Faux Locs & Loc Braids

Faux Locs & Loc Braids

Faux locs give you the look of locs without the long-term commitment. We stock around 50 styles for crochet and individual installs, including soft locs, butterfly locs, Mambo Born Locs, Baha Lox, Kinki Lox and Jamaican locks, from Janet Collection, Jazzy, Sleek, Angels and African Collection.

Which type do you need?

  • Pre-made crochet locs: finished locs hooked onto cornrows or individual braids. The quickest install.
  • Soft locs: lighter and more flexible, with a natural, lived-in look.
  • Butterfly locs: deliberately loopy and distressed.
  • Born locs and goddess locs: neat locs, some with curly ends.
  • Wrapping hair: Marley or water wave hair to wrap your own braids for a custom result.

Common questions

How many packs do I need? Usually five to eight packs of crochet locs. Double value packs go further.

How long do faux locs last? Four to eight weeks.

Are they heavy? Long, thick locs can be. Choose soft locs or a shorter length if you have a sensitive scalp or fine hair.

Faux Locs & Loc Braids FAQs

What are faux locs?
Faux locs are ready-made synthetic locs that give the look of dreadlocks without locking your own hair. Most are crocheted onto cornrows or individual braids.
What is the difference between butterfly locs and soft locs?
Butterfly locs have a looped, distressed texture for a messy, bohemian finish. Soft locs are smooth, light and flexible.
How long do crochet locs last?
With a satin bonnet at night and regular scalp care, most people wear them for several weeks. Take them down sooner if your scalp feels tight or sore.
