30 Amazing Invisible Locs Styles to Replicate in 2025
We are happy to introduce you to a new protective style — invisible locs. Read on to find out what are invisible locs and how you can style them.
What are invisible locs? It’s a kind of crossover between Senegalese twists and faux locs, made with the help of hair extensions. The most common installation scheme includes twirling two strands of natural hair into flat twists and then joining them while adding a piece of Cuban Twist or Marley hair extensions. As a result, you get textured and twisted ropes of hair of any desired length with a forked detail at the roots.
How long do invisible locs last? They are sure to stay free of frizz for three weeks but can last up to six weeks with good aftercare. Although it’s not a record-breaking duration, the style is widely praised for delivering a fresh retwist look without much commitment, so it is definitely worth exploring.
