Also known as dreadlocks or dreads, locs are a hairstyle in which the hair is washed (but not combed) and twisted while wet into tight braids or ringlets. Now, layered locs are a more textured and voluminous version of locs. One thing is for sure: With layered locs, you can have a unique, natural-looking style every day!
1. Two-Strand Twist Layered Locs
Layered locs with two-strand twists can help retain more length and make your locs look thicker. This layered hairstyle is best for those with longer or extra textured hair. To make your locs look even more textured, try out ombre in burgundy or any other color depending on your base color.
2. Accessorized Blonde Ombre Locs With Pointy Tips
Seldom hairstyles are as breathtaking as accessorized dreadlocks. You can use beads, rings, cuffs, and other hair jewelry suitable for both layered braids and locs. Pro tip: To enhance the texture of your dreadlocks, use elastic braiding cords in contrasting colors.
3. Short Layered Locs
Short layered hair with locs is a super cool hairstyle that has plenty of volume and texture. If you’re not a fan of hair jewelry, you can always use a silky scarf to boost your sassy, badassy vibes.
4. Half-Up Twist Layered Locs Hairstyle
Layered locs don’t only create the illusion of extra long layered hair, but also take away a lot of weight and make your hairstyle look less bulky. Besides that, layered locs look great in all half-up hairstyles including a half-up twist hairdo.
5. Layered Goddess Locs With Curls
If you have thin hair, dreadlocks can make your hair appear even thinner. Here’s a solution for that: Combine locs with curls for more volume and texture. After all, it would be a shame not to show off your beautiful curly mane.
6. Blonde Ombre Layered Locs
If you want a natural-looking hairstyle that also enhances your locs, blonde ombre is what you’re looking for. If you have darker hair, a blonde ombre will create a beautiful contrast with a sun-kissed effect perfect for summer days.
7. Waist-Length Layered Locs
If you opt for waist-length layered locs, remember to moisturize your locks and your scalp with lightweight water-based products. Locs that lack moisture can quickly dry and break which is something you would want to avoid.
8. Half-Up Copper Orange Locs
Layered locs with loose wispy ends are reserved for the absolute queens of dreadlocks! An intense shade like copper orange and hair jewelry will transform your locs into a unique, personalized piece of art. Period.
9. Ultra Long Layered Locs

12. No Part Layered Butterfly Locs
Butterfly locs are a type of faux locs made with the crotchet method. Here’s how: wavy hair is looped into a braid using a crotchet needle and then loosely wrapped to create a distressed, undone look. Butterfly locs are, undoubtedly, one of the most inspiring braided hairstyles.
