Traditional Locks are formed using the coiling or double-strand methods. Unlike free-form locks, Traditional locks are parted into sections of  equal and  uniformed size. 

They are regularly maintained giving a neat, rope-like appearance using one of several methods to tighten the new growth. These locks are much larger than Sisterlocks. Traditional Locks are very stylish and can be worn down, braided, or put up in an updo.
