Everything You Need to Know About Locs
Answers to common client questions about installation, upkeep, and expectations for locs.
Installation time varies by method, density, and length. Starter sessions can take three to eight hours or more for complex styles. During consultation we estimate time, plan breaks, and recommend realistic expectations based on your hair and the desired loc size.
Most clients schedule retwists every four to eight weeks, depending on new growth and neatness goals. Gentle retwisting, proper moisturizing, and avoiding overly tight tension reduces stress. We'll recommend a personalized schedule at your appointment based on hair type and lifestyle.
Yes, you can color locs, but timing matters. Coloring before installation can change texture; coloring after maturation may be safer. We use professional dyes and recommend patch tests, strand trials, and conditioning treatments to minimize weakening and preserve loc integrity.
Properly installed and maintained locs should not inherently cause damage. Breakage usually results from excessive tension, neglect, or harsh products. We prioritize gentle techniques, moisture balance, and regular check-ins to protect hair health and reduce stress on roots and strands.
Locs typically take between twelve and twenty-four months to fully mature, varying by hair texture, size, and care routine. With proper maintenance and patience you'll see gradual tightening and smoothness. We guide clients through each stage and tailor care to speed healthy maturation.
Yes — wash your locs regularly with a residue-free shampoo every one to two weeks or as needed. Focus on thorough rinsing and complete drying to prevent mildew. Use light oils and moisturizing sprays between washes to maintain scalp and loc hydration.
