Locs

This piece depicts musician and actor Moses Sumney, balancing a tower of locs on top of his head.

Locs are a protective hair style often used when growing your hair out. They are usually confused with dreadlocks, but both are almost the same thing, with the only difference being that locs tend to have a tidier and more well-kept look to them compared to dreadlocks, which have a more natural, matted look.
