FAUX LOC Tips 1. Crotchet the hair threw/under the base. This way it won't slip out 2. You should now have two strands of added hair; 1 strand on each side of your natural braid. 3.Hold one section of the added hair along your plait. Then, take the other half and wrap 2-3times at the base and proceed downwards. °Make sure you place it 3/4 each wrap to avoid gaps but if you want it to be messy that's fine. 4.With what is left of the hair against the plait and the section you used to wrap down to form the loc °Hold that hair together and wrap upwards until you are out of hair. You don't have to wrap up in any particular manner. 5. You should now have a secure loc AND you don't have to worry about unraveling at the base or ends [OPTIONAL 6.] Dip Hair in hot water. Side note: If you use pre-formed Locs just pull the loop through and pull your plait through the loop and proceed the same way. I hope this information is helpful. This is what aided me when I did Faux locs the first time earlier this year. Also, maybe the brassy under tones of this sandy Blonde/brown esk shade is what is unnerving about the color and style?? In addition larger sections, make a difference in perception as its like WHAM. I think you'd like Smedium (Small medium) locs better. Not as time consuming, and you get a fuller look. #window and doors parted sections
I used to do this except #1. When I used to do faux locs I never needed to crochet it through the base, BUT in order to do this you need to wrap it tightly around the rest of the twist. They never fell out, because the tension causes them to wrap tighter if you pull from the ends. To take them out all I needed is to hold my twist and pull the loc from the base. They took a long time to put in but the take down was so easy!!

Y’all are NOT LYING! I LITERALLY CACKLED AND SCREAMED THIS WHOLE VIDEO 😂😂 I have natural locs and see the struggle faux locs have on people when trying to remove them. Great video!
You are so funny! I love this video. The Locs looked cool but I think they’d give life if they were in a 1b instead of blonde. Cut the size of the twist by 3x fir a fuller look abs do it in 1b and slay.
🥹this method of adding faux locs reminds me of why I never did these type of locs 😂. I tried this once and was disappointed and took the style down the next day😂😫 I love doing the individual crochet locs but I’m not wrapping no braiding hair around my braids 😂I ain’t got time for it. Edit- okay wait because when you put it A little pony I was living for it a little 👌🏾🥹❤️
Not me watching this AGAIN this morning.... and laughing at you BOTH TIMES!! It's not bad Will... we can see the vision but that colour wasn't it... 😆😊
Oh my goodness!! The laughter that I needed this morning! Thank you! I know we have all been there with braids styles that didn’t turn out how we wanted them to and we tried to just make it work. This is one of those moments. Thanks for your candor and openness about this experience. How long did you keep them in?
I think you need a different shade of blonde and smaller sections. I've done faux locs multiple times and that has helped me. Yes it takes more time but the results are better. Also you may want to consider taking a small piece of extension and braiding into your hair before you wrap.
This retrograde has us Aquarians tapping in HEAVILY to our creative nature.. with a mix of slightly mild chaos 😂 I’m here for it. Keep living it up and be open to the changes Will!!!!! It’s all about how you feel and want to look honestly! 🙌🏽 I truly doesn’t look bad. You can make them smaller until you get used to the look. Versatile!!!
There’s hella untapped potential for our sunflower tresses honey. Do you! I think it’s the parting that threw you off initially. Cut those in half and then you can definitely wear the locs down, IMO.
These edits had me on the floor!!! 😂😂😂😂 But I agree that color is giving shit logs… however I think you did a great job! Just not a fan of the color. But you’re the bomb for being able to do it that good on the first try. Love you Will!!
