What kind of hair you use
I want to commend all the skilled hair care stylists who have mastered this art. You are doing a great deal for the self-esteem of black men and women.
I need your phone number because I need my hair done the same way
Girl I did my own and it took me TWO DAYS to finish them😩😩😩😩. I understand!!
LOL I did mine and it took me 10 days and then some because they puffed up... I'm a guy and that was not working for me, and then I had the nerve to add some color... I only did like 6 inches on top and 3-4 on the sides and back... January will be 4 years, it's down my back... I can tell the difference in the hair but I don't care... That was a lot of work and I love the way it hangs
Daaamn😂😂😂😭😭
Imma sit back for now😂😂
Same here
Lol First Time Doing Mine By Myself And Girlllllllll I Only Didd 35% So Far Lol. Tomorrow I'll Do Another 35%
@@hood-xl7392 One Day?? Wow I Need To Be More Focus Like You 😭😭
Someone prob already said this earlier in the comments, but you save time by using the hair that is already coiled in lock form, you manually created them which is 100times more time consuming, but of course it gives you depth of experience for the stylist that wishes to broaden their skillset, so hats off to you for all your labor!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes you're right! I use crochet hair quite often. Thanks hun!
The way I normally cut down the time for doing my faux locs is I use a looser textured hair and do more of a butterfly loc then the style you did in the video. Using a looser hair texture makes you wrap faster because you don't have to wrap so tight and uniform. You did a great job tho, I love them!
Why I'm all in the girl phone like guhhh who dat🤣🤣🤦
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Same😆😆
Ikr😂
I love it. And yes it takes 6 hours the braid part is simple but I swear the wrap part 🤦🏾♀️😢😢😢😢 it seems like forever
Girl you ain't never lied lol!
The crazy thing it’s the opposite way for me the parting takes forever 😩
I do faux Locs and it only take me 3/4 hours to do waist length Locs
Te'Neshia Damianos what’s your method
Brandi McCormickr I don’t braid it all the way out ... sometimes I do the elastic method where I don’t braid it at all
I appreciate you for the legit explanation! It’s such a satisfying video to watch
Your professional is 💯
Your client is such a beauty and her brows are slaying
Thank you so much, what a beautiful thing to say! Be sure to subscribe!! My next video will be a giveaway 🎊🎉🎊🎉
You did a great job. My first time doing these by hand it took me 12 hours.. I have a love/hate as well with this style thats why I tax $225 plus...God bless you lovely
Thank you so much! They just take so long lol and I certainly don't blame you for that price, for 12 hrs shoot I'd probably charge more than that!
It only took my stylist 4 n half hour's , exact same method and my hair is beautiful just got mines done yesterday
That's awesome
@@NiqueLynn yes it doesn't take long
I just got these done in Africa & it only took about an hour & a half, what they do here is pull your natural braid into the lock with the crochet hook
FIRST of all Thank You. I have watched quite a bit of "faux loc" videos and yours is, by far the best!!! Very informative and such a really nice vibe, you're awesome and God's continued Blessings to you.
Oh my goodness thank you. I am not super confident when it comes to faux locs. I really appreciate this comment. May God's blessings and peace rest on you!
That quote at the end is powerful. The style came out nicely
I love how these stylist just learn from each other even though this technique is used all the time for box braids and other styles
EXCELLENT JOB. I LOVE HOW YOU TOOK TIME TO EXPLAIN IT ALL TO US! THIS IS NEXT LOOK!
Hi Tina, thank you!!!😍😍😍 just an update tip, use a little of the marley hair to braid your natural hair first. I think it helps the loc to hold even better when its time to twist 😊
Thank you for the tutorial, I absolutely appreciate your honesty!!
Thanks! Your video helped me on my first occasion of adding my own locks!! Really appreciate! Have a blessed day!
Glad to hear! Thank you love!
Just gorgeous work. I’ve done it to my own hair. Try braiding her own hair at the root only and twist the rest it will cut at lest two hours. Of course you can always do the crochet.
Thank you soo much and Thank you for the tip. I did them again today and it took even longer smh. But they were longer than the ones in this video.🤦🏾♀️
Amazing work! May God bless your hands & everything you touch!!!! Thank you for sharing .useful technique
I receive that in Jesus name! Thank you!
