You can check afroworld.com and see that they sell pre-made loc extensions with synthetic hair. I think they sell those in most (black) beauty supply stores as well. Also, if you look at nappturality.com and visit their loc discussion, you can run a search on extensions and see what pops up. I know that there is at least one link to a picture of a girl with loc extensions. I believe hers are human hair though. If you want to get the look of locks without committing, some people suggest yarn braids. Nappturality also has pictures of people wearing these. Lastly, I have seen women wearing kinky twists that are twisted very tightly and usually worn pretty short (under 6 inches). I have mistaken them for short locks on several occasions and I think that they look pretty nice. Where do you live? I live in DC, so I get a lot of exposure to different natural hairstyles. There are also a lot of people who work well with natural hair.

I live in Ohio where natural hair is very much taboo. I do my own hair and I go to a natural stylist once a month. My stylist is the bomb. Its funny but I have been a member of nappturality for like 2 years and never once have I got on the loc discussions forum--duh on my part. Thanks.
I used to live in DC, I am thinking of moving back there because jobs in Ohio are hard to get. Either DC or Atlanta actually is where I'll be heading soon. I have lived both places and love both places.
