Goddess Locs
Temporary / Faux Loc Family
Illustration -- About our illustrations
Goddess locs are faux locs with curly or wavy hair left loose along the length or at the ends, mixing a neat loc with soft curls. They are usually built on a braided or twisted base, either wrapped individually or attached as pre-made locs.
Distinguishing characteristics
The defining feature is the loose curly hair, not distressed loops: curls peek out along each loc, finish the ends, or both. That sets them apart from butterfly locs (looped texture) and plain faux locs (smooth to the tip).
Advantages
A soft, romantic version of faux locs that frames the face.
Considerations
The loose curls tangle and need regular attention.
Warning signs
Tight roots, soreness, bumps or thinning edges mean the base is too tight.
Preparation
Choose the curl pattern you can maintain; human-hair curls are softer but need more care than synthetic. Start with clean, stretched hair.
Daily Care
Mist the curls with water and a light leave-in to keep them defined; keep oil off the curls to avoid matting.
Night Care
Pineapple the locs loosely in a satin bonnet so the curls do not tangle.
Washing
Wash the scalp with diluted shampoo and rinse the curls downward; detangle curls gently with fingers once conditioned.
Scalp Care
Keep product light at the roots and watch the hairline for tension.
Refreshing
Trim tangled curls and refresh them with water and conditioner.
Removal
Cut or unwrap the locs carefully, separating the curly pieces from your own hair.
Styling tips
Curly ends, waist-length versions and blonde or honey tones are popular; wear them down to show the curls.

Culture & history
Goddess Locs as a Curl-Blended Faux-Loc Variant
Goddess locs use the same wrapped-extension base as Faux Locs, blended throughout its length with loose curl or wave texture rather than concentrating the texture only at the ends -- a distinct enough finished look and strong enough independent search identity that this catalog treats it as its own style, while noting explicitly that its construction is a variant of the shared temporary-loc wrap technique, not a separate installation method.
