (maybe for you too). Here is a tutorial to remind you of that never ending summer love.

THIS TUTORIAL SHOWS YOU HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN REUSABLE LOVELOCKS FROM COTTON CORD AND EMBROIDERY FLOSS. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE LOCK TO A HAIR CLIP OR PIN, I USE A JUMP RING. THIS IS A GREAT SOLUTION FOR THOSE OF US WITH SLICK HAIR THAT WON'T HOLD A CLIP FOR MORE THAN 1 MINUTE. SIMPLY SELECT A SMALL SECTION OF HAIR AND BRAID IN THE LOOP CLOSE TO THE ROOT OF YOUR HAIR. SECURE THE BRAID WITH A TINY RUBBER BAND. IT WILL STAY IN ALL DAY THIS WAY, AND YOU WON'T EVEN FEEL IT.
THIS IS THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF VIDEO TUTORIALS ON LUNE FOR 2012. VISIT LUNES TUTORIAL CATALOGUE HERE FOR MORE IDEAS.

Oh Jill, that is one seriously beautiful video, fantastic soundtrack too.
I've never had a hair wrap done, I got the feeling that I was now just too old, but that is just poppycock. Now all I need to do is decide what colours will go with my hennaed hair...
Ah Jill what a great tutorial!! I use to wear one through collage, so giving a try out. Love it.

Gorgeous Jill :) Such a lovely video all round. I guess the same wrapping principle can be used to skinny hair braids and dreads. Going to add you to my Vimeo contacts too :)
this was so beautifully made, you constantly amaze me
Just beautiful!
so pretty , love this!
What a great tutorial! I'm in the process of dreadlocking my hair and they're still too young to wrap. A lovelock or two will make a perfect stand-in.
P.S. You have such beautiful hair.
This is such a beautiful way to do a tutorial. I love this song too. And your hair is beyond gorgeous.
thank you! who is singing in the video? I like this song so much!!!
Beautiful tutorial Jill, wow!! These are amazing :)
Thanks everyone for the encouragement on my first video for 2012!
It's at the end credits, but the song in the video is called Lullaby, and it is written and performed by Mandolin Orange - you can find them on itunes - the album name is Quiet Little Room.
LOVE this! Such a beautiful tutorial! xx, SB
Thanks for that! I'll have to try it for my daughter.
jill this was beautiful. what a great way to do a tutorial. looking forward to more of these. so so lovely.
Making this on a jump ring is ingenious!! So cool! I did one of these recently for a 90's birthday party and left it in for a month, I loved it so much!
