Individual Crochet Faux Locs Styling

I still have my individual crochet locs on my head, and at this rate I'm not 100% sure when I'll take them off, because I'm lazy I keep finding new ways to style them. I thought I'd share photos of some of the styles I've done - and all of them were done WITHOUT any tools at all. Not one hair band, or pin, or anything!

What style's your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

Individual Crochet Faux Locs!

As you might remember, I did crochet faux locs 2 years ago - see post here. I absolutely loved the look on me, and think it was one of my best looks ever. It hurt a lot for the first few days though, so I was never sure I'd try them again.

However, I found a new method of getting crochet faux locs done and amazingly was able to recreate it myself!

The method I used is in the video below:

Popular Natural Hairstyle Trends of 2015

Hello hello!

With each year there is a definite fuss over particular hairstyles which seem to have everyone enthralled. Here's a quick look-see at the most popular styling trends of 2015 in the natural hair community.

1. Faux Locs

Faux locs began to pick up in late 2014 and by March of 2015 they were definitely the in-thing, and still happen to be quite popular. Faux locs give you the versatility of rocking locs without having to commit to years of growing them out full and long. The downside to them is that most have complained that they can be heavy on the pocket..and your scalp especially if kanekalon extensions are used. For lighter and easier to carry dreads, opt for yarn or marley hair. You can take it up a notch by going for ombred dreads or fiery red to switch from the traditional black or brown. As with all protective styles, they should not be kept in for more than 8 weeks to avoid your hair locking. Do take care if you have a sensitive hairline as some have complained of losing their hairlines to the beautiful style. You want want to DIY it rather than go to the hairdresser if you have concerns about your edges.
