Get answers to common questions about Loc Retwist.

Most clients return every 4–6 weeks for maintenance, though spacing can be 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth and texture. This Loc Retwist covers up to 2–3 inches of new growth; additional charges apply for heavier matting or longer regrowth.

No — the Loc Retwist service focuses on root maintenance only. Styling is booked separately to allow time and care for specific looks. If your new growth exceeds 2–3 inches or is severely matted, extra charges will be assessed before styling.

We can assess matted or longer regrowth during consultation, but the standard Loc Retwist covers only 2–3 inches. Severe matting or extensive length may require extra detangling time and fees, or a separate appointment to safely restore your locs.

Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy oils or buildup for best results. Avoid excessive manipulation or fresh braiding before your appointment. Bring any reference photos and be prepared to discuss desired tension to ensure a comfortable, lasting Loc Retwist.

Most Loc Retwists for up to 2–3 inches of new growth take approximately 45–90 minutes, depending on loc thickness and scalp condition. Heavier density or required detangling may extend the appointment time and could incur additional fees.

When performed with appropriate tension and care, a Loc Retwist should not cause breakage. Inform your stylist about sensitive areas or weak strands beforehand. Overly tight retwists or existing damage can lead to issues; we adjust technique to protect hair and scalp health.