You know I am in LOVE with your twists! You could have stopped there honey LOL. This is how I be styling mine but those locs look good too. You indeed "Got what needed to be got!" LOL
Will you had crackin the F up!!...you have no idea how much i needed this laughter...but maybe add more sections or tie it back like you did...but hey E for effort! Btw..Love your vids !! Ps...fr fr take that shyt down lol
I think I laughed so hard at this video I mighta pee’d a little!! That laugh with Goofy’s voice sent me chile! And the modeling of the plaits with the one big one in the back!! Girllll!!! that took me clean out!!! 😂😂😂😂
I actually think this would be a really good hairstlye if you blended this with your natural hair color along with it. But I always give my hair 2-3 days to see its real Final look. LOVE THE VIDEOS, KEEP IT UP WILL!! :))
That 'I do not look good' took me out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣am sorry Will🤣🤣 honey as a victim of faux locs...i know the pain..had mine installed at 5pm and took them out at 8pm when i got home...faux locs are not for me at all🤣
I think it could definitely be a look! Maybe a bit smaller sections so you can wear it down without the tail thingy in the back. I did like the skunk stripe idea that could be cool. Truly just a basic opinion I’m not a hairstylist or pro🤷🏽♀️ but I also use the crochet formed locs that was also at the store they are easier to use and maintain imo
It’s the Nicki Clip for me!!! 🤣🤣 It doesn’t look terrible, I think if you did smaller twists it would’ve looked better, but wearing it in a high or low pony kinda gives Wick vibes and I like it! 😊❤️
@@missnataliamarie yea i dnt recommend i got a lot of hair so no biggie but i def wont be wearing that style again if i want to keep the hair on my head
When you said what y’all think be a honest 😭😭😭 and then inserted the clip of us I lost it 😂 because that was my exact reaction hand over mouth and all, I like that you tried to do something new tho and if you like it I love it 🥰
Will, this video was chaotic🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️ but my tip is to next time, crochet the hair through the root so they won’t come out as easily since you’re not attaching your hair to a faux loc
We have *all* been here; I gave up on trying to wrap locs and just went with crochet faux locks instead, and they’re amazing. If you reduce the size of the twist/loc, you would have That Look! And you would slayyyyy with a lighter, less yellow shade like 24.
I’m glad I ain’t the only one who thinks locs are a nightmare to take out!! I did them on my cousin and she’s like how do I take them out?! I’m like gurllll nobody shows how to do the takedown - just the install! ✌️
Not gunna lie but the red bandanna was giving me “hide yo kids, hide to wives” vibes 😅
NOOOOO 😂
DEAD
you wrong for dis LMAO
What does this mean? 👀 /gen
Hmmmm ….. what chu mean…
When I tell you this made me LAUGH OUT LOUD. Your edits are top tier!!! LMAOOOO

Thank you soooooo much!!!!
I’m for real going to retry faux locs with your instructions. I skipped the crotchet and wrapping upwards is genius
I laughed EXACTLY like the clip you added when you said 'y'all be honest'.🤣😅
Will I want to apologize for how much I laughed and how many tears I cried 🤣🤣😭😭
You are an editing genius 😂 I like the locs pulled back. They look a little to sparse when they’re down
Lol at “a little sparse” 😂😂😂 this videos brought me joy for sure 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love watching you convince yourself they're cute lol
Will is the only youtuber I will suffer through that 3 min "get paid by audible" ad for and it's always worth it
The "do you wanna fight" and the goofy laugh took me out 🤣
“i got this little brush because…idk” will has officially become part of the beauty supply community, where you go in for 1 thing & leave with 5 things you literally don’t need/think you can use eventually but never do😭
Lmao frennn its cute pulled back but once you said it look like dookie I passed away 💀
Y’all are NOT LYING! I LITERALLY CACKLED AND SCREAMED THIS WHOLE VIDEO 😂😂 I have natural locs and see the struggle faux locs have on people when trying to remove them. Great video!
You saying Dookie over and over had me dead 😂😂😂😂
When you added that Goofy laugh in, I almost fell off the elliptical here at the gym. I wasn’t ready. Played it back 3 times 😂
You are so funny! I love this video. The Locs looked cool but I think they’d give life if they were in a 1b instead of blonde. Cut the size of the twist by 3x fir a fuller look abs do it in 1b and slay.
Agreed!
I came here to say the same thing!!!
