There are such a variety of different types of locs, but we’re bringing you all the inspo on Goddess locs today. If you aren’t familiar, goddess locs are a protective hairstyle that use a silkier type of hair and have loose curly ends. They are different from regular faux locs that just have a blunt end.
Many stylists use the waterfall method during installation which involves pulling pieces of hair from the loc to create a worn but polished look. It can take anywhere from 5-12 hours to complete this style, depending on your stylist. You can also do this at home, and while it may take a while, let’s just say they are totally worth the wait! The best part is you can wear this style for 6-8 weeks at a time.
Read on to find out a variety of ways you can give this locs style a try:
