What are Traditional Locs?
Traditional locs are larger locs that were the first to be established in the Rastafarian culture. However it is now common to be chosen as a lifestyle among many walks of life. Traditional size locs only differ in size and can be achieved with several different techniques.
At Universalocs Studio, our Traditional Locs are usually crafted with a one-inch base parting or larger, giving them a fuller appearance and a strong, classic foundation.
We use the interlocking method to maintain each loc, ensuring a neater, more uniform look that lasts longer between maintenance sessions.
This approach not only supports healthy hair growth but also offers a low-maintenance routine for those who prefer simplicity without compromising style or quality.
