What the retwist involves
Every appointment begins with a brief consultation and scalp check so your stylist can assess new growth, scalp condition and any tension points. For a full retwist of more than 120 locs we allocate 90 MINUTES; that time is used for sectioning, root rotation and setting each loc so the finished look is neat and consistent.
Because this service covers a high count of locs, precision and controlled tension shape the result. Clients who come regularly notice cleaner parting and tighter roots after a professional retwist — many reviews mention lasting, neat results and improved hair health when maintenance is kept on a routine schedule.
How to prepare and arrive
You don’t have to wash at home before arriving — Salon Daba can include a wash if you prefer, and many clients choose that option for a fresher finish. If you plan to wash at home, arrive with hair fully dry unless you’ve cleared extra time; wet hair can change timing and may require additional care.
Our Hollywood location near the Hollywood/Highland area makes short pre- or post-commute appointments practical, including evening and weekend slots for working clients. Plan for the full 90 MINUTES plus travel; book ahead for June, November and December when maintenance demand rises for summer and holiday schedules.
Aftercare and six-week maintenance
Regular upkeep shapes how long a retwist stays tidy. Salon Daba recommends scheduling retwists every six weeks for ongoing maintenance — that interval balances new growth with preserving loc integrity. Between visits, gentle scalp care, protective night coverings and avoiding excessive tension help preserve the retwist without introducing new problems.
Return sooner if you have discomfort, sudden loosening, or visible buildup that affects the scalp. Many clients come in before shows or travel to ensure their locs look fresh for events around Los Angeles; book early for busy months to secure evening or weekend appointments that suit your schedule.