I love your honesty..People dont realize..that being a braid technician is hard hard work and I appreciate y'all..OAN..little Mama's eyebrows r on point💜💜 her hair is pretty too
I appreciate that, thank you so much! We put in A LOT of work and it's nice when it's recognized! ❤
Love how ur honest uk ....its nice to see this 1st I've seen n so far u look like u got it under control. Gr8 job
Awww thank you. Welcome to my channel! Enjoy! 🙂
Is 6 to 7 hours supposed to be a long time? My hair always takes that long
It definitely was for me at that time, but now I've gotten somewhat used to it
Yeah that is kind of long. When I usually go to my regular braider it takes 3hrs the most for a full head of medium box braids and twist are usually 2hrs depending on the size. But this style does take a longer time because it’s tedious.
I offer this hairstyle to my clients. It is an all day process😫
It really is an all day thing. I give kudos to those who can do it in 3-4 hours. We'll get there 😊
Mercie
Must be some sort of short cut or they crochet them in lol
CallMeSupreme they crochet the middle and braid the front and the lower back of the head
@@oliviaseed1199 oh I see thanks
As much as you don't like braiding the faux locs you're still so good at doing them. Your work is so neat! 🔥🔥🔥
Awww thank you!❤
I really love your teaching, indid it seems every simple.
Thank you so much!
Those are GORGEOUS!!!!I LOVE DOING FAUX LOCS❤❤
Thank you! They are so nice once they are finished. They just take awhile lol
@@NiqueLynn ohhhh yes ma'am! I totally agree
Do you know how much 1 pack of beach curl freetress hair is ? And 1 pack of Marley hair is ?
Very nice...I love your honest opinions and advice you add in your videos
Thank you Stephanie I really appreciate this!
Absolutely beautiful! And I loved the video. Thanks Queen!
Wow, thank you!❤
I ABSOLUTELY love this...the color, how you blended them, the method. I'm definitely going to mimic this style. Thank you!
Thank you! When you do yours be sure to braid a little of the marley hair into your hair 🤗
@@NiqueLynn OhMuhGawd! Thank you for taking any time out to say that to me 😍😍😍 That is so nice and i absolutely appreciate it. This just made my day! Thank you so much!
I really like how you broke everything down and got straight to the point they are so beautiful and I really would like to try these. New subscriber!
Oh woww! Thank you so much. If you try them be sure to add a little hair to the braid. I actually have an updated video for these so be sure to check that out as well. Thank you so much for commenting and subscribing
@@NiqueLynn You're welcome and Thank you! 😙
Beautiful now that’s what I want. God bless your hands.🙏🏾
Thank you love so much!!!!
Beautiful job. I’m right behind you.
This is Gorg😍 I love your work and I’m loving the color.
Thank you so much!!😊
I love the style, I would want this to put my locs in a protective style for some months. It very hard to find people that can do this especially on locs. I moved outside of Jacksonville Florida, and I tell you the it is so frustrating to find someone to do these types of styles, you have a love hate with them...but you do beautiful work. God bless you too keep it going!
Oh wow somehow I am just seeing this! Thank you!!! Do you have Instagram? Sometimes that a great search tool to find people in your area😊
Nice hair style how will it look with lines

Hi and me too i want this style but see i really don't know what to buy can Afro kink twist works guys?
They came out really pretty, I like your video. It’s straight to the point. Just need to show how you seal the ends. 👍🏾
Thank you for the compliment and the suggestion. I do have another video that I believe has more details. Will you check it out and let me know what you think? czcams.com/video/GnAZjSJHeCM/video.html
Thank goodness for the crochet alternative
Both ways have their benefits but I love this for a more natural look
Very Neat! Good job and God bless you too☺
You did a wonderful job. Her hair is gorgeous.
Fabulous! Love your work and your positivity. I enjoyed watching. Thank you.
Aww Kim thank you. That means alot to me especially because someone said, I was being so negative! I'm so glad you enjoyed
@@NiqueLynn We take the bad with the good. Just makes the good sweeter. But I regularly am on YT, rarely post, I think you are incredibly positive. I didn't hear or see an ounce of negativity. Many blessings to you.
