   • 2020 May 17, Helaine R. Williams, “LET'S TALK: Cutting 'locs good lesson in fulfillment”, in Arkansas Democrat-Gazette‎:

     Thinning hair can be especially disconcerting when one is trying to wear 'locs, also known as dreadlocks, which I'd first begun in late 2001. […] I finally fetched the shears and, cringing, cut off each 'loc at the point where new growth was coming in.

   • 2021, Nadia E. Brown, Danielle Casarez Lemi, Sister Style: The Politics of Appearance for Black Women Political Elites, New York, NY: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 25:

     Locs are another protective hairstyle that dates back to Africa. This rope-like hairstyle is achieved by matting the hair. Priests of the Ethiopian Coptic religion in 500 BCE wore locs, and the first archaeological evidence of locs comes from East Africa.
