noun (1)

ˈläk How to pronounce lock (audio)
1
a
: a tuft, tress, or ringlet of hair
Marie … turned to pin up a lock of hair that had fallen on her neck. Willa Cather
b
locks plural : the hair of the head
… if your locks are lank, … skip the conditioner. Parenting
c(1)
often loc plural locs : a narrow ropelike strand of hair formed by matting, braiding, or twisting : dreadlock sense 1
According to Brooklyn stylist Derrick Scurry, there are several ways to save your dreadlock. For locks broken at the root, wait for hair to grow long enough to braid. Then have your stylist attach the lost lock to the braid with thread so you can't tell where the braid ends and where the lock begins. Essence
If palm rolling and twisting seem similar, it's because they are. But instead of twisting with your fingers to create a loc, you roll the section of hair between your palms, a technique that helps give more control over the size and shape of the loc. Sami Roberts
(2)
locs or locks plural : a hairstyle consisting of locks : dreadlocks
Dreadlocks, dreads, locks, locs—whatever your term of choice for them may be … Taylor Bryant
Some people simply stop combing through their hair in order to form "freeform" locs, which tend to vary greatly in size. Many others prefer a more cultivated look, with neat, even partings throughout, and a uniform size to each unit. Del Sandeen
The CROWN (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) Act, which was introduced by Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), prohibits denying employment or educational opportunities to a person based on their hairstyle or texture. The law includes styles such as locs, cornrows, … and Afros. Angela Johnson
For Michael Calhoun of DeKalb, his locks are more than just a hairstyle. "It's a way of life," he said. Calhoun … said the preferred term for his chosen style the past decade isn't dreadlocks, it's "locks" because dread carries a negative connotation. Katie Finlon
