Chloe Bailey is showing us how it should be done when it comes to rocking locs. Channelling the confidence of those who’ve come before her (let’s not forget about dreadlock stalwarts Lauryn Hill and Lisa Bonet), Ms Bailey is cementing locs as a key element in her personal style, and it won’t be long before the two become synonymous.
Here are 10 reasons why we want to copy her locs:
1. Versatility
Together with the help of her hairstylist Fesa Nuza, the duo have shown that there are no limits when styling locs. Chloe wears hers in a number of different ways, including extravagant up-dos and more editorial looks.
2. Championing natural hair
Finally, we are seeing rigid beauty standards changing as more celebrities are embracing natural hairstyles. Chloe’s locs remind us that natural protective styling is here to stay.
3. A new generation of locs
While many will remember the surge of celebrities wearing locs in the 90s, 23-year-old Chloe is reigniting the trend for her generation.
4. Effortless styling
If there’s a level of effortlessness to aspire to when it comes to protective styling, Chloe Bailey has set the bar. Her looks – though some can be elaborate – are always carried with such confidence that you’d think she had been rocking them for years.
5. Cool girl summer
Chloe has provided us with all the inspo we need to keep ourselves cool this summer – we can’t wait to hit the beach without working up a sweat!
6. Outfit repeating
While we may not have access to all the latest designer clothes – and not to mention a fantastic stylist – we can switch up our looks with the help of Chloe’s loc inspiration. No one would ever know that we’ve worn the same outfit on four consecutive weekends…
7. Bejewelled locs
Magpies will love Chloe’s use of embellishments in her hairstyles. Hair jewels are the perfect way to add even more bling to an outfit without going overboard.
8. Up your selfie game
As the saying goes, ‘your hair is 90% of your selfie’. So, channel Chloe’s extremely photogenic looks to level up your ‘Gram game.
9. Feminine energy
Chloe Bailey exudes feminine energy on the red carpet, and her memorable hairstyles contribute greatly to this elegant image. While locs can be used in many ways, even to create edgy or bohemian looks, Chloe shows off their beauty in the best light.
10. Easy peasy
While real locs might take a little longer to master, faux locs are incredibly easy to install and maintain!