I needed this video. Seeing influencers make mistakes is refreshing
The definition of jumping without looking 😭😭😂😂 but I've tried to do locs twice now and it was a hot mess both times, it's harder than it look lol
“We’re gonna….you already see it on my head” 😂😂😂 the opening line lol
If you did smaller sections, I think that would look so cute on you! I like it when you had it up too. You had me ROLLIN with this one ilysfm 😂
Omg Will I was laughing so hard that I was literally crying 😢. I enjoyed this video so much. ❤️
🥹this method of adding faux locs reminds me of why I never did these type of locs 😂. I tried this once and was disappointed and took the style down the next day😂😫
I love doing the individual crochet locs but I’m not wrapping no braiding hair around my braids 😂I ain’t got time for it.
Edit- okay wait because when you put it A little pony I was living for it a little 👌🏾🥹❤️
I cracked up watching this video. I was talking to you through the tv "Will they are too big, lmao". About to watch it again. I needed this laugh 😂😂🤣
I’m literally crying 💀🤣 this whole video had me on the floor 😂
I'm dying..I needed that comedy..at this point its giving, I'm bored as hell let's play with our hair💜
This had me dying😅 it’s cute when u style
It up. I’m here for trying the new things with ya hair chile❤
“You already see it on my head” 😂😂
The way I’m hollering 😂😂 “this look like dookie” ☠️
The way I was laughing in the break room just now.. I literally had to pack up and go child lol 😂
Wait. WAIT. Watching Nicki laugh at you 🤣 sent me all the way left 😆
That Maya Angelou edit had me gasping. I laughed SO hard😂😂😂
Chile when he turned around talkin bout "is it giving chloe bailey" i LOST IT
I CANNOT 😭😭😭 the back literally took me out 😭😭😭
The singing in the back when he was washing his hair in the shower😂😂😂😂😂
Oh Will!! You brought me joy if nothing else and that's why I'm here.
I ain’t gonna lie.. the whole time I was like, BFFR! 😂😂
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while, QUALITY CONTENT 🤣🤣🤣
Not me watching this AGAIN this morning.... and laughing at you BOTH TIMES!! It's not bad Will... we can see the vision but that colour wasn't it... 😆😊
When I tell you I had tears rolling down my face this whole video 😂
Do more parts!!! Seeing less of the parts help with the locs not look like wicks
Oh my goodness!! The laughter that I needed this morning! Thank you! I know we have all been there with braids styles that didn’t turn out how we wanted them to and we tried to just make it work. This is one of those moments. Thanks for your candor and openness about this experience. How long did you keep them in?
When you had an existential crisis: "what's the goal here?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can not with you guys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Not you flamin your own self I'm over here on the floor.
I think you need a different shade of blonde and smaller sections. I've done faux locs multiple times and that has helped me. Yes it takes more time but the results are better. Also you may want to consider taking a small piece of extension and braiding into your hair before you wrap.
I think I like it pulled back better. Maybe if there were more of them and if the tone of blonde was slightly different it would work down?
I"m def gonna try this again, maybe smaller next time
That wild thornberries clip sent me 🤣
It’s him hyping himself up to convince hisself 😂😂😂😂
When you said "this look like dookie" I lost my ish completely!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm cackling.
You get better with faux locs each time you do it. I personally use Bobbi Boss nu locs or Bomba soul
Tryna muffle my laughter in this cubicle 😂

@@TiffaniShontelle yessss the parting was way too big. but for a quick install it could look rl cute!!
Def smaller parts n then you got it Will!
It is giving chloe lol and I like it in a ponytail. I also like it when you did it with just the one in front as a highlight, that was cute.
These edits had me on the floor!!! 😂😂😂😂 But I agree that color is giving shit logs… however I think you did a great job! Just not a fan of the color. But you’re the bomb for being able to do it that good on the first try. Love you Will!!
That literal Goofy laugh had me ROLLING SCREAMING 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I Needed a good laugh after studying biochem thank you Will 💕
You know I am in LOVE with your twists! You could have stopped there honey LOL. This is how I be styling mine but those locs look good too.
