5 Creative Ways to Style Mature Locs

Once your locs have matured (typically after 12-18 months), a whole new world of styling options opens up. Mature locs are stronger and more versatile, allowing for creative expression that wasn't possible during the early stages. Here are five of our favorite styling techniques for mature locs:

1. The Loc Bun

A classic that never goes out of style. Gather your locs at the crown of your head and wrap them into a neat bun. Secure with loc jewelry or decorative pins for added flair.

2. Half-Up, Half-Down

Pull the top half of your locs back while leaving the bottom half loose. This creates a beautiful contrast and shows off the length of your locs.

3. Braided Loc Crown

Braid a few locs along your hairline and pin them across the top of your head for a regal, crown-like effect. Perfect for special occasions!

4. Loc Petals

Create petal-like shapes by folding and pinning sections of your locs. This style is eye-catching and works well for events or photo shoots.

5. Accessorize!

Use beads, cuffs, wraps, and scarves to add personality to any loc style. Accessories can instantly elevate your look and let you express your unique vibe.
