1. Slay with a Scarf

With scarfs with plain design to patterned or multicolored, this accessory comes in handy complimenting your braids and locs hairstyle. How you “scarf” is also worth considering as you can tie it gracefully around your temples, or you can go regal in a turban.

2. Full Up-do

This style seem to be more common. But you can give yourself more sauce by bringing the loose ends of your hair to the side of your face. Yes! that’s it, easy-peasy.

3. Let loose

When it comes to braids and locs, the option of letting loose rarely comes to mind. However, letting your hair loose and allowing it to fall freely is another style on its own. You might also want to consider using beads or cowries.

4. Pigtails

Now, all the girly girls can come out to play. Although pigtails are girly and delicate, they are by no means inferior to the other styles on this list. These sassy styles are great as a pre-Christmas option for those days you’re running errands or catching drinks with your friends.

5. Forward buns

If the above pigtails are not your thing, you can take a wild spin on it by converting the pigtails into buns and then bringing them forward. This isn’t such a common locs and braids styling option, so you should get attention adn keep heads turning for all the right reasons.
