Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Wicks Maintenance.
Most clients benefit from Wicks Maintenance every 4–8 weeks depending on growth, scalp condition, and activity level. We recommend personalized timing during your consultation to balance maintenance, prevent matting, and preserve natural wick structure without over-manipulation.
No. Performed properly with a crochet needle and gentle oiling, Wicks Maintenance tightens without cutting or excessive tension. Our trained stylists use soft techniques to minimize stress, reduce breakage risk, and promote healthy loc retention.
Yes, but we’ll assess sensitivity first. We use mild cleansers, soothing oils, and adjust pressure accordingly. If inflammation or infection is present, we may postpone until the scalp heals to avoid aggravation and ensure a safe, comfortable service.
Appointments generally run 60–90 minutes depending on wick density and condition. Thorough oil treatment, shampooing, part cleaning, and careful crochet tightening require time for gentle, precise work to achieve lasting, neat results without rushing.
Expect cleaner, firmer wicks and a refreshed scalp. Avoid heavy manipulation for 48–72 hours, use recommended light oils, and wash gently. We provide a personalized aftercare routine to maintain results and schedule follow-ups for ongoing upkeep.
Yes. Depending on time and loc condition, we can combine retwists, trimming, or deep conditioning. We’ll evaluate and recommend a plan to avoid overprocessing. Additional services may extend appointment length and cost, which we’ll confirm before starting.
