Butterfly locks can be defined as “Butterfly locks have wing-like elements across the shaft of the lock, making them a distressed loc style. “They’re different from conventional faux locs since they have a wing-like distress generated by holding a portion of hair outward while the remainder of the hair is tightly wrapped around the loc shaft,” says the author.
