Rope twist locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Rope twists are a clean style that look fresh in any setting.
    The tight, sleek texture and simple overhang make them a great choice for formal and casual moments. You can wear thick rope twists for a chunkier look or thin rope twists for a lowkey look. Thin rope twists last about two weeks. Thick rope twists, also known as Senegalese twists, last anywhere from eight to 16 weeks depending on how well you take care of them.[1]
    • Briefly wear rope twists to add a curl to your locs once you take them out.
    • Moisturize your roots and wrap your hair in a silk bonnet to preserve your rope twists.

Classic locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Classic locs are a timeless look that have been worn throughout history.
    They are a casual look that sport a lot of length. This protective style is a great way to embrace your culture and practice variety, as you can style them in a bunch of ways. Wear them in a ponytail if you want to move your length back. Wear them in a tall bun to move your locs up to your head.
    • Locs date as far back as 2500 B.C. and have been seen on mummified bodies from Ancient Egypt.[2]
    • With proper maintenance, locs can last for years. To take care of your locs, wash them once a week using a natural shampoo that doesn’t leave residue. Condition from root to tip after washing to keep your locs from becoming brittle.[3]

Barrel twists

PDF download Download Article
  1. This voluminous look adds dimension to your locs.
    It involves wrapping your locs around each other to create large barrels that go down the back of the head. The number of barrels varies depending on how much volume you want and how much tension your hair can handle. Since the hair is twisted, it’s best to take this style out after six weeks. The locs will begin to unravel and tangle around each other if you leave them in for longer.[4]

Braided locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Braiding your locs gives a cornrow-esque look with more length.
    While cornrows gather the hair more towards the scalp, braided locs take locs from around the head and braids them back into sections. These sections let the locs flow, making braided locs a great way to let your locs breathe with a braided look.
5

Jumbo loc braids

PDF download Download Article
  1. These chunky locs are full of texture and depth.
    Styling jumbo loc braids involves sectioning your hair into different parts and braiding them into thick loc braids. They look good when left down, but style them in a low ponytail for a back-heavy look that pulls the hair off of your neck.[5]
    • Take this style out after two to eight weeks, depending on how much you want to show each individual loc, as they will start to tangle together once your hair grows.[6]

Basket weave locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. This intricate loc style is great if you want to switch up your look.
    Basket weave locs are styled by weaving your locs in an chunky, over-under pattern, much like a wicker basket. You can wear basket weave locs if you have mid-length or long locs, as you need enough hair for the basket pattern. For long locs, get your basket weaved into a ponytail or bun to keep them together and off of your neck.[7]
    • The amount of time you can keep basket weave locs in depends on preference.
    • To keep your basket weave locs fresh and healthy, take them out after 4-6 weeks and get a retwist.

Wick locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Wick locs are a thick, creative style.
    These locs are made by crocheting sections of hair together into thick, protruding locs that resemble cylinders. Wick locs cause less damage to your hair than traditional locs and have more of a natural look. They are a permanent type of loc that’s difficult to undo if you decide you don’t like it, so make sure you’re sure before committing to wick locs.[8]

Cornrow locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. This style combines two classic looks into a sharp, unique look.
    Cornrow locs are bulky and move towards the back of the head in sections. The sections allow the base of the locs to stand out on the head, which contrasts well with the overlapping locs on top. To avoid tension and breakage, take your cornrow locs out after two to eight weeks.[9]

Freeform locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. This creative look involves letting your hair naturally loc up.
    To grow freeforms, leave your hair alone and let it knot up. After three to five weeks, your locs will begin to form, though they may take one to two years to fully mature. As your locs freeform, they will sometimes tangle together and create a larger loc. To prevent this, find the base of the two strands that are forming together and slowly pull them apart from the scalp upward.[10]
    • The coarser your hair is, the faster the locs will take shape.
    • Everyone’s freeforms are different from each other’s, as everyone’s hair is different. If you want a look that is unique to you, rock freeform locs.

Freeform afro locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Freeform afro locs are a dynamic way to express creativity.
    This look mixes flowing locs with a voluminous afro, which allows you to get really creative. Use a scrunchy or a scarf to put your locs up into a pineapple look. Growing afro freeforms involves letting your hair naturally loc up. As with regular freeforms, it takes three to five weeks to start seeing locs and 1-2 years for them to mature depending on your hair type and how well you take care of them.[11] [12]
11

Chunky locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Mix your mature locs into a chunky look.
    If your locs are long and mature, you can switch up your look in various ways. Get chunky locs by letting them grow out and not getting a retwist. Or go to the loctician and ask for them to put your locs together for a thicker look. If you want to clean up your look, wait six weeks to get a retwist instead of the standard four to six. When wearing styles with chunky locs, make sure they aren’t restrictive and have minimal tension so that your locs remain healthy.[13]

Locs with a fade

PDF download Download Article
  1. Draw extra attention to your hair with this style.
    Pairing a fade with locs creates a strong contrast between the lower half of your head and the upper half, especially if you have long locs. This is great if you’re proud of your fade and want to show it off. To draw extra attention to the fade, wear your locs in a high bun or ponytail.
    • Getting a fade with your locs lets you experiment with the length of your sides, lending versatility to this hairstyle.
13

Locs with an undercut

PDF download Download Article
  1. An undercut gives the locs room to shine.
    The undercut starts at the temple and buzzes all the way down to the ear. This creates a look similar to mohawk locs, but the long locs help them stand apart. For a relaxed, kicked back vibe, rock locs with an undercut.
    2. Advertisement
14

Skytop locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Skytop locs are a unique style that bring attention to the top.
    Just like locs with an undercut or fade, skytop locs involve cutting the sides to let the top shine. The key difference is that the sides are usually cut into a high fade that only leaves hair at the top head, with the locs appearing above the crown. Wear skytop locs long to give the appearance of long hair with less layers.
    • Put your skytop locs in a high ponytail for a smooth look that flows upward.
15

Low pony locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. For a relaxed, sophisticated look, wear your locs in a low pony.
    A low pony keeps your hair out of your eyes and provides a contrast between the front and back of your head. Having your locs in a low pony helps show off your face, too, since it leaves room for your jawline and neck to show.

