Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Loc Maintenance (Under 55 Locs).

Sessions generally last 60–90 minutes depending on loc thickness, density, and needed attention. We include consultation, deep cleansing, oil nourishment, and maintenance. Additional issues like heavy buildup or localized repairs may extend time; we’ll advise before starting.

We use salon-grade clarifying cleansers, balancing conditioners, and nutrient-rich oils chosen for loc health. Products remove buildup safely while restoring moisture and pH balance. We accommodate sensitivities and can use fragrance-free or natural options on request.

For most clients, scheduling maintenance every 4–8 weeks keeps locs neat and healthy. Newer locs may need more frequent attention; mature, stable locs can extend intervals. We’ll recommend a personalized schedule based on your hair’s growth and lifestyle.

Yes — a professional deep cleanse removes product residue, sweat, and trapped oils that cause buildup and odor. Combined with targeted oil treatment and scalp care, it refreshes scent and prevents recurrence when paired with home care guidance.

When performed correctly, maintenance strengthens locs rather than damaging them. Our gentle techniques and restorative oils focus on reinforcement, not aggressive manipulation. If locs show weakness, we’ll adjust methods and suggest supportive strengthening treatments.

No heavy prep required; arrive with dry or lightly damp hair free of excessive product. Avoid tight styles that stress roots. If you have scalp concerns or recent chemical treatments, disclose them ahead so we can tailor the service safely.
