Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Interlock (Under 75 Locs).

Most appointments take between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on thickness, loc size, and root growth. We assess hair before starting and provide an estimated time during booking. Extra time may be needed for styling or heavy buildup removal.

When performed by trained technicians using a looping crochet method, interlocks minimize tension and manipulation. Proper technique protects the root and shaft. Over-tightening or infrequent maintenance can cause stress, so we follow gentle protocols to reduce risk.

Generally every 4–8 weeks is recommended, depending on hair growth rate, scalp health, and desired tightness. Faster growers may need more frequent sessions. We evaluate your hair during each visit and recommend a personalized maintenance schedule.

Please arrive with clean, dry hair for the best results; if washing at home, do so at least 24 hours before your appointment. After service, wait 24–48 hours before washing to allow roots to settle and the style to set.

Standard interlock maintenance for under 75 locs focuses on tightening your natural locs without added extensions. If you want length or volume, we can incorporate extensions by request with a consultation for pricing and compatibility.

Keep your scalp moisturized with light oils, avoid heavy products that cause buildup, and sleep on satin to reduce friction. Limit tight styles, use gentle cleansing, and return for scheduled maintenance to preserve loc health and appearance.
