Listen up, Boho Babes, the Short Bob Locs are officially BACK.
You asked, we listened. Our most-requested style has returned, and she’s here to slay all over again. The Short Bob Locs were gone for a minute, but now they’re making their grand re-entry, cuter, cooler, and still carrying that effortless Boho magic you know and love.
If you’re new here, let’s get into the details. The Short Bob Locs are the shortest faux locs in the Boho Locs family, measuring between 8 to 10 inches. They’re layered and designed to give you that chic, one-length bob finish that’s light, breezy, and easy to wear. Perfect for summer, travel, or whenever you’re craving that fresh, confident lewk.
And because we know you love options, our Short Bob Locs come in four signature shades:
Midnight – Effortlessly elegant, this classic jet black complements every season, outfit, and occasion with timeless allure.
Storm – Break free from ordinary greys with this custom tone that incorporates four different hues for a "salt and pepper" finish that’s anything but dull.
Bronde – Immerse yourself in the ombré magic of warm chocolate and rich blonde, creating a unique and captivating blonde just for you.
Light – This triple-tone color begins with natural dark roots, transitioning into a velvety shade of dark blonde for a touch of sophistication.
They’re back, honey! So if you missed them the first time, now’s your moment to shop your new favorite protective hairstyle.
Goddess Short Bob Locs Breakdown
Before you dive into your install, watch Lulu’s breakdown of the Short Bob Locs.
In this video, Lulu gives you all the details you need to know about our relaunched Short Crochet Bob Locs. These beauties are designed to create a soft, natural bob look that frames the face beautifully. Each bundle comes in three lengths: short, mid, and long, so you can layer them in for that perfect shape.
If you’re going for the one-length bob, follow Lulu’s simple guide:
Shortest strands at the back
Mid-length pieces in the middle
Longest locs in the front
This layout gives you that sleek, cohesive shape without losing any of the texture or volume Boho Locs are famous for.
And here’s the best part. You can freestyle your install. Want a little edge? Mix up the lengths. Feeling creative? Play around with your placement. Either way, you’ll end up with something beautiful, personal, and authentically you.
Installation-wise, Lulu recommends a regular crochet method with cornrows going straight back and a few individuals in the front if you want a more natural hairline. If you’re going full individual install, 60 locs will do the trick. For a traditional crochet, around 100 locs will give you that perfect fullness.
And because Boho Locs are built to last, you’ll even have hair left over for your reinstall. Mix new and previously worn locs for a fresh, natural look every time.
Installing Short Bob Goddess Locs
Once you’ve met the locs, it’s time to see them in action.
In this tutorial, Lulu walks you through a full install using the Short Bob Locs kit. Each kit comes with five bundles, all slightly different lengths, so you can layer them exactly how you want. Lulu’s going for that classic one-length bob, but you can totally make it your own.
Here’s how she does it:
Eight cornrows straight back for the base
Individuals along the front hairline for a soft, natural finish
Short hair in the back, mid in the middle, and longest at the front to create the bob shape
When it comes to braiding, Lulu uses a small bit of Marley hair to blend seamlessly with her natural texture. Then, she braids the crochet loc onto one of the strands, wraps, covers, and seals it with a tiny drop of nail glue for extra hold.
Once the install is complete, it’s all about shaping. A few quick snips to trim the ends and even out the bob, and voila, the look comes to life.
The result? A fresh, lightweight, and super-chic crochet bob loc style that’s perfect for summer. It’s short enough to stay cool but long enough to keep all the Boho goddess energy you love.
Lulu’s right, this look is fresh, breezy, and full of personality. You’ll be turning heads wherever you go.
How to Stretch Your Short Bob Locs
Want to customize your Short Bob Locs even more? Lulu’s got you.
In this video, she introduces her Boho Stretch technique, a simple, heat-based method that elongates your locs and loosens the curl pattern. This is perfect if you love your bob but want it a little longer or sleeker.
Here’s how it works:
Work in small sections
Apply gentle tension to the locs
Use a hairdryer to warm the strands slightly
Let the locs cool in the new, straighter position
That’s it. The heat helps the locs reset into a softer wave or even a straighter shape, depending on how much tension you apply.
Lulu uses the technique lightly here, just enough to take out a bit of the curl while keeping the natural movement. The result is a beautifully customized bob that’s sleek, stylish, and totally you.
Finish with your favorite edge control (because what’s a Boho install without those laid edges?) and you’re ready to step out and slay.
