Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Interlock Maintenance (250 Locs).

Frequency varies by growth rate and hair type, but most clients return every 4–8 weeks. We assess tension and scalp health, then recommend a schedule to maintain strength and reduce breakage.

When performed by an experienced stylist using proper tension, interlocking strengthens locs rather than damages them. Over-tightening can cause stress, so we prioritize gentle technique and assess each loc individually.

Timing depends on loc thickness and condition but typically takes 3–6 hours for 250 locs. We offer time estimates during booking and aim for efficient, careful work to protect your hair.

Yes. We use targeted interlocking to tighten new growth while preserving your established loc diameter and pattern, ensuring a seamless, consistent appearance across all locs.

We prefer clean hair but ask that it's dry and free of heavy oils or products. If washing beforehand isn't possible, let us know and we can accommodate light cleansing at the appointment.

Use lightweight moisturizers, residue-free cleansers, and natural oils sparingly. Avoid heavy waxes and lint-prone products. We’ll recommend specific brands suited to your hair and lifestyle during your visit.
