Faux Locs Wigs

A faux locs wig gives you the soft, textured look of goddess or butterfly locs without a long install. The locs are crocheted or braided onto a lace cap, so you get the full style in minutes and can take it off at night.

Faux locs styles

  • Goddess locs: smooth locs with curly ends, often mixed with passion twists for a boho finish.
  • Butterfly locs: distressed locs with small loops along the length, light and full of texture.
  • Knotless faux locs: locs that start flat at the root for a cleaner parting.
  • Bob faux locs: 12 to 14 inch styles that are light and quick to wear.

Colours include natural black, ombre brown, 613 blonde, 99J burgundy, copper red and orange.

Lace front or full lace?

A lace front faux locs wig has lace at the hairline and often pre-plucked baby hair, so the front looks natural. A full lace cap has lace all over, so you can part the locs anywhere and wear a high bun or ponytail.

Faux locs wig vs installed faux locs

Installed faux locs take four to eight hours and stay in for weeks. A wig gives you the same look with no tension on your edges, and you can switch between locs, braids and your own hair whenever you like.

Care

  • Store it on a wig stand so the locs keep their shape.
  • Wash rarely, in cool water with a mild shampoo, and air dry fully.
  • Refresh curly ends with a little water and mousse.
  • Keep heat low and only use it where the listing says the fibre is heat resistant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between faux locs and dreadlocks?

Faux locs are a softer, styled version of locs with wrapped or crocheted fibre and curly or looped ends. Dreadlock wigs lean towards the matte, textured look of natural locs. See our dreadlock wigs for that style.

Can I wear a faux locs wig glueless?

Most caps here have adjustable straps and combs, so you can wear them without glue. Check each product page for cap details.
