The Cherish Butterfly Locs 12" is a popular option for creating a trendy, bohemian-inspired hairstyle. Butterfly locs are a type of faux locs that feature a slightly distressed, textured appearance, resembling the natural, organic look of locs while offering a softer and more relaxed feel. Here’s a breakdown of what makes this product unique and how you can use it:

Key Features of Cherish Butterfly Locs 12":

• Length:

  • At 12 inches, these locs are on the shorter side, making them perfect for a more compact and manageable look. They offer a cute, mid-length vibe that is stylish but easy to maintain compared to longer faux locs.

• Butterfly Locs Style:

  • Butterfly locs are characterized by a distressed, textured appearance with loops and soft, frayed ends that create a natural, "messy" look. This style mimics the look of real locs but with a soft, free-flowing vibe.
  • The butterfly effect comes from the loose loops or "wings" that form as you twist or wrap the locs around the natural hair, giving the locs more dimension and texture than standard faux locs.

• Synthetic Hair:

  • The locs are made of synthetic fibers designed to resemble natural hair. These fibers are lightweight, which helps keep the style from feeling too heavy or bulky. The material is also durable, making it suitable for long-lasting wear.
  • The synthetic nature makes them more affordable compared to real human hair, and they are also easy to install and manage.

• Pre-Looped (Pre-Looped Crochet Braids):

  • These locs come pre-looped, which is a huge time-saver. The crochet method can be used for installation, where you crochet the pre-looped locs into your cornrowed natural hair using a crochet hook. This method is faster than traditional wrapping and gives a clean, neat look with minimal effort.
  • Because of the pre-looped design, they can be installed much more quickly compared to individually wrapping hair around natural braids.

• Natural Look:

  • The texture of the Cherish Butterfly Locs creates a very natural and organic look, making it a great option for people who want the appearance of real locs or just a stylish, boho vibe without the permanence of real locs.

• Comfortable Fit:

  • Because these locs are relatively short and lightweight, they tend to feel more comfortable than longer faux locs, especially if you're new to wearing locs or want a style that’s easy to manage.

How to Install Butterfly Locs 12":

1. Prepare Your Natural Hair:

   • Start by cornrowing your natural hair or creating another braid pattern that will allow the crochet locs to be installed easily.

2. Install Using the Crochet Method:

   • Use a crochet hook to loop the pre-looped Cherish Butterfly Locs onto your natural braids. Once the hook grabs the loop of the loc, pull it through the braid and secure it in place.

3. Adjust the Locs:

   • You can adjust the locs slightly for a more voluminous or loose look. If you want a more distressed style, pull gently on the locs to loosen some strands, enhancing the butterfly effect.

4. Maintain:

   • Synthetic hair may tangle, so be sure to gently separate and moisturize the locs to keep them looking fresh. Regularly keep your scalp clean and nourished, especially when wearing protective styles like this.
