Soft locs are an alternative to the classic dreadlocks hairstyle. They offer a unique look that is low maintenance and easy to care for. Unlike traditional dreadlocks, soft locs are not fully matted and can be styled in numerous ways.
Soft locs are created using a two-strand twist method, using either synthetic or human hair extensions. This method creates a knot-free, smooth transition between the strands that creates a more natural looking effect than regular dreadlocks. The two-strand twist technique allows you to create different shapes and sizes of soft locs, so you can customize your look to fit your personal style.
Another great benefit of soft locs is that they require very little maintenance. You can simply wash the extensions with shampoo and conditioner as needed, and use an oil or cream on your scalp to help keep it moisturized. Once the extensions are dry, you can style as desired with curl defining products or gels for added definition. Additionally, since soft locs don’t involve any knotting or locking techniques, they avoid damage to your natural hair from pulling or tugging.
How Long Do Soft Locs Last?
Soft locs can last anywhere from 6-12 weeks, but it is not recommended to wear them longer than that. The reason for this is because the hair can start to look greasy and matted aftr a while. Additionally, the locs may become loose and fall out.
