Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Starter Locs.

Starter locs are the initial phase of dreadlocks, created by sectioning and twisting or coiling your hair to encourage locking.

The duration can vary depending on hair length and texture, but typically, the process lasts between 2 to 4 hours.

It's recommended to avoid washing for the first 4 weeks to allow the starter locs to settle and lock properly.

When done correctly by professionals, starter locs do not damage hair but rather promote healthy growth and manageable locks.

Regular retwisting every 4-6 weeks and moisturizing the scalp and locs will keep them looking healthy and beautiful.

Use light, natural oils and loc-specific products to nourish and maintain your starter locs without weighing them down.
