Oh locs, how I love thee. And while we spend a lot of time checking out slideshows of women with long ombre hair, half-shaven hair and bobs, why not check out the many women in Hollywood who’ve been bold enough to rock locs in an industry that is more of a fan of long, straight hair? Check out this gallery of some of our favorites and you can tell us who you felt rocked them best! And feel free to include people who were not included in your comments (but be nice of course).

Erykah Badu

Around the time Erykah Badu came out, I was pretty young, so for a long while I had no idea what was holding that tall head wrap up everywhere she went. But after the “Otherside of the Game” video came out and she pulled her wrap off to show a head full of dreads, I clearly figured it out. Over the years, Badu has worn a wealth of different hairstyles, fake and real, and in later years, she’s even rocked loc extensions. Either way though, the look has been a gorgeous one on her. Don’t you agree?

    I styled my hair in every possible “hair style” known to women. With shoulder length hair, someone convinced me to try a weave. Well, “fakeness” goes against my grain so it didn’t last a day.

    Began my loc journey 1991 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. :-)

    Thats a terrible picture of Debra Wilson! Her edges look horrible

  • hellifiknow

    How could you forget Goapele, Lalah Hathaway and Vanessa Williams from “Soul Food” the Showtime series…She is probably the reason that I loc’ed as she always had fly, diverse styles….

  • JERSEYVIXEN

    hhm werent Badu’s locs fake? I might be wrong… 

  • Ashley

     Good list. I’m surprised Goapele (singer from the Bay Area, CA) didn’t make the cut.

    Somebody probably already said it but I’ll admit I am too lazy to go down in the comments but LALAH HATAWAY should be in the number.

    I love Ledisi’s loc – I wish she would start wearing them down again! 

    Lalah Hathaway’s locs are beautiful – She is one reason I went natural and am considering locs in the future.

    • Shandatmack

    What a positive article! I love my locs. At first I thought they were lookin’ kinda weird and lumpy but now I’ve grown to love them. Everyone’s loc-journey is different. All the women shown above are gorgeous. Now just to be fair, we need to have pictures of women with various hair (relaxed, natural, bald), cuz all women of color are beautiful!!!!!!

  • really?

    love locks, but they seem to eat at the hairline which is why i stay away…

    • lovelylocs

       I have worn locs for over 10 years. My hairline is fine. Everyone does not maintain their hair well. And that goes for people of all hair types. So that statement is not accurately apply to all people who wear locs. Locs need oil and maintenance just like any other style.

    • sweettea

      I know what you mean but I think that’s a problem reserved for overgroomed dreads. Ive had mine for almost 10 years and I only twist them maybe twice a year. Other than that I’m wild and my hairline is fine

    • TheProf

      Too many people think that locs (and other forms of natural hair) are maintenance free and neglect what should be routine hair healthcare maintenance. Harsh dies, poor conditioning, over twisting, and other bad grooming habits can lead to broken or weakened edges. Morrisons photo (slide 11) is a great example of healthy edges. I look forward to have looong and beautiful gray colored mature locs.
