Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get starter locs done?
The time depends on hair length and texture, but most starter loc sessions take between 3 to 6 hours. We focus on clean sections and long-lasting results.
Can I get dreadlocks if I’ve recently relaxed my hair?
Yes, but we recommend waiting at least 8–12 weeks after your last relaxer. This gives your natural texture time to grow in, which helps the locs form and hold better.
What’s the difference between palm rolling and the crochet method?
Palm rolling shape locs are used with your hands and are great for maintenance. The crochet method uses a small tool to instantly lock hair and is best for faster results with less frizz.
How often should I get my dreadlocks retwisted?
For most clients, a retwist every 4 to 6 weeks works best. It keeps your roots tidy and prevents locs from merging or growing too loose at the base.
Can I wash my hair with dreadlocks, and how soon after installation?
Absolutely. Clean locs are healthy locs. For new installs, we suggest waiting 2–3 weeks before your first wash to allow the locs to begin setting properly.
