If you want a contemporary style that protects your locks, try short faux locs. Unlike real locs, these extensions require no long-term commitment and can be worn by any hair type. Dreads are often associated with long lengths, but are also beautiful in cropped shapes. Read on to learn more about this trending look.

Faux locs can be created by wrapping your own hair with extensions or by attaching ready-made strips using the crochet method. They're great for trying out different lengths or colors and don't require daily styling.

Shoulder-length locks can be unruly if you have curly or frizzy hair. This design offers a worry-free solution. Locs streamline your look and prevent triangular head and flyaways. Wrapping a section or two with bright string is a fantastic way to customize.

Small short faux locs create a delicate, feminine look. This variation works well on fine or low-density moons. The small strings move and flow like loose hair. The deep blue shade is unusual, attractive and modern.
