Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dreadlock Retwist (Top of the head, neck length and shorter).

Most clients schedule retwists every four to six weeks for top/head and neck-length dreads. Frequency depends on growth rate, texture, and desired neatness. We recommend a personalized schedule during consultation to balance maintenance with healthy hair retention.

When performed with proper tension and techniques, retwists should not cause damage. Our stylists use gentle, professional methods tailored to hair strength. Avoid over-tightening and maintain hydration; we'll monitor and adjust to protect roots and prevent breakage.

We use lightweight, residue-free formulations and natural oils designed for dreadlocks. Product choices vary by hair porosity and scalp needs—often including conditioning sprays, gentle locking gels, and moisturizing oils to preserve cleanliness without buildup.

A typical retwist session for top/head and neck-length dreadlocks takes about 45 to 90 minutes depending on density, thickness, and required maintenance. If additional services or longer lengths are included, please allow extra time when booking.

Yes. Pricing increases for longer hair: add $10 for midback length and $20 for waist length and longer. We assess length and time during booking and confirm the final price before service to account for extra time and products.

Wait 24 to 48 hours before washing to let new roots settle. Use a gentle, residue-free shampoo and dilute if needed. Pat dry and avoid heavy manipulation for a few days; follow recommended products to maintain retwist longevity.
