Hair locking, also known as locs or dreadlocks, is a hairstyle in which the hair is allowed to mat and tangle together to form long, rope-like strands. This style has been worn by people of African descent for centuries and is often associated with Rastafarianism.
There are many different ways to lock hair, but the most common method is to start with clean, dry hair. The hair is then divided into small sections and twisted or braided. Once the hair has been twisted or braided, it is allowed to mat and tangle together. This process can take several weeks or months, and the resulting locks will vary in size and shape depending on the hair type and the method used to create them.
