Locs and Faux Locs


Locs are great way to style afro textured hair because they embrace the natural hair texture rather than working against it. They also give people with thin delicate hair the chance to have thick tresses that grow to long lengths. For people who want the look of locs without the commitment faux locs are a great alternative. Actress Meagan Good popularised the faux loc look a few years ago and since then many people have followed suit.

It's great to see black and biracial people embracing natural styles as it shows the world that afro textured hair is something to be proud of. More recently actress and talk show host Tamera Mowry sported faux locs at an award show and I'm sure that she will inspire many of her followers to adopt the style. Afro hair is fun and versatile so it's great that we can wear our hair in different styles. Kinky, coily, curly, wavy or straight it's all beautiful.