@@kimkay2571 Exactly! Thank you for that reminder!
Looks great😊😍trying these myself on this weekend
Thank you! You will love it! Check out this vid for the update!😍

I love how I can find relatable videos to my culture my weave is my life and so many times people say that we shouldn’t wear it😍😍
What kind of curly hair is that you’re using
Awesome job how inspiring to see someone do this cause I’m new to these locks and this makes me want this. So you did great 👍🏾
Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
God Bless you and may He continue to Bless the work of your hands IJN. The hairstyle was beautiful
Thank you so much for that blessing! I receive it In Jesus' Name, God is AWESOME!
This looks beautiful 😍
Thank you love!
Your voice sounds so relaxing.God bless u also" nice job.💖
Awww thank you ❤
I do this myself and it always turns out great in about 4-5hours. I croquet it individuallly in the back and the top half I do your method!
I've done mine as well but I used Bobbi Boss Nu Locs. What kind of hair do you like to use?
@@NiqueLynn Always use te marley brand. They are pre-done locs. I crochet those at the back of my hair. Then I box braid the front. My clients also like the Marley brand.
Crochet not croquet LOL!
Babes it’s my autocorrect🤣‼️
Beautiful Work!!!!!!
Very pretty. You did a wonderful job! God bless
Thank you and God Bless you as well Shelly!
You did an awesome job👌👌👌I love love love it👍👌👍👌❤❤
Awww thank you!!!!!
Wonderful love it..and thanks for ur honesty with the time it take to do..
Wow you did a beautiful job and your client looks great.
Thank you and yes she is very beautiful!
You do beautiful work..Excellent job! I love it
Thank you so much for taking to the time to share that compliment! I really appreciate it!
New to your channel but really enjoyed this video. Please continue to provide more so that we may be able to see your wonderful work.
Thank you so much! And also thank you for the encouragement. I am working on a NEW 🤗 faux loc video today! Also I am currently doing a give away. I will link the giveaway video in the description!
I used to do these on myself and clients back in 1995 and we called them Silky Locs . It used to take me 20 hours. I used to braid the hair with extensions then leave out a 4th piece to wrap around , I wore mine for like a year and did them for models in fashion shows every one loved them on me. About to turn my box braids into these right now and upload a video to my channel when I’m done. My real hair never locked in with the hair. All my hair did was grew long and the older they got they looked so natural
That is definitely a method I've never see. It would be awesome for you to do a video!❤️
@@NiqueLynn great idea!!! I just wrapped some of my box braids with a few faux Locs .I posted a video on my channel . But I will post one when I do the other technique.
Thank you so much for this video. I normally get box braids but wanted to do sumthin different this is my first time getting faux Locs and let me tell you I was at the shop for about 7 hours she took her time and did my hair and it came out amazing! These aren't for people who are tender-headed like me lol but I'm in love this with this hairstyle. Head still hurts one day in but Beautiful video by the way!
You are so welcome and thanks love! I really commend though who can do it faster lol
Beautyful!!!😍 New subbie!!!😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😍
well you did a beautiful job!
Thank you doll. I'm going to be trying them again this week!
A much make
Very good explanation and presentation and the end product is dope 💯
Thank you 🙏
These look very nice. I know its tedious but you did a great job.
Thank you so much!
Very pretty I'm about to start practicing my clients are awaiting for me do do...you said something very key you need time to do these....thanks for sharing !
Very welcome. Be sure to add a little piece of braiding hair to their natural hair
You did a great job! I'm new to your channel. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you love, I appreciate that!
wow you did it a professional awesome job you definitely should continue to style the faux locs perfect
Thank you so much i will certainly consider it. ❤
Looks gr8 sis!!
I just love it ,specially for me it perfect😊
I feel the same way when I do them you’re the first person I heard say that out loud they are tedious but so beautiful
We gotta keep real ya know 😊 thank you for sharing
You've mastered faux locks!! ❤️
Thank you, you’re far too kind😍
Never a mind you have mentioned it in your video and in your link
Beautiful ❤️....I will try this one day when I have the patience....cuz whoo Chile!!!
Girlfriend let me tell you hunnyyyy it is a job lol. I would do one thing differently next time and that is add some of the cuban twist to the client's natural hair.
