27 Trendy Ways to Style Goddess Locs at Home
From a bob to purple locs, there are so many ways to style goddess locs.
There are such a variety of different types of locs, but we’re bringing you all the inspo on Goddess locs. If you aren’t familiar, goddess locs are a protective hairstyle using a silkier type of hair and have loose curly ends as opposed to regular faux locs that just have a blunt end. Many stylists use the waterfall method during installation. This 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:

Opt for a traditional Goddess lots hairstyle. For some variation, add a deep side part. What we love about this style is that it can work on any length of hair, whether shoulder-length or down to your waist.
Whether you try out a bold color or add an accessory, there are many ways to show off your new Goddess loss.
