Starter Locs Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries about starting and caring for your new locs.
Timing varies with hair length, loc size, and technique chosen; most starter loc appointments take two to six hours. We will assess during your consultation, explain options, and schedule an accurate time estimate based on your individual needs.
When performed by trained professionals using gentle techniques, starter locs do not inherently damage hair. We prioritize scalp health, minimize tension, and recommend proper maintenance. If hair is fragile, we'll recommend strengthening treatments or wait until hair is healthier before starting.
Choice depends on lifestyle, desired maintenance, and hair thickness; shorter locs mature faster and require less weight, medium offers balance, long provides dramatic length but needs more care. During consultation we'll evaluate your goals and recommend the best option for lasting results.
Maintain starter locs with gentle cleansing every one-to-two weeks, light moisturizing, and avoiding heavy products or tight hairstyles. Retwists or interlocking should be scheduled per your hair's growth pattern; we'll provide a personalized care plan and teach at-home routines.
Yes — consultations are required to assess hair health, determine ideal loc size, and plan time and pricing. During consultation we'll discuss expectations, styling options, and aftercare so your starter loc experience starts confidently and safely.
Starter locs work on most hair types, but very fragile or chemically damaged hair may need treatment first. Minors require guardian consent. We'll evaluate during consultation and recommend strengthening, alternative starting methods, or a waiting period to protect hair health.
