Shorter faux locs can also work as dreadlocks without having to lock your hair.protective style that allows you to experiment with dreadlocks without actually having to lock your hair.

The beauty about this style according to it’s creator, Camella of Fort Lauderdale, FL is that “the older they get the better they look over time. If installed properly, there’s less tension on your hair which results in no damage, just protection.”

Camella’s most important advice is for you to know that “hair care starts before the install. I cannot stress this enough. You have to take care of your hair before installing the faux locs simply because you will not have access to the shaft of your hair only the roots. This will prevent your hair from drying out.”
