How Long Do Faux Locs Last?

One of the best parts about faux locs? They’re not just cute; they’re durable. Typically, faux locs can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them. Remember, keeping your scalp moisturized and wrapping your hair at night will go a long way in maintaining your locs’ fresh look and preventing them from getting frizzy..

How to Style Faux Locs

Alright, now let’s get into the fun part – styling those faux locs! These babies are super versatile. You can rock them down and flowy, throw them up into a high bun, or even pull them back into a sleek ponytail. Feeling a bit fancy? Decorate them with some gold or silver hair cuffs, beads, or shells to add that extra oomph. Whether you’re stepping out for a night on the town, heading to work, or just hanging out at a weekend BBQ, faux locs can be styled to fit any occasion.
