[quote=lovehaiku84;1444543]Braidlocs are locs started with small braids (parts average maybe 1/4 to 1/2 in). The end result are locs that look similar to the ones I saw in Ideal08's online photo album, but they can be a lot smaller or a bit larger.
Both Sisterlocks and Braidlocs are done without using extensions. One reason that many women are drawn to these two forms of locking are because of the ability to have very small locs therefore making them more versatile. Additionally, both of these kinds of locs can be started with a small amount of natural hair (Sisterlocks need only about 1 1/2 in) and relaxed ends, so they appeal to those who don't want to do the BC or take a long time growing out their natural hair. Initially this appealed to me as well, however my relaxed hair was far too damaged to try and hold onto for the sake of having some extra length. I am currently wearing braids as I grow out my natural hair. My goal is to rock a nice afro puff for a little while before I start locking.
Anyways, HTH

What is it called when the hair is loced but its fake locs? For example, when the hair looks like a loc but real hair is on the inside of the loc which may be braided or something. Sorry if I am not explaining this well..I saw this in a magazine and I thought about doing this just to see what I would look like with locs but its hard to describe for anyone to know what I'm talking about.
