Lock of hair in Spanish?

I've just laminated the first locks of hair of the twins for keepsakes. I just wondered what it's called in Spanish. I doubt if it's a bloqueo, candado or cerradura

Your pic is not of a lock. It's a braid. A trenza, as you correctly note.

A lock is a tiny curl of several strands of hair, often retained as a keepsake. As in the OP, or in the case of one lover to another.

 

[pollogringo]

Un ricito is a curl.

Yes. And a lock. Mech?n is also correct.

trenzitas de oro

Thanks for the correction. I've only ever seen Ricitos de Oro. There's even a shampoo of that name.

Trensitas is when the hair is in a trenza, ricitos is when hair is naturally curly, so both definitions are correct.

further, when you say goldi locks is referring to a lock of hair, may be pressed in a trenzita, i think that term started with Sheryl Temple, she had her hair in curly trenzas.

OK, taking about "pollos", have you ever heard the word:

POLLINA ?

Here is a hint:

Pollina - fringe (GB)/bangs (US) (flequillo in Spain)

Google "Goldilocks in Spanish" and you get "Rizitos de oro" and "Cabello de oro".

"Un mech?n de pelo". By the way, I've also heard "un cachito de pelo" on a couple of songs; I think they were mexican songs.

Yup, ricitos not rizitos. MB
