Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best method for starting locs?+

The best method depends on your hair type, texture, and desired size. We'll consult with you to determine the best approach.

How long does it take for locs to fully lock?+

Locs typically take 6–18 months to fully mature, depending on your hair texture, care routine, and the starting method used.

What size should my locs be?+

Loc size is a personal preference. Thin locs require more of them, while thicker locs require fewer. We'll help you decide based on your hair density.

How often should I come back for maintenance?+

We recommend returning every 4–6 weeks for retwisting during the early stages of your loc journey.

Can I wash my starter locs?+

Yes, but be careful during the early stages. We recommend waiting 2–3 weeks before the first wash and using a residue-free shampoo.
