2. Styled into a fringe and ponytail
This style would suit medium length locs perfectly. Leave out a few locs at the front of your hair and pull the rest up into a high ponytail.

This look is perfect if you’re going for a formal event. Packing your hair into a bun high at the top of head will take you from cool to chic in seconds.

7. Try Flat Twists
Flat twists with locs are interesting because they have a cornrow-ish look. But try not to pull the hair too tightly in front so you don’t hurt your edges.
