Goddess Locs

Table of Contents

Looking for that heavenly look? Need a style that screams elegance and beauty. Goddess Locs are a loc style that is said to bring higher levels of outward beauty to anyone who considers wearing them.

WHAT ARE THEY?

Goddess locs are a byproduct of Faux Locs that offers a higher fashion, more elegant loc hairstyle; this due to their shinier, silkier loc appearance as well as their delicately flowing curly ends.

This specific hair faux loc extension was created on April 7, 2015, by Dr. Kari Williams. Whom, we might add, invented it specifically for celebrity actress, Meagan Good. Originally, Goddess Locs were designed completely using only human hair, not synthetic.

The traditional goddess loc style would not be complete without just a hint of loc jewelry. This simple touch using white yarn, gold hair cuffs, or both, really brings the entire hairstyle together. Captivating and illuminating the true essences of a royal island queen.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GODDESS LOCS AND FAUX LOCS?

Goddess and Faux locs can be commitment-free dreads. Goddess locs typically don’t seal the ends of the locs and have that curly hair end that gives it the signature goddess look.Faux locs typically are sealed at the ends of the locs with hair glue or heat treatment like flash burning. That holds the stylings together and helps them last longer. 

CROCHET GODDESS LOCS VS TRADITIONAL

The difference between Crochet Goddess Locs and standard Goddess Locs really boils down to one main fact…

The amount of time it takes to install them!

Crochet Goddess Locs can be installed in 2-3 hours while the standard, more traditional style, can take anywhere from 6-8 hrs.

TYPES OF HAIR

Common types are rope, hair, or thread. Originally, goddess locs were made with only human hair,  nowadays, with the expansion of the hair extension industry, it is much more common to buy goddess locs pre-packaged with synthetic hair.

Hairs from these listed faux loc brands are typically okay for use in goddess locs:

  • FREETRESS
  • FEMI
  • RASTA FARI
  • BOBBI BOSS

THE TRADITIONAL INSTALL METHOD

Unlike box braids and passion twist, begin by sectioning the hair into close even sections (cornrows). We recommend having a minimum of 3 inches of hair to start off with.

Next, attach the loose wavy ends/curly ends of the goddess locs to your naturally curly hair in twists or crochet. This involves braiding your natural hair and then wrapping goddess extensions around the natural hair and using a crochet method to lock up the braids. Many twist up the braiding hair with Marley hair or Cuban hair with a rougher texture.
