Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Dreadlock maintenance.
Most clients schedule maintenance every two to six weeks depending on new growth, loc method, and desired neatness. Retwists every two to four weeks suit tight styles; looser maintenance can stretch to six weeks. Consultations set a personalized schedule and precise pricing at $100/hour.
We offer retwisting, interlocking, palm-rolling, crochet tightening, residue-free cleansing, and targeted conditioning. Technicians assess loc size, texture, and maturity to combine methods that preserve integrity and appearance. Sessions are customized, and final time-based pricing is charged at $100 per hour.
After retwisting or interlocking, we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours to allow roots to set and products to settle. For heavier tightening, wait 48 hours. Use gentle, residue-free shampoos and dry thoroughly. Your stylist will advise based on your specific maintenance performed.
Maintenance tightens and refines roots, which can make locs appear slimmer temporarily but does not permanently alter natural thickness unless you request major re-sizing or re-twisting. Changes can usually be adjusted over time; discuss goals with your stylist to choose techniques that preserve desired volume and shape.
Session length varies with loc density, thickness, and chosen technique: simple retwists may take one to two hours, detailed interlocking or crochet tightening can run two to four hours, and restorative sessions may be longer. We charge $100 per hour; consult for an accurate time estimate.
Use residue-free clarifying shampoo, lightweight natural oils (jojoba, coconut sparingly), and a scalp soothing spray. Avoid heavy waxes or build-up products. Sleep on satin, moisturize locs lightly, and schedule maintenance regularly. Ask your stylist for product recommendations tailored to your loc type and regimen.
