Locs: Installation, Maintenance & Repair FAQs
Answers to common questions about starting, maintaining and repairing locs.
Most clients benefit from retwists every 4–8 weeks depending on new growth, hair texture, and style. Tighter styles or thin locs may need more frequent maintenance; looser or mature locs can wait longer. Your stylist will recommend an ideal schedule.
Crochet maintenance uses a small hook to tighten and remove loose hair at the roots, ideal for neat, lightweight looks. Interlocking loops the base through the loc for stronger, durable tightening—best for thick hair. Both preserve locs; stylist recommendation depends on hair and goals.
Yes — we repair damaged or broken locs using methods like re-attachment to existing locs, reconstruction, extension blending, or targeted palm-rolling and interlocking. We'll evaluate each loc, recommend repair count and timeframe, and use matching hair for seamless, durable results.
During a loc shampoo service we gently cleanse the scalp and locs with residue-free products, rinse thoroughly, and condition where needed. Drying and light maintenance follow; full retwists are additional. Expect refreshed scalp, reduced buildup, and advice for at-home care.
Instant and same-day locs offer quick results but aren't ideal for all hair types. They're best for clients with sufficient hair length and healthy strands. We evaluate texture, scalp health, and desired look during a consultation to ensure longevity and prevent undue tension or damage.
We match texture and thickness, then attach extensions using secure, low-tension methods like interlocking, crochet, or wrapping. Attachments are blended and styled for a natural look. Expect a consultation to choose length, color, and attachment type, plus aftercare instructions to maintain integrity.
