What happens during a retwist
A retwist focuses on the new growth at the root: your loctician will tidy and secure the bases of individual micro locs so established shafts stay intact. This specific service is for about 2-3 inches of growth and for clients who have not had a retwist in roughly two months. The appointment time listed for this service is 180 MINUTES.
At Salon Daba we balance precision with pace—clients often comment that work is fast yet careful. Depending on your hair density and the amount of new growth, the stylist may take extra time to ensure even tightening while preserving loc health and neat parting across the scalp.
What shapes the final result
Several practical factors affect how your retwist looks and holds: the amount of 2-3 inch growth, hair thickness, product or residue at the roots, and time since the last service. Los Angeles's Mediterranean climate—warm, dry summers and milder wetter winters—can influence how products sit and how often you want maintenance.
Skill and studio practices also matter. Reviews consistently note Salon Daba's clean shop, careful technique, and long-lasting results. Expect your stylist to assess condition and choose a root method that keeps micro locs tidy while avoiding excessive tension on the scalp.
Before and after care
Many clients choose an in‑salon wash before a retwist—reviews mention thorough AVC or deep shampoo options—so arrive ready to discuss cleansing if you want it included. If you prefer to come washed or dry, tell us at booking. Evening and weekend appointments are available for commuters and event schedules around Hollywood, making timing easier for busy professionals.
After the retwist you should plan follow-up maintenance and book around peak months, since May, September and December are busiest for event prep and catch-up tightening. Clients often leave feeling refreshed and report durable results; schedule your next visit while you’re still in the salon to secure a convenient time.
