Starter Locs Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about starting and maintaining your new locs.
Installation time depends on method and hair length: comb coils and two-strand twists typically take two to four hours, instant locs with extensions three to six hours, and interlocking longer for dense or lengthy hair. Your stylist will give a precise estimate during consultation.
When installed correctly by experienced stylists and using quality extensions, instant locs cause minimal damage. Properly sized extensions, gentle techniques, and correct aftercare prevent breakage. We always assess hair health first and recommend alternatives if hair is fragile.
During the first six months, retightening is usually needed every four to eight weeks depending on hair growth and style. Interlocks may require more frequent maintenance early on. Your stylist will advise a schedule based on your hair texture and chosen method.
You can wash locs after 1-2 weeks depending on installation method. Instant locs often allow earlier washing, while some interlock techniques benefit from a short wait. Use residue-free shampoo and follow our aftercare steps to avoid unraveling.
Pricing varies by technique, length, density, and whether extensions are used. Comb coils and two-strand twists are typically most affordable; instant locs with quality extensions and long interlocks cost more. We provide transparent estimates during consultation based on your specific needs.
Light styling is fine immediately—simple updos, parting, and gentle shaping. Avoid heavy pulling, tight bands, or heat styling for the first few weeks to let locs set. We’ll demonstrate safe styling options and protective choices during your appointment.
