“How will I wear my hair at work?” — Finally, the answer to one of the most common phrases amongst Loc Rockers and people that want to start locs. There are many stereotypes when it comes to locs, such as they’re not clean, they’re not elegant, and that you can’t wear locs in Corporate America but from personal experience, I’m here to tell you it can be done! Here are a few styles for locs in the workplace, at any length, that will turn heads—in a positive way.
4 Hairstyles for Locs in the Workplace
Curly
You can get curls in your locs using several different methods. Depending on your length and how much definition you want you can try a Flexi-Rod set, Wrap-A-Loc Curls (aka Pipe Cleaner Curls), or Perm-Rods.

Updo
When you want to get your locs off of your neck or out of your face, an updo is always a great style! You can create an Updo yourself and adore it with loc jewelry or visit a Natural Hair Stylist that can create a more intricate design.

Crinkles
Creating waves in your locs is always a fun alternative to wearing them straight or in a ponytail! Much like curly styles you can create crinkles in your locs using various methods, including Loc Knots, Braids, and Lacers.

Extensions
Now if you really want to change it up or hide your locs, you have several different options here— Crochet Braids, Marley Twists, Havana Twists, and Temporary Loc Extensions.
