Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Express Prepping Instant Loc.
Timing varies by hair density and packed style, typically 45–90 minutes. We assess hair on arrival, prioritizing even sections and secure packing so your instant loc installation proceeds smoothly and comfortably.
Yes, though optimal results typically need at least two to three inches of packed hair. Very short hair may require additional packing or a different technique to achieve secure instant locs.
When performed by our trained stylists, prepping minimizes stress through gentle detangling and correct product use. Proper technique protects strands, reduces breakage risk, and preserves hair integrity prior to loc attachment.
Arrive with clean, dry packed hair if possible. Avoid heavy oils or recent chemical treatments. Bring reference photos and expect a brief consultation to tailor sectioning and packing to your goals.
Basic cleansing and light conditioning are included to prepare packed hair. Intensive deep-conditioning or scalp therapy can be added for an extra fee—discuss needs during consultation for personalized care.
You may proceed directly to instant loc installation the same day. Our prepping ensures consistent sections and secure packing so installation is efficient; schedule both services together for a single salon visit.
