Loc bob
Established locs in a jaw-length bob. Starting locs is a longer-term commitment, not a temporary styling finish.

- Type of change
- Locs
- Visible length
- Short
Visible length describes the outline in this illustration, not stretched or underlying hair length.
Ask your stylist
For existing locs, discuss a jaw-length bob with a loctician before cutting. If starting from loose hair, discuss the formation process, time and maintenance commitment; an illustration cannot show how your own locs will mature.
Your routine
Loc care and drying needs depend on maturity, density and method. Starting locs is a commitment; removal can require substantial time or cutting.
Agree before starting
- What length and outline should we aim for when my hair is dry?
- How should we adapt this shape to my texture, density and growth patterns?
- What should stay the same? Confirm any change to color, texture or overall length.
- What daily styling, salon upkeep and cost should I expect?
Use this reference to discuss options. A stylist should assess what is practical for your hair before making a change.
