Loc Bob
Locs cut to jaw length, so the ends land in a line at the jaw and the weight gathers there instead of falling.

Cutting locs short changes how they behave: shorter locs are stiffer, stand further away from the head, and turn the silhouette round rather than vertical. The line at the jaw is the feature, and it can be taken straight across or dropped slightly longer at the front. Loc ends are sealed rather than tapered, so the perimeter stays blunt as it grows and the length comes back slowly.
- Suitsoval, oblong, heart, diamond face shapes. Ending at the jaw puts visible width exactly where a narrow chin needs it, and it shortens the vertical run of a longer face.
- Hair typemedium density, thick, curly, coily. The shape wants enough locs to build a solid outline, since a sparse set at this length looks gappy with no length below to close the gaps.
- UpkeepRetwist every four to six weeks and re-cut the line two or three times a year; daily styling amounts to shaking the shape back into place.
- Ask forAsk for your locs cut to a blunt jaw-length line, and say whether you want the front pieces left slightly longer than the back.
