Yes, with microlocs your hair should be washed every two to four weeks, preferably by a professional, to prevent loc unraveling.
Loc extensions are permanent, should be undetectable (if done properly), and can be worn as long as you like.
It is preferred practice to do so in order to allow the hair to be in the best condition possible without further damage. However, it is not necessary.
No, never use synthetic or artificial hair to loc your hair! No matter what a stylist tells you, do not allow them to loc your natural hair with synthetic or artificial hair—the appearance is bad and is very difficult to remove afterwards. However, you can loc your natural hair with human hair.
It takes locs an average of one year to mature. If you cut your locs prior to maturity the chance of your hair unraveling increases.
Every four to six weeks depending on the style.
Beeswax can be damaging to hair if one isn’t professionally trained to use it. There is a proper way to apply beeswax to hair and professional natural hair stylists should use it only. Also, lint and dirt can get trapped in your locs and cause build up.
Generally it takes one year for your hair to loc. This will vary from person to person based on their hair texture, how often the hair is professionally serviced, and also the tighter the hair’s natural curl pattern, the sooner it will loc.
Yes, our location is wheelchair accessible.
All of our services include a shampoo, but if you would like to decrease the time of your service you can shampoo your hair prior to your appointment.
