Faux Mermaid Locs Inspired by Glolocs💙
Hello everyone💙
This is my first time trying this style and I came up with this method on my own. I plan to refine it in the future to make it more sleek. I definitely have more ideas. I will upload an updated version eventually. Just for context the creator glolocs interlocked loose pieces of human hair into her natural locs, I loved the style but I said I gotta find a way to make this a faux version so here it is.
I will be uploading a separate video explaining how I part, layer, and section these Locs so be on the look out and turn on your notification bell! I hope you all enjoy, just know I tried to reduce the steps as much as I could to make it diy friendly, but carve out a couple of days to do your hair. Create a work flow and get it going. You definitely can do this have a little patience and find your rhythm💙

🗣️Part 2 is here!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5x1p9mYh7G0ldY.html 4 week Update kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJas0K-AqbjZg9o.html How to remove them kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYtlwbF_gai0pKw.html ‼️Update‼️CROCHET your wrapping hair under your natural hair/braid especially if your hair is thin like mine because it will slip‼️ shows parting & how many locs are in each row, layers, how many wispy pieces were used per loc, how the synthetic hair was used. It’s a complete reference guide hope this helps! 💙💙💙

Hunny I love it, I’m gonna rock this style out next month. Keep motivated people hunny to create styles. Back in the day I was doing everybody hair and never would I have thought to teach people. Today I still do my own hair, and I love when people asked me who did it. Getting hair done has always been something I couldn’t afford to because I have babies to take care of. 25 years later and I’m still doing my own hair. So when I see videos like these, it takes me back. Thanks for the tutorials, I just subscribed today to your channel.

This sounds like a bunch of rambling but I say all that to say THIS video right here!

Before removing them, you should color the end a bit Edit: I use 2 and a half bundles of organique body waves. All synthetic ( didn't like it, was too straight. Might use their curly weaves next time) For warping I use 2 and half bag of lulutress island twist 18in ( didn't cut it, use two strand to warp)

I'm very late hopping on this style. What i did was use some old croquet faux locs, not the soft ones, plait the human hair at the bottom after unravelling the locs. I plait it tightly Then i wrapped each loc with xpression twisted up and secure the wispy parts while wrapping twice. Wash in vinegar and shampoo, let it drain, then i dipped all the locs in hot water. This made the whole loc cohesive with the human hair as the hot water straightened the twisted up hair i use to wrap. I ended up with soft locs that blends in texture with the human hair.... I will croquet in and resuse. Ps. Wrap each loc tight as the hot water will condense and can loosen the twisted up hair. ❤
