Simply put, invisible locs = faux locs + twists. Combining two timeless braiding techniques, it’s a temporary protective style that keeps your natural hair thriving and vibing.
In case you’re wondering where the style gets its name from, it’s all in the braiding technique – first, your natural roots are flat-twisted, and faux locs are added (although there are a few techniques you can use). This makes it tricky to figure out where your faux locs begin – especially if they’re the same color as your roots – making them seem invisible.
@atsweithehairdresser I love this style on my black women #fyp #atsweithehairdresser #viral #foryou #braids #hairday #blackwomen #invisiblelocs ♬ Her Way (Sped Up) – PARTYNEXTDOOR
Flat twists and faux locs – especially goddess and butterfly locs – were HUGE last year. Naturally, TikTok decided to keep the momentum going but added a fresh twist (see what we did there) to the trend. Enter: invisible locs. Unlike traditional locs, which can take a year to cultivate and develop, invisible locs are much easier to achieve, style, and maintain (they can be installed in around six hours).
@oderaani Invisible locs has to be my new favorite style to do. Aaaaand the parts look cool asf. #derastyles #braider #fyp #atlbraider #athensbraider #fauxlocs #invisiblelocstutorial #invisiblelocs ♬ YT usemysoundss3 – WEEKLY SOUNDS 🎼
Invisible locs, as well as being easier to install, are also easier to remove than other styles (especially with a friend around). Plus, they don’t strain your roots as much as other braiding techniques. The look will last somewhere between four to six weeks (depending on your hair type and your maintenance routine).

Invisible locs also look gorgeous in various colors, lengths, and braid sizes. Wanna go bob-short and blue? Perhaps, hip-long and pink? It’s all on you, boo!
