Instant locs commonly hold their shape for several weeks. Most clients return every four to eight weeks for retightening or touch-ups depending on hair growth, texture, and lifestyle. We’ll recommend a personalized maintenance plan during your appointment.

Yes — our stylists evaluate texture, density, and length during consultation. Instant locs work on many hair types, though results and timing vary. We’ll suggest size adjustments or extensions if needed to achieve your desired look.

When installed correctly by trained professionals using gentle tension and quality products, instant locs are safe. Proper sizing, technique, and aftercare minimize stress. Follow our maintenance advice to protect hair health and reduce breakage risk.

Wait 48 to 72 hours before your first wash to help locs set. Use diluted sulfate-free shampoo, gentle hand washing, and thorough drying. Light oils keep the scalp moisturized. We’ll provide a detailed aftercare routine and product recommendations.
