Faux locs are a great way to keep hair protected. With faux locs you can dress them up and rock them however you choose. Even as the style gets older they still look amazing. Before you style your hair it is imperative that it is well moisturized. Our Miracle RepaiRx Protective Leave In Conditioner does just that, keeps hair moisturized while preventing split ends and reducing breakage.
Box braids
