When it comes to caring for your locs, there are two main parting systems you should know: Diffuse Parting Systems and Square Parts & Diamond Parts.
Both of these systems can be used to create beautiful, healthy locs, but each will have a different outcome in terms of look and feel.
For those looking for more natural-looking locs, Diffuse Parting Systems is the way to go. This system involves sectioning off the hair in a C or half-moon shape that empowers us to manipulate the locs into a more natural looking pattern. This style gives us the flexibility to personalize the components of your hair style to accentuate your facial features, head shape, and unique hair qualities that are difficult to compensate for when using square parts . This also ensures that your natural hair will still highlight your features while untwisted in-between Visits.
On the other hand, Square Parts are for those who want their locs to have a more structured, and consistently-defined appearance. This parting system involves sectioning off the hair into small squares with sections of exposed scalp in-between that are completely symmetrical. This style is high maintenance, and ideal for those who can get their hair retwisted every 3-4 weeks. You will want to avoid letting untamed new growth settle, making this perfect for those who want their locs to have a sleeker, bolder, more styled look.
No matter which parting system you decide to use, it's important to remember that healthy hair should always be the top priority when styling your locs. With proper maintenance and care, your locs will look great no matter what parting system you choose!
