. What is long butterfly locs?

First we meet the butterfly locs, one of the popular protective styles, second only to knotless box braids in popularity. 90s-inspired styles are similar to faux locs, but they are usually shorter and made with wavy hair to give the locs a more polished look. With regular faux locs, you use the wrap method to make the hair as neat as possible, while the butterfly locs method uses your thumbs to create loops and a somewhat messy look. And long butterfly locs require long Freetress water using crochet to extend the length of the locs

. How long do butterfly locs last?

Whether it's a long butterfly locs or a short butterfly positioning, with proper maintenance and moisturizing, it can last for about one to two months. This is when you don't wash your hair and don't impair natural hair growth. But if you're not maintaining these places properly (meaning cleaning and conditioning them regularly), then you probably shouldn't keep them for more than four weeks.

. How to do long butterfly locs?

 

Step1: Braid your hair into a knotless braid

The long butterfly locs requires dividing your own hair into several sections and braiding each section according to the steps of traditional knotless braiding.

Step2: Prepare 6 to 8 packs of Freetress water wigs

Just before you start crocheting hair with long butterfly locs, you need to have the material ready. Choose a Freetress water wig suitable for crochet, which has a lot of stretch. To achieve this style of butterfly locs protection, you will need at least about 6-8 packs of curls. The expansion pack you need depends on how complete and how long you want your butterfly locs to be.

Step 3: Crochet hair

Make a hole at the bottom of the braid, thread the crochet hook through the braided hair, and pass your wig through it. This process is a bit like hooking a sweater. The main thing is to use crochet to connect your wig to your real hair. This is true for every long butterfly locs. You have to wrap the wig around and connect it well.
