The loc-ing process can begin via numerous ways, with some loc wearers opting simply to stop combing through their hair in order to form “freeform” locs (think Jay Z), which then vary in shape and size. Thanks in part to the natural-hair movement of the ’00s, there’s been an uptick in more cultivated looks over the past few years with neat, even partings and a uniform size to each loc.
Typically, the tighter the natural curl pattern, the faster the hair will lock, which is one of the reasons the style is beloved by those of us with kinky hair textures who can uniformly style their hair by simply palm-rolling sections. For people with looser hair textures, you may have to opt to use small braids as a base to begin your locs.
