If you’re toying with the idea of trying a new protective style, consider butterfly locs. Unlike faux locs, butterfly locs have curly loops that give them a playful, distressed look. “What makes butterfly locs a great protective style is how lightweight they are,” says Lulu Pierre, founder and CEO of Boho Locs. “They won’t pull on your edges, causing damage or discomfort. They’re a perfect option for anyone looking for a protective style that is as comfortable as it is stylish.” If butterfly locs sound like they could be your next style, keep reading for Pierre’s tips on how to install and care for the protective hairstyle.
