Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Locs Detox & Retwist.

Appointments typically take 90–150 minutes depending on loc length, thickness, and buildup level. Shorter or thinner locs finish faster; dense or extra-long locs require more time to thoroughly detox, rinse, and retwist for professional results.

Our detox targets product residue and impurities while preserving natural oils when performed correctly. We use balancing cleansers and follow with conditioning treatments and light oils to replenish moisture, preventing over-drying and preserving loc health.

We generally recommend retwists every 4–6 weeks for most clients. Waiting longer is fine for mature locs, but more frequent retwists can cause tension; we tailor timing based on your hair health and maintenance goals.

Aftercare includes gentle cleansing routines, avoiding heavy waxes or buildup-causing products, sleeping with a satin scarf, and light scalp oiling as recommended. Follow stylist instructions to maintain cleanliness and prolong your retwist results.

Yes, we can perform a gentle detox and careful retwist on starter or soft locs, but the approach is adjusted to avoid stress. A consultation helps determine the safest method and timing for younger or fragile locs.

We use professional clarifying cleansers, residue-free conditioners, lightweight sealants, and natural oils chosen for loc health. All products are selected to remove buildup without leaving film, then to hydrate and protect your locs post-service.
