Another short faux locs style with some pieces of hair left loose, this look serves up just the right mixture of messy texture and bohemian vibes.

We see lots of jumbo faux locs using kinky textured human hair or Marley extensions, but it’s also possible to achieve the look using synthetic yarn. We love how this neutral beige tone pops against natural black roots while still looking soft against the face.

For short faux locs that really pack a punch, go for these jumbo locs using Marley hair. The finished product gives you kinky texture that looks natural but feels lightweight and won’t break the bank.

This deep shade of maroon is dark and edgy enough for fall and winter, but still looks vibrant and fresh if you’re used to wearing all black protective styles.
