Get answers to common questions about Retwist Locs.

Appointment length varies by loc thickness, length, and quantity. Typically expect 60 to 120 minutes; larger or longer locs may take longer. Arrive with hair washed and completely dry to ensure we can complete service efficiently and on time.

Yes. Clients must wash and thoroughly dry their hair before the appointment. Clean, dry hair allows for better retwisting, reduces styling time, and ensures we achieve a neat, long-lasting result while protecting your scalp and locs.

Frequency depends on hair growth and preferred look. Most clients schedule retwists every 4 to 8 weeks to maintain neat roots without causing excessive tension. We’ll recommend a schedule based on loc size, maturity, and your haircare routine.

When performed correctly by trained stylists and with pre-washed, dry hair, retwisting should not cause damage. We use gentle technique and appropriate tension. Avoid overly frequent or tight retwists to reduce breakage risk; follow aftercare guidance.

Yes. Our stylists are experienced with varied loc sizes and textures. We tailor technique and tension to each loc, ensuring uniform appearance and healthy retention. If you want size changes, discuss options — some adjustments may require separate services.

We use lightweight, residue-free gels, natural oils, and professional locking products designed for loc maintenance. Products chosen based on your hair needs to avoid buildup and maintain healthy locs. Tell your stylist about allergies or product preferences.
