The last time I did individual crochet locs, I said I wouldn’t do them again because it’s such a tedious process of pulling your hair through the crochet to hide your braids. As much I love the look of locs, I knew I wouldn’t put them back in my hair unless someone did them for me or I found a new technique. Well, the new technique is called soft locs. This is where you use crochet locs with wrapping hair to achieve the style. And because I’m in the process of growing waist-length hair, I’m all about protective styles at the moment. Let’s get into this soft loc tutorial.

TIPS
Soft locs take time, so don’t be like me, and make sure you give yourself enough time to get it done. When wrapping the hair around the crochet locs, it may take you a minute to get your hand placements correct to get the hang of it.
PRODUCTS
A lot of these products I already had at home. The only things that I bought were the hair:
- I use SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Twist-Defining Custard, but it’s discontinued. Here’s another twisting product I like.
- Crochet needle
- Shine N Jam Red Container
- Shine N Jam Yellow Container
- Goldntree Crochet Locs 18″
- Wrapping hair – this can be the same hair you use for passion twists
TUTORIAL
I also recorded a mini-review on the crochet locs that I used and filmed how I removed my soft locs.
