About the Traditional Locs

Cut & Silhouette: Description: Long, free-flowing dreadlocks creating a voluminous, rounded silhouette around the head and shoulders. Key Details: The hair is formed into thick, mature dreadlocks, worn loose without a specific cut or layering style. Baby hairs at the hairline are smoothed and laid. Ear coverage: over-ear (fully covered by dreadlocks). Sideburns: hair in this area is formed into dreadlocks, blending into the rest of the style. Nape/neckline: Not visible. No updo or gathering. Length: Overall: Dreadlocks are long, extending past the chest, estimated 22–24 in (56–61 cm) from crown/roots to ends. Front: Dreadlocks frame the face, extending past the shoulders. Sides: Dreadlocks fall over the ears and past the shoulders. Back/Nape: Not visible. Fringe: No distinct fringe; the front dreadlocks are part of the overall length. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: The front dreadlocks are styled to fall around the face. Baby hairs are styled and laid along the perimeter of the hairline. Parting: No distinct hard part; dreadlocks appear to fall naturally with some pulled away from the face. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Coily (Type 4A-4B), formed into mature dreadlocks. Styled Finish: Natural, matted texture of dreadlocks, with a matte finish. No specific styling tools (e.g., blow-dry, flat iron) used for the dreadlocks themselves. Hold level 1/5 (inherent structure of dreadlocks). Volume & Density: Description: High volume and density distributed evenly throughout the dreadlocks, creating a full and rounded shape. Thickness: Thick; each dreadlock is substantial, and coverage is very dense. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral-cool tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Ombré effect on the lower half of the dreadlocks, transitioning from dark brown to a medium brown with warm, golden undertones from approximately mid-length to the ends.
