Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Wick Maintenance.

Wick Maintenance is hourly because thicker, wicked locs vary widely. Sessions commonly range from one to three hours, though denser or heavily separated roots may need more time. The timer starts when the crochet needle first contacts your locs.

Hourly service covers skilled root crocheting to secure and tidy locs, with a professional assessment and styling time variations. Each session includes one complimentary Loc Seeds product choice: All-Purpose Loc Oil or the Hydration Treatment.

When performed by a trained technician, crochet maintenance should not damage locs. Proper technique, moderated tension, and experienced hands minimize stress. Over-crocheting or aggressive work can cause issues, so communicate comfort and spacing preferences with your stylist.

Frequency depends on growth and desired neatness. Many clients book every 4–8 weeks; thicker or slower-growing locs can extend to 8–12 weeks. We assess your loc density and recommend a personalized schedule during your visit.

Yes. Each Wick Maintenance booking includes a choice of one Loc Seeds product. Select the All-Purpose Loc Oil for sealing and shine or the Hydration Treatment for deep moisture and improved manageability post-service.

Ideally arrive with clean, dry locs washed 24–48 hours before your appointment using residue-free products. Heavy conditioners or buildup can interfere with crocheting. If unsure, contact us and we can advise based on your loc condition.
