Protective Hairstyle: Yarn Faux Locs

Hey Loves,

I am back with another protective hair style ! Remember a while back I talked about how I would be installing faux locs soon as a protective hairstyle? Well I did and as usual I am loving them. This hairstyle normally takes me about a 12 hours to a day to complete depending on the mood I am in. This particular time I spent almost a day doing them (started at 3pm) because of course I had to break to eat, dance and watch movies ! Typical hair day for me ! Anyways I'm loving my hair and thought I would do a quick update on my new protective hairstyle ! I'll be making a couple of youtube videos featuring how I style my faux locs as well as maintenance ! I'll also be sure to put them on the blog as well !!

Faux locs: Kinky/Marley Hair vs. Yarn

*update

Hey dolls. I thought I'd make a post on Faux locs as a protective hair style as well as the difference between using kinky/marley hair or yarn locs to achieve them. I tend to switch up my hairstyles frequently, it's a bad habit of mine but all is fair when you know how to do your own hair :) ! I'm also that weird person who thinks of hairstyles months before they actually put it in, like I plan what hairstyle I'm going to do this month and that month. I'm not sure if that's weird or not, but I like to plan my hairstyles according to when I know I have big events coming up, a busy schedule, etc. So, since November I just knew Faux locs were going to be my next protective hair style. I normally do this style once a year with yarn but this time I started contemplating doing them with Marley hair. They seem to look a little more realistic then using yarn to wrap the hair. But then 4 days ago when I completed a Faux loc set on my mother using Marley hair, my mind changed. Again. Safe to say I'll be using my trusted yarn to complete this hair style once again and here's why. I also give the pro's and con's of using kinky/marley hair or yarn to complete this look. One day I'll do a Faux loc set using Kinky hair but not this time around.
