While faux locs feel very modern, the practice of wrapping hair with thread or yarn is an ancient African technique. The modern faux locs, popularized by celebrities, use kanekalon or marley hair to mimic the texture of real dreadlocks more closely.

Question & Answer
Are faux locs heavy?
They can be, especially if they are very long (waist-length) or thick (jumbo). However, modern techniques and hair types like "soft locs" or "butterfly locs" are specifically designed to be much more lightweight than traditional faux locs.
