Often referred to as dreadlocs, locs are a long-term hairstyle. To create locs in your natural hair, you must twist one stranded portions of hair at the desired size. Twisting must be done on a regular basis in order for hair to loc. Some people choose to twist hair every week until the texture becomes solidified and locs no longer unwind. Originating from African cultures, locs were made popular by Bob Marley and the Rastafarian religion. However, many people who are not Rastafarian sport this beautiful, simple, and healthy style.
