Common Questions
What is the difference between faux locs and crochet locs?
Faux locs are wrapped around each braid individually. Crochet locs are pre-made and looped through a cornrow base. Crochet is faster but faux locs have a different finish.
Are faux locs heavy?
Heavier than braids, yes. But properly installed, the weight is distributed evenly.
Can I wash faux locs?
Yes. Gently on the scalp with diluted shampoo.
