Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Loc Extensions.

With proper care, expect re-tightening or adjustments every 4-8 weeks. Lifespan varies by hair type, attachment method, and maintenance; high-quality extensions can last six to twelve months before a full replacement is recommended.

Properly installed by trained stylists, loc extensions should not harm your roots. We use tension-minimizing methods and assess scalp health beforehand. Regular maintenance and avoiding heavy styles reduce stress; a consultation will determine the best approach for your locs.

Pricing depends on length, volume, hair type, extension material, and installation method. Consultation gives an accurate quote; expect variations based on custom color matching, complexity, and stylist experience. We provide transparent estimates before booking.

Use sulfate-free cleansers, dilute shampoo, and gently wash monthly to avoid buildup. Moisturize scalp and locs with lightweight oils, protect hair at night with satin or silk, avoid heavy products, and limit tension from tight styles. Follow your stylist's maintenance schedule.

You can swim and exercise, but take precautions: wet and condition hair before swimming, wear a swim cap when possible, rinse and cleanse thoroughly after exposure to chlorine or salt, and ensure complete drying to prevent odor or mildew. Consult stylist for protective styling.

Installation time varies by method, length, and volume—typically two to six hours. Intricate techniques or custom color matching add time. Allow for a full consultation and styling; our booking will provide an exact timeframe based on your desired look.
