How are locks created?

  1. Dyeing and bleaching

  2. Braiding and twisting

  3. Comb technique or palm roll

  4. Straightening and curling

The correct answer is: Comb technique or palm roll

Locks are created using the combing technique or palm rolling method which involves separating and twisting small sections of hair until they form tightly coiled strands. Braiding and twisting may be used to create temporary or fake locks, while dyeing and bleaching as well as straightening and curling refer to chemical processes that alter the appearance of hair, rather than forming locks.
