Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Starter Locs.
Typical installs range from two to six hours depending on hair length, density, section size, and desired technique. A pre-service consultation helps set accurate timing and expectations for your individual loc journey.
When performed with gentle, low-tension techniques, Starter Locs should not damage hair or hinder growth. Proper sectioning and scalp care protect follicles; always communicate sensitivities so we can adjust tension and methods.
Maintenance typically occurs every 4–8 weeks based on new growth, loc size, and hair texture. Gentle palm rolling at home can aid formation, while professional follow-ups ensure even locking and healthy development.
Use a sulfate-free shampoo, dilute before applying, and dry thoroughly to prevent mildew. Light oils keep the scalp moisturized; avoid heavy creams. Protect locs nightly with a silk scarf or pillowcase to reduce friction.
Wait 2–7 days before the first wash to allow sections to set; exact timing depends on technique and hair porosity. Follow your stylist’s instructions to protect forming locs and maintain scalp health.
Starter Locs work on most textures and many lengths, though approach varies by texture and length. Fine or very long hair may need modified sectioning or reinforcement. Book a consultation to customize your plan.
