2019 FAUX LOCS TREND, ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FAUX LOCS
Hey Queens
WHAT'STRENDING 😍
1: WHAT ARE FAUX LOCS :
Faux locs are basically commitment-free dreads. A fun alternative to braids or wearing your natural hair out, they’re perfect for anyone who wants a low maintenance way of switching up their look without damaging their hair.
Faux Locs are a good protective style, as the hair used to create the faux locs completely covers your natural hair,' explains expert afro hair stylist Charlotte Mensah. 'It's a great style for women who are transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, and it’s a way to get dread locs without having to make a permanent decision.'
There are two popular ways for achieving faux locs,' explains Afi. 'For a more natural look the hair is braided and then a coarse type of extension is wrapped around the braid, or they can be achieved by crocheting them onto corn rows.' The first (and most common) method that Afi mentions involves styling the hair into box braids, which are then wrapped in either yarn, kanekalon hair or marley hair to create the look of dread locs. This method also enables you to add a considerable amount of length to your own hair, meaning you can become an Afro Rapunzel without the hassle of weaves or wigs.

THINGS TO CONSIDER /THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE AND WHILE YOU GETTING YOUR FAUX LOCS
As fantastic as faux locs can be, naturally, they do have their down sides. The main con you’ll want to take into consideration while deciding if this is the right style for you is how heavy they can be. 'It’s like having box braids but with twice the amount of hair. The smaller the faux locs, the more packets of hair you’ll end up using, so the heavier it is on your head,' explains Afi.
Charlotte Mensah agrees: 'People should consider that, due to the amount of hair needed, faux locs can cause tension at the root of the hair, which can lead to hair breakage if the locs are too heavy.'
FAUX LOCS TREATMENT
To prevent the dreaded breakage, try to ensure your hair is in the best possible condition by pampering yourself with hair masks and leave-in conditioners in the run up to your hair appointment. The Cantu Shea Butter Natural Hair Deep Treatment Mask is a great affordable option that will leave your hair smelling beach holiday ready all day.

HOW TO MAINTAIN AND WASH YOUR FAUX LOCS
For first-timers, faux locs may seem like an intimidating style to look after, but the good news is that they’re actually one of the most low-maintenance styles that you can have.
'Maintaining faux locs is relatively easy,' says Mensah, 'it’s important to keep your scalp moisturised with oils. Faux locs can be gently washed once a week and naturally air dried, however due to the weight of the hair you may want to speed up the drying process by going under a hooded dryer.'

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES TO GET FAUX LOCS DONE
Cancel your weekend plans and stock up on snacks, because installing faux locs is no mean feat. 'It can take from 4 to 9 hours as the wrapping technique takes quite a while,'says Afi
Again, how long it takes is dependent on the technique you choose, as well as the length and thickness of the locs, so take this into consideration when deciding on your style.

WHAT IS GOODESS LOCS ?
goodess locs is just like every other locs , but this locs cones with extra , which Is the curly tip end and some are also mixed with curly crochet
HOW LONG DO FAUX LOCS LAST ?
if I should say from my experience it all depends , we have two kind of faux instalation
1: crochet instalation : this can last from 2 weeks to a month , and the hair is reusable..
2:Twist instalation: here we use the afro kinky hair to twist the hair into faux, this is a perfect protective style if you lazy , you can carry this hair for months , you can wash, motorize and continue .. note by: 3 month maximum
DO FAUX LOCS DAMAGE YOUR HAIR ?
No ,I havnt heard or experience any form of hair damaged due to faux locs instalation. It's a protective style that allows your hair to grow it also causes less strain unless the instalation was tight then there is a tendency for it to damage your hair
