How to do Faux Locs: Individual Braid or Twist Faux Locs 1

How to do Faux Locs: Individual Braid or Twist Faux Locs

More

One of the most popular way to wear faux locs involves using box braids or twists as a base. Separate your natural hair into small sections, then braid away from the head, using extensions to add length if desired. Use a piece of synthetic hair to wrap around your each of your braids. Once you get close to the ends, fold the end of your box braid up and wrap so that your braid is completely concealed and you’ve run out of hair. You can use a lighter to carefully secure each loc and prevent it from unravelling. Marley hair has lots of grip, and is the most popular for wrapping faux locs, but you can use other kinds of synthetic hair or even yarn to wrap your faux locs.

The same method you use to get gorgeous crochet curls can also work with faux locs that come pre-made with crochet loops at the ends. This is one of the easiest ways to install faux locs, and is a good choice for beginners who don’t want to worry about individually wrapping all of their own locs. To get crochet faux locs, braid your hair into cornrows. Pattern isn’t too important unless you’d like to part your hair in a specific way. Once your cornrows are complete, attach faux locs to them using a latch hook, and your style is ready to go!

The individual crochet method is a different way to get a faux locs look, but uses the same pre-made faux locs as a regular crochet style. Instead of braiding hair in cornrows, you’ll take individual sections of hair and braid them away from the scalp 2 to 3 inches down. Next use a latch hook to pull a faux loc through the braid, then loop the loc through itself to secure. Finally, use the latch hook to thread the rest of your braided hair into the faux loc where it can stay hidden and secure.

How Long do Faux Locs Last? 4

How Long do Faux Locs Last?

More

If you use an individual braided method to get your faux locs, the style can last for two months or more. As your natural hair grows out you’ll be left with a fuzzier texture, but this can make your locs look more natural and lived in, which is what lots of faux loc wearers are going for. Unravelling may become an issue after this length of time, so you’ll want to make sure locs are well secured. Crocheted faux locs can last anywhere from 1-2 months, depending on how well you take care of them and how quickly your hair grows.
