Faux locs: the loc look without the wait

Real locs take months and years to grow. Faux locs give you the same look in a day — without permanently changing your hair.

What are faux locs?

Your hair is first braided or twisted, then extension hair is wrapped around it. The result looks like mature locs — with the texture, weight and movement of real ones.

Types

  • Classic faux locs — straight, neat, with sealed ends.
  • Goddess locs — with curly ends and some loose curls along the length.
  • Butterfly locs — deliberately messy with loops, playful and boho.
  • Soft locs — lighter and softer, made with a special hair that wraps faster.

Are they heavy?

Faux locs are a bit heavier than braids. That is why we always adapt thickness and length to your hair — for finer hair we choose soft or thinner locs and a shorter length.

Install and wear time

Installation takes 5 to 7 hours and the style lasts 6 to 8 weeks. They are ideal if you are thinking about real locs and want to try the look first.
