Locs Long

Mature locs grown past the shoulders, each one a defined cylinder that hangs as a separate strand rather than a mass.

Length reads differently here than on loose hair, because every loc carries its own weight and moves independently, so the silhouette stays narrow and vertical even at high density. The roots are the working part: new growth has to be palm-rolled or interlocked back into the loc every few weeks or the base loosens and the loc weakens. Older ends often thin slightly and can be cut level or left tapered.

Suitsround, square, heart face shapes. An unbroken vertical fall narrows the face and drags the eye downward, taking width off a round or square jaw and balancing a wider forehead.
Hair typemedium density, thick, curly, coily. Coily and tightly curled hair locks fastest and holds the cylinder shape, though looser curl patterns will lock too and need smaller sections to stay tight.
UpkeepRoot maintenance every four to eight weeks depending on method, plus real drying time after washing, since long locs hold water for hours and sour if left damp.
Ask forSay you want long locs maintained by interlocking or palm-rolling at the root, and ask whether the ends should be trimmed level or left as they fell.
