Small butterfly or soft Locs typically remain neat for 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth, tension, and maintenance. Regular nightly protection and gentle washing extend wear. We recommend a retouch every 6–8 weeks to maintain clean roots and prevent excessive matting.

Installation time varies by size, density, and whether locs are built from scratch. Expect 3–6 hours for small soft locs; adding from-scratch shoulder-length work and hair options can extend the appointment. We provide time estimates during booking based on your hair.

Yes — we can create Small butterfly or soft Locs from scratch. There is an additional $50 for shoulder-length construction for every size. You can request hair included for seamless length and color matching; a consultation helps determine the best approach.

Small butterfly or soft Locs suit most hair types but work best on healthy, medium-to-thick textures. Fragile or very fine hair needs assessment—our consultation will determine appropriate tension, size, or alternative protective styles if needed.
