530 Butterfly Locs – Protective styles—like false locks—have been around for decades, but as times evolve, so do the iterations of styles we see in popularity. Box braids, for example, can be reinterpreted in endless ways, from knotless to boho to crochet and beyond.
One style at the peak of creativity and popularity is butterfly braids, which have been all over our Instagram feeds lately. The look is where the traditional counter meets a distressed texture that makes the style look more vibrant. According to Princess Kanu, a self-taught hairstylist, this style has been in high demand among her clients in Maryland because of its effortless nature and effortless look.

“Bowties are unique because they put a lot less stress on your natural hair,” explains Kanu. Like most protective styles, butterfly braids start by braiding your natural hair into individual braids as a foundation. Next, Kanu Freetress crochets Waterwave hair through the braid. Once the hair is attached to your braid, the curly braided hair is then wrapped using a careful thumb technique that leaves holes all over to create a “distressed look”. (You can zoom in on the method here.)
