traditional locs

Matted hair ropes

Traditional locs are a hairstyle in which sections of hair are allowed to mat and interlock over time into ropelike strands, without the use of extensions or chemical treatments.

The method relies on the hair's natural texture, typically maintained through palm-rolling or interlocking.

Distinguished from other loc styles like sisterlocks or faux locs: She's been growing her traditional locs for five years.
