You’ve searched endlessly through online stores, bridal magazines, Instagram and Pinterest to find inspiration. Trying to find imagery of self-representation. These images are harder to find than you thought. It’s important that your loc style is celebrated. You want to feel regal, sophisticated and beautiful making your own rules of what you deem as Queen vibes. It’s then the overwhelm hits. ‘Which bridal adornments would be perfect for my locs?

A helping hand always makes the search much easier. Welcome to Kala Waya Collections. A London based brand with Caribbean roots, whose mission is to provide luxe handcrafted bespoke hair adornments that suits your diverse hair textures and styles. We adore kinks, curls and coils.

Now let’s get into it, Queens.

Loc Jewellery

Let’s re-imagine loc or dreadlock jewellery! Locs are a hairstyle symbolising royalty and strength. For some women (and men) it is an integral part of their way of life, religion, culture and heritage.

Often loc jewellery is made for the purpose of being a casual hair adornment. KW Collections loc jewellery designs is a luxe artisan alternative for loc Queens dripping regalness in gowns and cocktails dresses. Pearls, gemstones, rhinestones, Swarovski, exquisite charms and intricate wirework are incorporated in these dainty pieces. The possibilities for loc jewellery designs are endless.

Easy to apply, your loc is threaded through this jewellery piece or wrapped around it. For a secure snug fit, it is best to have a rough idea of your loc diameter. Loc diameters are usually described as micro (Sister locs), small, medium, large or extra-large.

Other types of loc jewellery can be applied by a clasp to dangle intriguingly through the hair.

Well maintained locs can pretty much be styled in various ways. From short bobs to pompadours, loose waves to stunning corkscrew curls.

A gorgeous wedding style is this petal loc bun adorned with various types of loc jewellery from the KW Blush Loc Candie collection. This is not only elegant but adds even more interest, as some of these loc jewels have a dangling effect whilst others are small and petite handcrafted to ‘hug’ the locs. Adorn your hair with as many loc jewels as you would like. The more the better!

Hair Dangles

Hair (forehead) dangles are minimalistic yet statement adornments that brings attention to the face and can dress most hairstyles. These are perfect for a bohemian look. Inspired by the exquisite Maag Tikka, a traditional Indian hair accessory, Kala Waya Collections creates its own take on this regal jewellery piece, using fluid design concepts and embellishments. Hair dangles are easy to apply to hair with a custom-made hairpin or clasp. It then elegantly sits on the middle of the forehead.

KWC Blush Hair Dangle is handcrafted with beautiful faceted pearl links of graduated sizes and a rose gold hairpin. Nestled in a chic petal loc style, this is definitely a stylish adornment choice.

Hair Vines

One of the popular trends of hair adornments/accessories in the wedding industry, are hair vines. A less traditional but equally glam ‘cousin’ to tiaras, hair vines are versatile pieces that are designed and crafted to be manipulated and work with any hair texture or style. From the boho luxe Queen to the classic Queen, hair vines are a great choice for your occasion.

You are in complete control of how you wear it.

KW Ashlee Hair Vines can be designed in various lengths from short hair vine sprigs that are stackable to longer flexible pieces.

This Ashlee Petal hair vine compliments a modern goddess locs’ bridal look, with its romantic wire wrapped rose gold petals and faceted shell pearls.

If you are a Queen who prefer sparkles over pearls, crystal hair vines are for you! Our favourite crystals are faceted cuts, ensuring that hair vines and other adornments catch the movement of light exquisitely. Can you imagine one of these vines in your locs?

Hair Combs

You may have thought that combs were not for locs but that is a myth! Hair combs are the most common bridal hair adornments. Mainly worn on the side or back of the head, combs are great for both up dos and down dos.

In planning your wedding look, a comb could be a perfect accessory to add some decoration to a simple veil which is worn at the back. The comb can be placed just above the veil similar to these KW Shelly combs. A fusion of chunky shell pearls, crystal and sequin combs lovingly wire-wrapped on a rose gold base.

Hair Chains

Hair chains accentuate beautiful facial features because of their interesting designs and positioning. They usually have a central focal embellishment along the forehead area with a single chain or multi-chains draping around the head. Alternatively, hair chains can be designed to be worn from the back of the hair.

Works well in sleek hairstyles such as buns and loose loc’d curls depending on the occasion and vibe you are going for. Extremely versatile for formal to more casual wedding looks. A cool option for brides not wanting to wear a veil.

Our KW Blush pearl hair chain is for the free-spirited and romantic at heart. Rose gold wire wrapped barely pink pearls with the sweetest tiny pearl dangles throughout this design as an accent feature.

Yes, there is a bit of a pearl love affair going on here at Kala Waya
