Parting Styles for Twists, Braids and Locs

Communicating the type of parting that you want for your locs with your stylist can be tricky. I know this because It took me 4 stylists to get the kind of parting I want. I created the simplistic images below to help you both decide and communicate the type of parting you want with your stylist.

Remember that these parts can be done at varying sizes. Also note that the Organic Parting is simply random and can be done in any way chosen.

I have selected 6 types of parting for locks or even just plaits or twists including:

1. Fan Parting
2. Box Parting
3. Brick Parting
4. Organic Parting
5. Triangular Parting 
6. Diamond Parting
