Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Loc Re-Twist.

Most clients benefit from retwists every 4โ€“8 weeks, depending on growth rate, loc thickness, and preferred neatness. Faster growth or tighter locs call for more frequent appointments; mature, slower-growing locs can sometimes go longer between sessions.

Our stylists use tension-safe methods and assess your hair and scalp condition before retwisting. When done properly, retwists should not cause damage. Over-manipulation or heavy products can stress locs, so we prioritize gentle techniques and protective aftercare recommendations.

Appointment length varies by hair density, loc thickness, and chosen finish. Expect 60โ€“120 minutes for most retwists; thicker or longer locs can take longer. We book accordingly to ensure quality and a relaxed, unrushed experience.
