I wrap my locs around pipe cleaners, which I leave in overnight.
When I take them out, I get bouncy, defined curls. This style can last up to 3 weeks on short locs. It’s a fun way to change up my look.
9: Loc Knots

Loc knots are a fun way to style short locs.
I twist small sections of locs into knots, creating a unique, textured look.
Loc knots work well for locs that are 3-5 inches long. They add a playful touch to my style.
I can wear them casually or dress them up for special events.
10: Loc Buns

Loc buns are a versatile and stylish option for short locs. I love how they can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
To create a loc bun, I gather my locs at the crown of my head and secure them with a hair tie. Then, I wrap the locs around the base to form a bun shape.
I sometimes leave a few locs loose around my face for added flair. This frames my features nicely.
11: Barrel Twists

Barrel twists are a cool way to style short locs. I twist small sections of hair into tight coils that look like little barrels.
I can make barrel twists all over my head or in certain spots. They give my locs a fun, textured look, and they’re great for special events or everyday wear.

Loc petals are a fun way to style short locs.
