Assessment and wash process
We begin by assessing new growth, scalp condition and the state of each loc for clients with under 100 locs and about 4 inches of growth. That initial check determines whether a standard retwist will tidy new growth or if additional time or an alternative approach is needed; this step shapes the whole appointment.
When a wash is needed we perform a thorough cleanse before retwisting — clients have noted AVC and deep-shampoo treatments paired with the retwist. A complete shampoo clarifies product build-up and softens new growth so the retwist sits neat and lasts longer; the typical appointment for this condition is 90 MINUTES.
How the retwist is done
Retwisting focuses on reconnecting new growth to the existing loc by parting, applying product as needed, and neatly re-twisting or retightening the roots. Technicians aim for consistent tension and clean parting to produce a polished look while respecting hair health. Precision and speed are balanced; many clients report fast yet careful work.
Because this service is for locs that haven’t been retwisted for two months, expect shaping around the crown and possible refinement of part lines. Results depend on growth pattern, previous styling, and how fragile or matted the new growth is — heavy matting can change the approach or timing for completion.
Local logistics and timing
Salon Daba is on the La Brea corridor in central Hollywood, convenient for clients using Hollywood/Highland transit or nearby bus routes. Evening and weekend bookings accommodate professionals working late in entertainment and hospitality, and visitors often book around shows at the Hollywood Bowl or Griffith Observatory visits.
Plan for a 90 MINUTES appointment for this exact service; busiest months are April, September and December when clients request resets after seasonal changes or before events. Same-day booking is possible at times — reviews mention that clients have successfully booked on short notice — but availability varies, so check ahead.
