Faux locs give you the look of mature locs without the long-term commitment. At TJ’s Hair Braiding in St. Louis, we create soft locs, distressed locs, goddess locs, and other faux loc styles with attention to natural-looking texture.
Faux locs are installed by wrapping braiding hair or loc extensions around a braided or twisted base. Depending on the technique and hair used, they can look smooth and uniform or textured and distressed for a more lived-in appearance.
Who is this style for?
Faux locs are ideal for anyone curious about the loc look without the permanent commitment. They work across hair types and can be styled up, down, or in a half-up look.
