Faux Mermaid Locs Inspired by Glolocs💙

Hello everyone💙
This is my first time trying this style and I came up with this method on my own. I plan to refine it in the future to make it more sleek. I definitely have more ideas. I will upload an updated version eventually. Just for context the creator glolocs interlocked loose pieces of human hair into her natural locs, I loved the style but I said I gotta find a way to make this a faux version so here it is.
I will be uploading a separate video explaining how I part, layer, and section these Locs so be on the look out and turn on your notification bell! I hope you all enjoy, just know I tried to reduce the steps as much as I could to make it diy friendly, but carve out a couple of days to do your hair. Create a work flow and get it going. You definitely can do this have a little patience and find your rhythm💙

🗣️Part 2 is here!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5mkdqqVjLOBm9U 4 week Update kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJPbn4B9rrqmidk How to remove them kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYiUkIJ8hqqBqqs ‼️Update‼️CROCHET your wrapping hair under your natural hair/braid especially if your hair is thin like mine because it will slip‼️ shows parting & how many locs are in each row, layers, how many wispy pieces were used per loc, how the synthetic hair was used. It’s a complete reference guide hope this helps! 💙💙💙

Black women are soooo creative and innovative sheesh I love us 😍

[@carynprince]

Thank you so much I love us too💙💙💙

[@allnatural6963]

She just changed the faux locs game with this technique ❤

[@carynprince]

Thank you 💙

[@nnekaokeke1078]

Not gonna lie white girls been doing this exact style for years

[@sunshineloveyasharal4768]

@@nnekaokeke1078you tlm bout for this same style ?

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

Girl this is FFFIIIIRRRREEEE!!!!

[@carynprince]

Thank you💙

[@saywhatsaywhat]

I second this notion! 🤩😍👍🏾👌🏾

[@damedench]

I love this method of adding the tracks in!! I bought some bundles recently to do a similar loc style but the idea of cutting the hair clean off the track didn’t sit right with me!! Your method increases the reusability of the hair, 10 fold!!

[@carynprince]

Yay, this was exactly why I did it because we can’t just keep throwing this human hair away all the time, cause man lol

[@angellakeshiatisdale7929]

Exactly I just took this style down. I hated cutting the hair off the track. I’m glad this technique is shown. I didn’t think of doing that.

[@niecygandy8911]

Your hair looks so pretty but for me it's too much work lol

[@futuremindstutoringco.7338]

I like the creativity and I like the style but this is too much for me.

[@LotusLotus1979]

Subscribed bc sis is not gate keeping. She got an abundance mindset and said it’s enough for all of us sis❤ go and look good and do u😊

[@carynprince]

It’s enough for us all and we deserve it. Thank you for noticing and subscribing appreciate you💙🥰💙

[@empressmanifest]

Girl WHAT!!! I’ve been wearing faux locs for 6 mos straight and don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. This video is heaven sent. Can’t waittttt to try this version for my summer vacay next month!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@carynprince]

🥰 I hope you enjoy the style and your vacay💙

[@Pokemonfan543]

How do you maintain it for 6 months?

[@empressmanifest]

@@Pokemonfan543 I redo them every 2 months

[@ashbryles8091]

Oh...you done did something right here! Def makes sense. I hate having to add the loose ends with bulk hair. Using the hair on mini tracks makes so much sense, and its still easy to take down. Cut unwrap and cut the rubber band. Genius!

[@carynprince]

Lol thank you so much! And yes exactly it’s that simple!💙💙💙

[@His_ChristieRose]

You of course are the MOST beautiful! This style is amazing! I already see summer will be gorgeous and flowy with us queens rocking this! 😍

[@carynprince]

🥺thank you so much 🥰yes I’m definitely going to be installing these again as well💙

[@teamcambri3196]

So why did I just switch up my whole entire hair style after watching this!! ❤️♥️♥️♥️❤️💕

[@arielmaliha]

I like the flow Not too much braid, twist or loc Just a nice flowy style that’ll let my scalp breathe and last awhile ❤

[@kimberlycinque7752]

This was crystal clear, as always we love 🥰

[@carynprince]

Thank you so much💙💙🥰

[@PhiraPhierce]

I definitely saw her video and got super inspired. As a stylist that specializes in locs, this is the reason I want to go ahead and loc my natural hair. I love trying so many different looks with my hair but at this point in my career I’m styled out so this is great inspiration 😍😍😍 With this video! I may have found the loop hole😍

[@carynprince]

I totally understand I love changing my hair all the time so I get it. Glad to have help💙💙💙

[@tosha2mer121]

You always explain your tutorial’s with great details.

[@PrettyCurliyBri18]

This is the best instruction and presentation. I needed this. I'm 30 and never felt confident with braiding my own hair.

[@carynprince]

You got this!!☺️💙

[@stephaniethomas2687]

Hunny I love it, I’m gonna rock this style out next month. Keep motivated people hunny to create styles. Back in the day I was doing everybody hair and never would I have thought to teach people. Today I still do my own hair, and I love when people asked me who did it. Getting hair done has always been something I couldn’t afford to because I have babies to take care of. 25 years later and I’m still doing my own hair. So when I see videos like these, it takes me back. Thanks for the tutorials, I just subscribed today to your channel.

[@carynprince]

Thank you so much, this comment really touched my heart in ways you can’t understand. I definitely understand where you are coming from, I’ve been doing my own hair primarily since I was in middle school. I really love to help in anyway I can with this so I’m just here to share!💙💙💙

[@obriona]

I’m doing this to my hair soon! Thank you so much for this upload! You’re a Life saver🙌🏾

[@carynprince]

[@jamillewade2352]

This was excellent. Such a smart technique. I love that you are saving the tracs.

[@carynprince]

Thank you I just couldn’t bare to dispose all that hair lol gotta get a bang outta these bucks!💙

[@atachemondestin8349]

Bro!!!! I’ve been going over and over in my head for MONTHS how ima do my locs with bundles without cutting the bundles and without crocheting or doing a lot. I came up with an idea like this but wasn’t sure if it would work and hadn’t decided how I’d get the hair to stay without it coming off. This sounds like a bunch of rambling but I say all that to say THIS video right here! Ima take some steps from your method and mix it with the one I had in my head and I just know it’s gunna work and ima love it 🥰. So anywho, thank you!

[@carynprince]

Listen , I’m happy I can help! A lot of people just have wefts/ tracks sitting around now we can use them!!💙💙💙

[@99brushes]

Yall i JUST finished mine. It doesn't look as BOMB as yours Caryn but, i still need to style it and go back in to fix a couple areas. I cant wait to feel more comfortable in it and SHOW OUUUTTT!!!!

[@carynprince]

Yay I love it! I’m sure it looks amazing lol💙💙💙

[@Faaade_]

@Blackbird I can't lie, it'd a compliment magnet. I wore it out yesterday and all I could sat was "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank youuuu"😂. I'm definitely doing it again.
