Faux Locs

Faux (pronounced "foe") Locs are becoming a very popular protective style! You get the look of dreads without the actual commitment of growing them out. I have seen this done with Marley braid hair and also yarn & both look great!!

The most irritating thing about the locs are the burnt ends at the bottom that makes the hair stick together, but other than that, you can do anything with them. All down, all up, big bun, half up, half down, and the list goes on.

Crochet Braids Yaki .v. Marley Braid

Crochet braids are one of the most natural looking protective styles and I love them! 

People ask me what kind of hair I use and how many packs I use. 

Well I have a larger shape head than most, so I use 6 packs of hair and cut it in half. 

This is the Yaki hair. It's the cheap, 99 cent hair and I just wanted to try it out. The Yaki hair doesn't hold curls long but it does look good when they first come out. I would recommend buying it if you wanted to just wear it straight.
