Faux Locs were a trend a few years ago. Now, it’s a movement.

It is almost as if every girl secretly wanted dreadlocs but didn’t have the patience and so this hairstyle became the perfect way to release their ‘inner goddess’ in a matter of hours.

There are countless videos on Youtube that show you how to achieve this look – however the concept of faux locs is still very much “american wonder” to most people. This is because it is a truly genius technique that really makes you wonder – who sat down to think about this?

In order to achieve this look – you simply get your hair twisted (or braided) with afro-kinky hair and use the same hair to wrap around the twist (like thread) and burn or tie the tips. If you want the curly tips (goddess locs) you simply twist your afro kinky hair with curly synthetic (or human hair if you have Megan Good money) and leave the ends loose – kind of like ‘pick and drop’.

The end result is a super chic, cool and easy hairstyle that works as perfectly as a protective style for your hair during the dry season. Here are 40 girls rocking their faux locs like they were born with it!

Warning: Each photo will hit you with a severe dose of black girl magic. Stay ready.
