How To Make Faux Locs Less Frizzy Without Putting Mousse In Your Hair

Can you put mousse on faux locs? By now, you know that the answer is yes. Still though, you may not want to use mousse all the time, so here are some alternative methods for making faux locs less frizzy without putting mousse on them.

Faux Loc Mousse-Less Method #1 - Cantu For Bad Frizz & Tangles

If your faux locs are really, really dry and they feel tangled you can go ahead and use this Cantu Coil Calm Detangler with Shea Butter for natural hair & protective styles.

This frizz-fighting detangler product works great at detangling synthetic faux locs hair and can also be used on kid’s natural hair.  

Here’s what you do:

• Whenever your faux loc hair feels super dry & tangled, spray this all throughout your locs.
• Finger detangle immediately.
• Focus on the ends because that is where the most tangling happens.

One negative to the Cantu Coil Calm Detangler is how it comes out as a stream instead of a spray, so it can be kind of messy. The product is very good though.

Some  great things about this anti-frizz detangler is that you’ll likely loooove the way this stuff smells. Also, it doesn't leave your faux locs hair super-duper shiny. 

It’s really good that this detangler doesn't leave synthetic faux locs hair very shiny because then you would have to use less product. Thankfully, you can really use as much as you’d like because this isn’t a shine product, it’s just for detangling your protective style.

If you want a brilliant shine, no worries! You can use a good shine spray that NHP will show you later in this tutorial.

Faux Loc Mousse-Less Method #2 - Use Scissors on Frizz & Tangles

To reduce crochet faux locs frizz, you will need a pair of scissors. You simply grab a frizzy faux lock and snip off the frizzy strands. Doing one strand at a time is tedious, so you can always do a few strands at a time.

After doing this you will need to wash your locs to get rid of the little stray strands that you cut off. Add in some leave-in conditioner or hair serum and use some hair gel on each strand, then dry your faux locs.

Proper Faux Locs Maintenance Quick Tips:

Maintain your crochet faux locs and soft locs with a few easy steps. 

• At night we recommend that you use a satin bonnet to prevent tangling to your crochet locs. 
• Finger detangle your locs to prevent them from sticking together. 
• Use scissors to cut any stray hair and gel to put them back together.  

Washing your hair with crochet faux locs is simple & easy. NHP recommends some scalp therapy first, to keep your own natural hair nice and clean. 

Wet your scalp and add shampoo then scrub your scalp with the pad of your finger. Notice I said pad of your fingers, not your nails. Using your nails can cause too much friction on your scalp, leading to breakage. Proceed to add some premium shampoo on the locs, gently spread it downwards. Rinse your hair and use a super high-quality hair conditioner, gently spread it in a downwards motion as well, then rinse out.

To dry your faux locs, gently pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel. Do not add too much friction to your faux locs. Add some leave in conditioner or a hair serum, this step is optional but it will help reduce any frizz. 

Conclusion: Can You Put Mousse On Faux Locs For Frizz? Yes!

So, now you know the answer. Yes, you can put mousse on faux locs to help make them less frizzy. Don’t listen to folks who falsely say that mousse is too heavy of a product for your locs. 

They say that heavy products like hair mousse, thick oils, moisturizers are going to cause buildups on your scalp which is ultimately going to lead to dryness, frizziness and stickiness. That may be true for heavy oils but mousse can be used on faux locs just fine.

Mousse also helps your natural hair blend into faux crochet locs.

And If you’re vacationing and need to revive your locs after swimming, you can use mousse to help the loc hair return to its original state. Mousse works well for both natural dreadlocks and faux locs.
