Faux locs in Tampa

Dreadlocks are a type of protective hairstyle that many people long to achieve, but did you know that dreads can take around ten months to two years on average to fully mature your dreadlocks? But not to worry, if you’ve always wanted to rock some locs, hope is not lost! You can pull off an almost indistinguishable effect with faux locs.

What are faux locs and how do they work? Faux locs go by quite a few different names, they’re also known as synthetic dreads, dread extensions, or even cyberlocs. In any case, they’re a style of doing hair that is designed to mimic the look of dreadlocks. The biggest benefit to faux locs is that they’re the ultimate timesaver, taking only around four to nine hours to fully install. And though this may seem like a lot of time to spend in the salon chair, for many, it beats maintaining authentic dreads for months (or even years) to obtain the desired look. Another advantage of getting faux locs in comparison to genuine dreadlocks is that getting them is completely commitment-free. Because dreadlocks take so long to mature, they’re not for people who like to change their hairstyle on a whim. Whereas with faux locs, they can get taken out just as easily as they’re put in—giving you the ultimate versatility and the freedom to go for different hairstyles in the near future. The first step in getting faux locs installed is first braiding the hair into individual plaits. The braids will be the basis for creating the locs, so they’ll be done according to your desired length and thickness. Once the braids are complete, your stylist will take pieces of extension hair and wrap them around each braid, essentially forming a dreadlock-like strand. This process is repeated until the entire head is complete. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect your faux locs to last around six to eight weeks. If you implement the proper care and maintenance into your hair regimen, you can keep your faux locs looking fresh for a while. It’s all about keeping your scalp and hair moisturized! Likewise, you can minimize the risk of frizz and flyaways by wrapping your faux locs at night in a silk scarf or bonnet.  How do I choose the best service for faux locs in Tampa?  On Booksy, our users decide which services are best by leaving behind credible and honest reviews—which makes searching easy!
