Faux Locs Dreads

Goddess Locs are a variant of the famed faux locs and are a deviant from the traditional style. Goddess locs give you a distressed and carefree appearance with their curls and twists that accentuates the style quotient.

This protective hairstyle can completely revamp your look with a beautiful and natural appearance. Goddess locs differ from traditional faux locs in terms of the softness of hair used. While faux locs mostly use human hair, goddess locs use synthetic extensions with a more lustrous look.

Installing Goddess Locs can be complicated. The hair is first divided into sections and then braided, after which the loc'd hair is looped into a wrapping pattern from the roots to the ends. Goddess locs are also incredibly easy to maintain and can last for long with proper care. You can also visit a professional salon for touch-ups for a more permanent effect. Our hair stylists are also proficient in creating Goddess Locs with any length of hair that you desire. Contact Elite Braids and natural hair to book a session at any one of our salons in Houston to get beautiful Goddess locs.

Starter Locs, also known as baby or beginner locs, is the first stage of the hair loc process. While there are several ways to achieve a starter loc look, all of them are the primary step when you're going for a faux locs session at a hair salon.

Starter locs are a great way to check out if these dangling strands suit your style or not. They can last anywhere between 3-5 months depending on your hair type and the maintenance you accord to it.

At Elite Braids and natural hair, we create starter locs using any of the following methods as per your choice:

  1. Two-strand twists

  2. Braids

  3. Loc extensions

  4. Backcombing

The methods are your prerogative, as you can choose any of the above depending on the length you need and the type of hair you have.

Faux locs styles come with many variants that promote the growth of your hair while preventing damage. One such variant is the butterfly or distressed locs.

Suggestive of the name, butterfly locks or distressed locs give the appearance of a butterfly, thanks to its wing-like characteristics spread throughout the locs. This wing-like characteristic makes butterfly locs different from other faux locs techniques.

The wing-like feature is achieved by holding a piece of hair outwards with the rest of the hair wrapped around the locs. Butterfly/distressed locs hair gives your hairstyle a modern, chic feel while also having the protective characteristics of faux locs dreads. As your natural hair is held together by extensions, they prevent breakage and other forms of damage to your hair. At Elite Braids and natural hair, we use synthetic braided extensions to create stylish butterfly locs. Whether you want to sport the style on straight hair or textured hair, our expert hair stylists can achieve the best butterfly/distressed locs hair for you. Book a session at one of our salons in Houston to get the best butterfly/distressed locs hair that's fit for all casual occasions.