You indeed "Got what needed to be got!" LOL
Will you had crackin the F up!!...you have no idea how much i needed this laughter...but maybe add more sections or tie it back like you did...but hey E for effort! Btw..Love your vids !!
Ps...fr fr take that shyt down lol
BIG E FOR EFFORT ENERGY

that one big ass loc in the back is killing meeee
the Donnie soundbite at 8:50 took me OUT LMFAO and omg the Nicki clip at the end lmfaooooo you're an editing genius Will
I woke up crying and here you go giving me something to enjoy in life again. Thank you Will!
I think I laughed so hard at this video I mighta pee’d a little!! That laugh with Goofy’s voice sent me chile! And the modeling of the plaits with the one big one in the back!! Girllll!!! that took me clean out!!! 😂😂😂😂
The glee recap reference has me crying real tears 😂😂😂😂 come on dooby doup bod doos 😂😂
try 1B hair it’s gonna look great. also smaller parts
I actually think this would be a really good hairstlye if you blended this with your natural hair color along with it. But I always give my hair 2-3 days to see its real Final look. LOVE THE VIDEOS, KEEP IT UP WILL!! :))
Thank you so much for this video. Not because it looked good but because I needed this laugh 😂
Right ✅ 😁😂
That 'I do not look good' took me out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣am sorry Will🤣🤣 honey as a victim of faux locs...i know the pain..had mine installed at 5pm and took them out at 8pm when i got home...faux locs are not for me at all🤣
He said "d e w k i e e e 😩"
finding this comment after seeing it in the video of the second attempt feels great
Not the Donnie Thornberry voiceover 😂😂 took me off this planettttt child
I think it could definitely be a look! Maybe a bit smaller sections so you can wear it down without the tail thingy in the back. I did like the skunk stripe idea that could be cool.
Truly just a basic opinion I’m not a hairstylist or pro🤷🏽♀️ but I also use the crochet formed locs that was also at the store they are easier to use and maintain imo

It doesn’t look terrible, I think if you did smaller twists it would’ve looked better, but wearing it in a high or low pony kinda gives Wick vibes and I like it! 😊❤️
Heyyyy Will! I’ve been hearing nothing but regrets about faux locs recently 😂
I wire faux pics for a month hoping to help my hair out found a thinning spot never again
@@akatsukiluvratily6338 a thinning spot? 😳 was thinking about it but maybe not..
@@missnataliamarie yea i dnt recommend i got a lot of hair so no biggie but i def wont be wearing that style again if i want to keep the hair on my head
@@akatsukiluvratily6338 what are y’all doing to your heads? I had faux locs in for almost 2 months no problems whatsoever
Imma be real with y'all, the whole intro I was staring at his eyebrows. Them junks are CLEANNNNNNNNNN
Not me thinking it look like poop and you just said it look like dookie I’m HOLLERINGGG!!!! 😂😂😂😂 I love you
The glee background vocals are much appreciated
Huuuuuunnn.. This works 👏🏾👏🏾I like the colour and the size, but I think the sections could be a lil smaller. Other than that, really cute sis 💁🏾♀️😌
Agreed
10:05 the fact that i laughed EXACTLY like this is sending me deep!💀💀
I laughed throughout this ENTIRE video 😂😂😂😂
You had me at Dookie Braids. 😆
I dieeeeed watching this. You tried friend. It's giving, but I think 1b wouldve slayyy'd!!
When you said what y’all think be a honest 😭😭😭 and then inserted the clip of us I lost it 😂 because that was my exact reaction hand over mouth and all, I like that you tried to do something new tho and if you like it I love it 🥰
The way he went from it look like dookie to I think I’m into it, did it for me 😂
Will, this video was chaotic🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️ but my tip is to next time, crochet the hair through the root so they won’t come out as easily since you’re not attaching your hair to a faux loc
You had me screaming. 😂😂😂
Laenor Velaryon trying to convince us and himself that the wig looked good
It was the edits getting me. This was hilarious lmaoo

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 when faux locs go wrong. Hey Will
