It is typically used in the context of describing a person's appearance, particularly in a way that highlights the beauty and intricacy of their hair.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, hair was often seen as a symbol of strength, beauty, and vitality. The way hair was styled or described could convey social status, personal identity, or even religious devotion. In biblical poetry, such as the Song of Solomon, hair is frequently used as a metaphor for beauty and attraction, reflecting the cultural appreciation for well-kept and styled hair.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>locks (of hair)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>locks (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">קְוֻצּוֺת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>locks of hair</b></font> (√ obscure;