@@NiqueLynn ee's ddfghjklo9s223478448
Love how you talk with us and explain, that is so beneficial to the art and lifestyle
Thank you so much! I watch a lot of you tube videos and I know I comprehend better when both seeing and hearing it be explained simultaneously! I still have some tweaking to do with these, and I'll be sure to share when I do. God bless!
This is soooooo neat . i love it !!
Thank you❤
I loved it.. I was gonna go a bit natural too great job I’ll be using your video to help me
Yay! Thank you! This video would be even more helpful czcams.com/video/pD0tDXLXR9g/video.html
This was awesome thanks so much for sharing God bless I’ll give it a try ❤️
Very welcome, be sure to add a little hair to the braids. They will hold better 😊
@Nique Lynn Great work. Faux Locs are time consuming. BEAUTIFUL...
Thank you so much! They really are time consuming hence why I only do them once in a while lol
You did a Great job. I’m gonna try!!!
Thank you! Quick tip, use some marley hair to braid in with the natural braids. It adheres better
This is wonderful I tried making faux locs to a friend's hair but they were abit loose
Agree with everything you said. I love the look but hate the time it takes to do them. People that appreciate the art wont mind the cost cause I'm not doing them for less than $300 lol I'll do the crochet ones and individual around the perimeter to save time
You are so right! Unfortunately many people don't realize the amount of work that it takes to complete a style like this. I am glad to see you charge your worth. Sometimes we try to be so accommodating and end up cheating ourselves. But it sounds like you know what you're doing. Blessings Peace & Love to you! Thank you so much for your feedback!👍🏽😍🤗
People look at me like I was crazy when i said 300.00 and i just looked crazy back at em.
@@lashondajackson5385 your comment made me laugh way too hard 😂😂
My wants me to keep them for 3 whole months but I’m afraid of my natural hair locking.
3 months seems a little long to me to be honest, but thats just me
Thanks for the tips and you did a good job on her hair I love it
Thank you! 😊
I have the same hair color! It took me two days to do them but I do love them and I will be keeping them in until the end of August. Yes mine are unraveling. I think mine are thinner as well.
oh hunny I understand, I tried this method and it seems to have held much better czcams.com/video/GnAZjSJHeCM/video.html
I really love it thank you
Thank you so much, please check out my other videos as well!
Ok I will
Looks nice
Worth the time
That looks very nice and neat. 👊
Girrrrlll you did that!
It took me 4 hours to part and had to make it into two days when it came to wrapping, and they're all sticking together
I mastered that on my little girl hair
Ok siss!!
When using the super glue; I use two small strands with a double not the add a drop a pin size to hold. You can use boiling water after using the small knot to hold in place! Wonderful job❤🌞🤗
Thank you so much I may have to try it with the glue. Great tip! 😊
@@NiqueLynn your welcome My Sister! Your work is beautiful and sharing is always caring🤗 Shine Always🤗
I love this ... beautiful job 💞
Thank you sweetie!
Flawless! Can you do a video on how to take them out please?
Thank you so much! I certainly can if I get the opportunity to do them again
.
I did this hair style on myself once it turned out really good to be my first time but it took me 2 days to complete it. and the style lasted for a month in a half. i recommend this style but i agree with you completely you have to have TIME.
You did them on yourself girl!! It would have taken me a week probably 😂
You did great girl! I do my own as well, it takes me 5-6 hours on my own head
@@nikitaruth4946 thank you doll and that takes some real talent...Hats off to you 😊
Nique Lynn you’re welcome love! And thank you!
ONLY 2 days, it took me 2 WEEKS!!! I kept stopping, I think I got carpal tunnel lol
Excellent job!!!
I like the style. Thanks and congratulations
Thank you!😍
So pretty 😍😍
Thank you 🙏🏽
those hands are truly blessed
Thank you doll!!!
I love this video 😍😍😍😍 extremely helpful
Thank you!
This is an excellent video. I am going to try this on my own one day
Thank you so much. It's a lot work but can be done. Just use a little marley hair when braiding your braids
Oh my look so good
Thanks girl
The crochet locs take up less time ,these a cute btw💗
Thanks girl and you sure are right about that!!!
You did a great job!!
Thank you!
