Locs, also known as dreadlocks, are a hairstyle formed by matting or braiding hair into rope-like strands. This style can be created naturally over time or intentionally through various methods, such as twisting or coiling. Locs can be worn by people of all hair types, but they are most commonly associated with African and Caribbean cultures. The maintenance of locs varies depending on the individual's hair type and the desired look. Regular washing and occasional retwisting are essential to keep locs healthy and neat. Many people choose to adorn their locs with accessories like beads or wraps, adding a personal touch to their hairstyle.
