Get answers to common questions about Locs Re-Twist.

Most clients book Locs Re-Twist services every 4–6 weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and desired neatness. Tighter curl patterns may go longer, while faster-growing hair needs more frequent maintenance to prevent unraveling and maintain clean parting.

When performed correctly, Locs Re-Twist should not cause damage. Our stylists use gentle tension, nourishing products, and appropriate tools to avoid stress on roots. Consistent over-tightening can weaken hair, so we tailor each retwist to your loc strength and comfort.

We recommend waiting 24–48 hours before the first wash to allow products to set, though some clients prefer a gentle rinse after 48 hours. Use a residue-free shampoo and avoid aggressive rubbing to preserve the re-twist and prevent frizz.

We use professional setting lotions, specialized twist gels, and lightweight oils selected for your hair type. Products are chosen to provide hold, reduce residue, and maintain scalp health. Tell us about sensitivities and preferred brands so we can customize the application.

Appointment length varies with loc size, density, and length. Expect 45–90 minutes for medium-density, medium-length locs; thicker or extra-long locs can take up to two hours. We provide time estimates at booking to plan accordingly.
