Faux Locs for the Summer? Here’s what you need to know.

Are you thinking of getting faux locs done for the summer? Here are the basics you need to know to make informed decisions along the way.

What are Faux Locs?

Simply put, faux locs are fake dreadlocs done using human hair, yarn, or synthetic braiding hair such as Kanekelon hair. They serve as a protective hairstyle, similar to box braids.

Different Methods for getting faux locs done?

Faux locs can be done using the “original method” which involves wrapping braided hair with the hair extension; or they can be done by crocheting them into braided hair. Usually, the crochet method takes less time and costs less money.

How good the hair looks depends on the stylist, so make sure to choose the right one. We have listed some useful tips for finding the right hairstylist for any hair style that you would find helpful. Also, the Bantu app can help connect you with a stylist in your area.
