Dyeing your locs doesn’t always have to involve bright colors (thought if you want something bright – check out some ideas here). Moreover, you can have subtle color locs that are dyed. Take a look below at some natural loc color ideas to get inspired.

Ginger Locs

Ginger locs are a color that blends with many others. I describe it as a darker orange, softer brown, and red all rolled up into one shade. If you aren’t a natural ginger and are looking to dip your toes in a subtle hair color – ginger can be a nice place to start.

Blonde Locs

If you want blonde locs, you are definitely going to have to bleach your hair if you aren’t using a temporary option. Blonde locs are beautiful, but are notorious for causing brittle locs due to the amount of bleach used. However, once you aware of those facts and proceed with caution, you are left with a bright & glowing color!

Brown Locs

Brown hair is a beautiful color, and is definitely not boring! It is one of the most common hair colors worldwide, often associated with natural warmth and versatility. Lastly, brown hair is known for its ability to complement a wide range of skin tones and the color itself is commonly seen as a symbol of reliability and stability.

Black Locs

In the US, about 85% of the population has black hair. Thus, it might not seem like the first color that comes to mind when you are looking to dye your locs. However, black locs should not be discounted! You can dye your locs a deeper shade of black – especially if the sun is dyeing your locs.

Grey or Silver Locs

Grey or silver colored locs are a common natural color. Typically around mid forties, those of African descent start to grow grey hair. However, there is nothing to fear – only to embrace. Aging is a beautiful process. Whether you are aging or just looking for a new color, dyeing your locs completely silver may just be the statement you are looking for.
