What Are Locs?
Locs form when sections of hair are coiled or twisted and left to lock together as they grow. Starting locs the right way, with clean, even parts and the right method for your hair, sets the foundation for healthy locs for years. We will look at your hair texture, length, and goals and recommend how to start, whether that is comb coils, two-strand twists, or another method that suits your hair.
Why Clients Love Locs
- A strong start. Clean, even parts set up neat, healthy locs.
- Low daily styling. Once they settle in, locs are easy to live with.
- Your style. Small, medium, or large locs, plus loc styles for any occasion.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Starting locs usually takes 2 to 6 hours depending on your hair length, density, and the size you want. Come with clean, dry hair unless you booked a wash. We will talk through size, parting, and how to care for your locs while they settle in.
How to Care for New Locs
- Sleep in a satin bonnet or wrap.
- Wash gently and keep your scalp clean while new locs settle.
- Book a retwist about every 4 to 6 weeks to keep new growth neat.
