Lessons on Locs: Instant Locs 101

Instant locs are a hairstyle that mimics traditional dreadlocks but are created using a different method. Unlike traditional dreadlocks, which are formed over time by not combing or brushing the hair, instant locs are created by using a crochet needle to create

small knots that form a matured loc look. This process allows individuals to achieve the look of natural, mature dreadlocks without the wait time of traditional methods. Instant locs can be styled and maintained like traditional dreadlocks and can be washed right away unlike the traditional palm roll or coil methods.
