Who this haircut suits

  • The Locs can be adjusted in length and detail to match the look you want; use the catalog image as a reference.
  • Straight hair shows a sharper outline, while waves make the shape softer and more movable.
  • Braiding depends on hair length and density, and should avoid excessive tension at the roots.

These are general pointers. Choose the exact length and shape with your stylist, considering your growth pattern, texture and routine.