High pony locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Get your hair out of your face with this style.
    A high pony can alleviate irritation by getting your locs out of your face. It can also give the illusion of height and draw attention upward since your hair is sitting on top of your head.
17

Mid-length locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. For easy-to-manage locs, rock mid-length locs.
    You can style them into a high ponytail or a top knot bun to give the illusion of extra height. You can pair them with a fade for a crispy look that makes your locs look fresh.

Short locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Don’t be afraid to start your locs.
    If you want to get into the loc game early, get short locs. Although short locs don’t boast many styles, they are a great way to see what your hair looks like when it is in locs. Grow short locs if you want a dynamic texture covering your head without overwhelming length.
    • Put your short locs into small space buns to keep them out of your face.
19

Short locs with a taper

PDF download Download Article
  1. This look is fresh and dynamic.
    Short locs with a taper give you a crispy look while showing off dynamic texture. You can get a taper on the sides to help shape your hair and create a clean finish that helps balance out the short locs. As your hair continues to grow, you can keep tapering the sides or switch to an undercut.

Pigtail locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Rock pigtail locs for a fun, playful look.
    To put your hair into pigtails, take two rubber bands or hair ties and section your hair into two tails, one on each side of your head. Then, wrap the two sections with the rubber bands or hair tie. Since they’re just your regular locs in rubber bands, you can wear them for however long you want. Be careful, though, as this can encourage your hair to grow into permanent pigtail sections.
21

Curly locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Curly locs are a great way to enhance your shape.
    Get curly locs by wearing rollers or perm rods and shaping your locs around them. Once you take them out, they will be curly thanks to being stuck in place for an extended period of time. If you don’t want to wear rollers or perm rods, put your locs into two strand twists and take them out to encourage a curly look.
    • Depending on how tight you curl them, curly locs will last until your next wash.[14]
    2. Advertisement
22

Wavy locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. For a less curly look, rock wavy locs.
    Wavy locs are a great style that look good no matter what. The soft curl is a sight for sore eyes, and they aren’t hard to achieve. To get wavy locs, use rollers or perm rods and loosely wrap your locs around them. For a wavy look without rollers or perm rods, put in two strand twists when your hair is wet and take them out after two days.[15]
23

Viking locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. These locs give you a bold, tough look.
    Viking locs, which are similar to Viking braids, are thin to mid-width locs that are pulled back into a ponytail or braid. They are called Viking locs because the look is thought to have been worn by Celts and Vikings, who had hair that looked like roped braids.[16]

24

Spiked locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Bring some texture to your hair with spiked locs.
    This look is especially good if you are trying to develop your locs and skip the “awkward stage.” Rock an afro with protruding locs to achieve this look. To maintain the look, take regular trips to your barber and loctician from trims and retwists. Since your locs are likely in their starter phase with this cut, retwist them every four weeks.[17]
25

Side-swept locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Swoop your style to the side with these long locs.
    Side-swept locs leave room on one side of the head by moving the locs to the other side and covering it. These locs will last the standard four to six weeks as long as you take care of them, but make sure to keep one side trimmed for a fresh look.
    • This look calls back to the edgy side bang of the 2010s.

Comb coils

PDF download Download Article
  1. Wear comb coils if you’re just starting your locs.
    When it comes to starting your locs, comb coils are a great way to go since they encourage locs to evenly shape as they mature. To try locs out with short hair, start with comb coils and let them grow into more mature locs.[18]
27

Top knot locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Keep your locs out of your hair with a top knot.
    A top knot arranges the hair on top of the head into a tight knot that stands high. Putting your locs into a top knot also gives them a tall, concise look, as they are tightly wrapped together. When wearing your locs in a top knot, be careful not to put them up too tight, as that can cause tension and lead to breakage.[19]

Loc knot

PDF download Download Article
  1. For a thick, bubbly look, rock loc knots.
    Loc knots involve bending your loc together and wrapping it within itself before wrapping your other locs together to create a thick, bubbly knot. The knot is secured by a small rubber band. For a short look with long locs, rock loc knots.[20]
    • Spice up your loc knots by holding them together with colored rubber bands, yarn, or beads.
29

Half-up, half-down locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. This look lifts your locs out of your face while still leaving length.
    Wearing your locs half up gives you the best of both worlds. You have flexibility when it comes to styling the top and you don’t have to worry about the bottom, which you can let flow freely. If you’re having trouble figuring out what to do up top, try Bantu knots, high space buns, or a top knot.

Faux locs

PDF download Download Article
  1. For fast, long locs, wear faux locs.
    Faux locs involve sewing synthetic hair extensions into your real hair and locking the two together to create fast, instant locs. They are a protective style that reduces tension on your natural hair. They last around 12 weeks and start to look better the longer you wear them. To skip the waiting stage for mature locs or make your hair look longer fast, rock faux locs.[21]
    • To style faux locs, put metal hair tubes in to spice up the look. Wear your faux locs in a braid or ponytail for a more standard style.

Locs with a front taper

PDF download Download Article
  1. Rock a front taper to bring your hairline out.
    Locs styles often draw attention to the locs, but a front taper helps balance the attention between your locs and your hairline. Since the front taper is cut low, it gets rid of the bulky look that happens around the hairline as your locs grow out. This creates a great contrast that makes your edges look sharp and crispy, giving you the best of both worlds.
