TIRED OF HEAVY HAIR STYLES

Do Your Braids Feel Too Stiff And Uncomfortable?

It is difficult to feel your best when your hairstyle feels like a heavy weight on your head. Many people want the look of long hair or locs but struggle with styles that are too rigid, making it impossible to put their hair in a bun or sleep comfortably. If you are frustrated by a lack of movement or if your scalp feels constantly stressed by heavy extensions, you need a style that is soft, flexible, and easy on your roots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for installing faux locs?

The process involves first braiding your natural hair or using a crochet method. Extension hair is then wrapped around the braid to create the appearance of a natural loc. Our Los Angeles stylists focus on a secure wrap that provides a realistic texture without adding excessive weight or tension to your scalp.

What is the difference between Senegalese and Marley twists?

Senegalese twists use a smooth, silky extension hair for a sleek and polished look. Marley twists use a coarser, kinky texture that mimics natural hair more closely. Both styles use a two-strand twisting method and are popular in Los Angeles for their flexibility, ease of styling, and lightweight feel.

How long do twists and faux locs typically last?

Twists and faux locs generally last between six to eight weeks. Because locs often look more natural as they age, many clients enjoy the longevity of this style. Maintaining them involves protecting your hair at night with a silk bonnet and keeping your scalp moisturized with light oils to prevent dryness.

Are faux locs heavy on natural hair?

When installed by a professional, faux locs should not feel overly heavy. We carefully manage the amount of extension hair used to ensure the style remains comfortable. It is important to choose a size and length that your natural hair can safely support, which we discuss during your initial consultation.

Can twists be washed while they are installed?

Yes, you can wash your twists, but it should be done carefully to prevent frizz. We recommend focusing on cleansing the scalp and rinsing through the lengths without vigorous rubbing. Properly drying the twists afterward is essential to maintain the style. Many clients prefer using a dry shampoo or scalp rinse for maintenance.
