    I love my faux locs!! I get them done all the time. I paid around $140 and that’s for the hair, paying my stylist and the tip. It really depends on where you’re located 💕

    I have a pretty full head of hair and I only needed 3 packs of loc hair for 24 inches and I think it feels perfectly full. Not too heavy, not too thin. I did not want bulky, heavy, weighty hair.

    I paid $20 for the faux locs...about 6-7 packs, and about $10 for the wrapping hair.
    MOST of the time the crochet needle is included when you purchase the faux locs from Amazon.
    Very inexpensive and low maintenance protective style that's too cute!

    I went to my local beauty store and bought some 2 packs of spring twist and 2 packs of nu locks and it cost me $60 bucks. It just depends on the brand you buy. Mines came out nice and not too bulky with the new method floating around on RUclips on how to achieve Flat soft locs

    • @Stylesbymichal

    I got waist length textured locs and I’ve had them in for 5 weeks now. The length is definitely starting to get a lil heavy & the fuzzies are annoying. I’m gonna cut mine to bra strap length to see if that helps.

      @Stylesbymichal  2 года назад

      Thank you. ❤️❤️ I prefer light oils for my scalp. Either jojoba oil, almond oil. I use rosemary oil for stimulating my scalp. I recommend to place the oil not directly on the scalp but on the hair as close to the scalp as possible.

      Mine does. Every time I let it out of the bonnet to style or so there's alot of small hair on the floor. I washed it yesterday after having it in for 7 wks and thought that would have helped. I'm not sure if it's the hair used to wrap it the soft locs itself.
