How To ➟ CROCHET FAUX LOCS 🔥 (NO cornrows, NO wrapping, free-parting!)

Hey everybody! I’m here with a tutorial showing how I did my individual crochet faux locs with no cornrows and no wrapping required! I used 5 packs of locs for this style.

How would you take them out ?

[@thechicnatural]

You simply find the beginning of the plait at the base, slide it up and out from the loc. Then you can either undo the knot and slide out from the plait, carefully cut just the loop of the loc and it comes right off the hair, or unbraid the plait and the loc should come off.

[@myriampierre8233]

[@kejio512]

I absolutely love it! I will try it on my daughter. And you look incredibly amazing! Thank you.

[@8nicolestarr]

TheChicNatural what length are the Locs?

[@LadiiBlues14]

Scheduled an appointment to get this done. Hairstylist said $250... immediately looked up "how to install faux locs" lol definitely doing this on my own.

[@a.douglas2504]

Two reasons I stopped getting the regular faux locs 1) the price in MULTIPLE countries was crazy 2) It takes TOO long. I went to crotchet faux locs and NEVER looked back

i saw this tutorial 3 years ago and have been doing this style ever since. i always get so many compliments and questions on how it’s done. best believe i send them right here! great video thank you 🙏🏾

[@marshallmays8171]

I love this!

[@suzg7425]

Absolutely gorgeous. I did this method all around the perimeter of my head, but cornrowed the rest. It turned out well and it took less time than the individual all over.

[@jaxco8421]

But why did a 5-year old video save my life? Need it for an upcoming trip and I'm loving how it looks so far. Only did 2 locs but it's such a vibe already!

You seriously just rescued me from going to a hairdresser which I hate cause I have coarse 4c hair and I hate the way they handle my hair (it hurts) Thank you. I am Grateful.

Yes! I was curious too...I wonder if they get tangled with the hair.

[@user-yd4tg4xw4k]

Theyloveliz I get the feeling the take down can lead to a tangled mess

[@nomD38]

I'm betting the take down you have to be really careful bc I like to cut my braids/ locs out. I can see where you can accidentally cut your real hair

[@Shon9tilR]

I did this and left this in for 3 months. Awesome style.

[@clutchesllc1930]

OMG! I love this method. I did faux locs in my moms hair this weekend. Had no idea what I was doing, just watched a few videos. But I braided her hair all the way to the end and attempted to wrap that braid into the loc. Some locs were really good and some were a hot mess and I could see the braid. But this method seems soooo much easier. I'm gonna try this if she wants me to do it again.

Going on vacation in 2 days, scheduled an appointment to have passion twist done for $200, day after I got my passion twist done, the twist started unraveling, causing me to panic. Given that I would be in and out of water and not up to bothering with my hair on vacation, I needed a quick fix. Found your video, order some crochet locs from Amazon, they’ll be here in the morning, and I’ll be using this method to install. I wish I’d found your video sooner. You’re a life saver! I won’t ever spend a dime paying someone for any style again!
