Frequently Asked Questions

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

We recommend maintenance every 4–6 weeks for optimal health, though spacing can vary by hair texture, density, and desired look. Clients with slower growth or protective styles may extend to 8 weeks; your stylist will tailor timing and care recommendations.

No—proper maintenance will not thin locs when performed gently; it removes buildup and tightens roots. Excessive tension or over-manipulation can cause thinning, so we use careful techniques to preserve fullness while maintaining neat, healthy locs.

Service time varies with loc condition and styling needs. For under 75 locs, expect approximately 1.5 to 3 hours depending on density, scalp work, and any repairs. We provide a time estimate when you book based on your loc profile.

We recommend waiting 24–48 hours before washing to allow therapeutic oils to absorb and the loc structure to settle. If your scalp needs attention sooner, follow post-care guidance provided by your stylist to balance cleanliness and treatment benefits.

We use clarifying, residue-free cleansers, nourishing therapeutic oils, and lightweight conditioners chosen for loc health. Products are professional-grade and customizable for sensitivities, including fragrance-free and natural options to protect both scalp and loc integrity.

Yes. Techniques are adapted for new or mature locs—gentler handling and lighter tightening for fresh locs, and more restorative cleaning or repair work for mature locs. Your stylist assesses each loc to choose the safest, most effective approach.
