Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Standard Loc Maintenance.
Most clients return every four to eight weeks depending on loc maturity and hair growth rate. Younger locs and loose roots need more frequent maintenance, while mature, tightly formed locs can go longer. Your stylist recommends a personalized schedule for optimal health.
We use sulfate-free shampoos, clarifying cleansers, moisturizing conditioners, and light, residue-free sealing oils formulated for locs. Tools include professional combs, specialized residue-free gels, and sanitised metal tools. If you have allergies or prefer specific brands, let us know before your appointment.
Appointments vary by loc thickness and service depth but typically take between sixty and one hundred twenty minutes. Deep cleansing and precision grooming require careful sectioning, washing, and retwisting. We provide an estimated duration when booking based on your hair's condition.
No when performed by trained stylists, maintenance strengthens loc integrity. We use gentle techniques and proper tension to secure roots without over-manipulation. If your locs are fragile, we'll adapt methods and recommend restorative treatments to rebuild strength and prevent unraveling.
Basic color refreshes or light styling can often be combined, but full coloring or complex styles may require separate appointments. Discuss color history, desired outcome, and timing when booking so we can plan services and ensure color-safe cleansing and maintenance techniques.
Follow aftercare guidance: avoid heavy products, sleep with a satin bonnet, keep the scalp moisturized with light sprays, and limit water exposure for twenty-four to forty-eight hours if roots were retwisted. Schedule follow-ups and contact us with any concerns for timely adjustments.
