1. Distressed locs
Faux locs can be easily made to look flawless, but if you are not in the mood for playing by the rules, you will definitely like experimenting with the texture of your locs. Distressed locs are created like normal faux locs and are then slightly tousled to create a more natural and edgy look.

3. High bun
Wearing your faux locs loose all the time can be tiring. Plus, sometimes you want to let your neck and back breathe instead of constantly being covered by thick locs. In that case, there is nothing better than a high bun – a hairstyle that is as practical as it is gorgeous and stylish.

8. Side-part locs
Another way to refresh your hairstyle without any long and expensive procedures is to simply change the parting of your locs. You can swipe them all the way to one side for side-swept locs, or make a more subtle upgrade with a side part.

In case you are not looking for a subtle way to rock your locs and instead want the whole world to notice your new hairstyle, your best bet is to go for an extreme length of your faux locs. On one hand, you will spend more time in your stylist’s chair, but on the other hand, you will be rewarded with the most eye-catching hairstyle.
