Faux Locs Hairstyles

Goddess Locs are a variant of the famed faux locs and are a deviant from the traditional style. Goddess locs give you a distressed and carefree appearance with their curls and twists that accentuate the style quotient.

This protective hairstyle can completely revamp your look with a beautiful and natural appearance. Goddess locs differ from traditional faux locs in terms of the softness of hair used. While faux locs mostly use human hair, goddess locs use synthetic extensions with a more lustrous look.

Installing Goddess Locs can be complicated. The hair is first divided into sections and then braided, after which the loc'd hair is looped into a wrapping pattern from the roots to the ends. The result is an incredibly easy-to-maintain style that lasts for 8-12 weeks.

Starter Locs, also known as baby or beginner locs, is the first stage of the hair loc process. While there are several ways to achieve a starter loc look, all of them are the primary step when you're going for a faux locs session at a hair salon.

Starter locs are a great way to check out if these dangling strands suit your style or not. Depending on your hair type and care, starter locs last for 3-5 months.

At Elite Braids and Weaving, we can create starter locs with the following styles:

  1. Two-strand twists

  2. Braids

  3. Loc extensions

  4. Backcombing

The methods are your prerogative, as you can choose any of the above depending on the length you need and the type of hair you have.

Faux locs styles come with many variants that promote the growth of your hair while preventing damage. One such variant is the butterfly or distressed locs.

Suggestive of the name, butterfly locks or distressed locs give the appearance of a butterfly, thanks to its wing-like characteristics spread throughout the locs. This wing-like characteristic makes butterfly locs different from other faux locs techniques.

The wing-like feature is achieved by holding a piece of hair outwards with the rest of the hair wrapped around the locs. Butterfly/distressed locs hair gives your hairstyle a modern, chic feel while also having the protective characteristics of faux locs dreads. As your natural hair is held together by extensions, they prevent breakage and other forms of damage to your hair.

Our stylists have decades of combined experience in creating butterfly locs with synthetic extensions on straight as well as textured hair. Book an appointment for gorgeous butterfly locs at Elite Braids and Weaving.
