Lil Tecca’s Hair: Medium Length Dreadlocks
A Gen Z rap star with a knack for hooks, Lil Tecca’s hair proves you donโt need a wild hairstyle to stand out: just classic, well-cared-for locs. Letโs break it down.
Why We Love It:
Lil Tecca’s hair – collar-bone length dreadlocks – is a style evolution his fans have been carefully watching.
He began his dreadlock journey with two-strand twists: check out the vid for his 2019 hit Ransom and you’ll see the look which was a starting point for his locs.
His new dreads could also be seen as a testament to his maturity and evolution as an artist – he was only 16 when he had his first hit, after all.
While he’s not been public about his hair regime, it’s clear from the length and neatness of his locs that he has a dedicated maintenance routine. You can read some top loc care tips in the How To section.
If you’re feeling the loc love, be aware that it is a commitment. But the end result is *chef’s kiss*.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- After dreads like Lil Tecca’s hair? Share your hair texture and desired dreadlock style to determine the best method for starting your locs.
- Ask about methods like two-strand twists, comb coils, or backcombing to begin your dreadlocks.
- Request guidance on maintaining your locs, including washing routines and products to use.
- Set up periodic visits for professional maintenance to ensure your dreadlocks mature properly.
Get The Look
- Lil Tecca’s hair is clearly well looked after.
- Use a residue-free shampoo every 7โ10 days to keep your scalp clean without leaving buildup.
- Focus on the scalp during washing, allowing the shampoo to cleanse the locs as it rinses out.
- Avoid conditioners that can loosen the locs; instead, opt for light, natural oils like jojoba or argan oil to keep your scalp and locs moisturised.
- Dry the hair by gently squeezing out excess water with a microfibre towel.
- Allow your locs to air dry – ensure they dry fully to prevent mildew and odour.
- Regularly palm roll your locs to maintain their shape and encourage tightness.
- Gently separate your locs at the roots to prevent them from merging.
- Sleep with durag or on a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction and to maintain moisture and shape of your locs.
- Avoid using heavy waxes or gels that can cause buildup and attract lint.
