We recommend retwisting every 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and personal style. More frequent maintenance keeps neat roots, while longer intervals suit looser styles. We’ll assess your hair and suggest a schedule to preserve loc integrity and scalp health.

Yes. Length affects time and price: we add +10 for midback length and +20 for waist-length or longer. Final cost depends on density, thickness, and maintenance needs; we provide estimates during booking or consultation.

Newly formed locs can be retwisted gently after they’ve begun to lock, typically 4–8 weeks. Very immature locs require delicate handling to avoid unraveling; we’ll evaluate and use soft techniques to encourage healthy maturation.

Appointments typically take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on loc size, density, and length. Very long or thick hair may require extra time; length surcharges reflect the additional time and product used during your full-head retwist.

We use residue-free locking products, light natural oils, and antiseptic scalp cleaners to maintain cleanliness without buildup. Heavy waxes are avoided; we recommend salon-approved home products and routine cleansing to preserve lock integrity.

You can gently wash after 48 hours to allow the retwist to set. Use gentle, residue-free shampoos and avoid aggressive rubbing or twisting. Follow homecare instructions and tie hair loosely for nighttime to maintain the retwist.
