How to Install Faux Locs
There are two types of faux locs installation methods.
The ready made faux locs which are installed using the crotchet method and the faux locs which are braided.
For the latter, extensions such as yarn, synthetic and human hair are used.
Yarn locs are preferred due to their smooth and lightweight nature while synthetic hair such as marley hair and kanekalon hair perfectly mimic natural hair.
If you want goddess locs, opt for human hair extensions to give your locs the shiny and silky look.
If you prefer faux locs with a thick look, you’re going to need the Janet Collection Afro Twist Marley Braid or the Kanekalon soft dreadlocks which you’ll then wrap using the Afro Kinky Marley Twist extensions.

Pull one side in and ensure that one side is longer than the other. Take your Cuban twist hair and loop it into your braided hair too.
Ensure that it’s also longer on one side.
Use the Cuban twist hair to wrap both your braided hair and the deep twist hair all the way until you get to the bottom.
Use nail glue to secure the Cuban twist hair to the deep twist hair where the Cuban twist hair ends.
