FAUX LOCS are another hot, hot style that Black women are sporting with pride. Faux locs pronounced "Foe Locs" come in a semi-permanent style in which a person's natural hair is parted into sections like individual braids or twists and then wrapped with yarn, synthetic or human hair. This temporary style can lasts up to three months or longer if maintained correctly. Faux Locs are considered to be a protective style because it doesn’t require chemicals or any physical altering of the your natural hair. Permanent FAUX LOCS are just that - Permanent! Because of its capability to remain, this is a hairstyle that one should seriously consider before having done. This style is generally wrapped with human hair around your natural hair, or actual human hair locs are attached to your roots. That’s right, dreadlocks from another person’s head are attached to yours. At some point, natural hair can be re-twisted and turned into a loc as the hair grows.
One should not be fooled by the term "Protective style" when getting this style done. Because it doesn't mean "Protective", therefore be neglectful of your own hair. Proper hair care and maintenance is an ABSOLUTE must when it comes to FAUX LOCS! Your scalp should be oiled daily, washed and conditioned at least every other week. Proper care of your Faux Locs will present a luxurious glow to your hair after the Faux Locs transformation!
Consider wearing a real satin bonnet at bed time with this style. The satin bonnet will prove to be very beneficial in preserving your hairstyle. It will also aid in keeping your hair moisturized.
