Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about 5- Repairs.

Most 5-Repairs sessions take between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on damage extent, loc density, and added treatments. We'll assess first and give an estimated time so you can plan accordingly.

Repairs focus on restoring integrity rather than altering size. Minor shaping may occur to blend repairs, but we avoid unnecessary thinning. If you want a size change, discuss it first so we can plan appropriately.

We can repair many cases through reconstruction, interlocking, extension blending, or re-twisting, but some locs may require replacement if damage is irreparable. A consultation identifies realistic outcomes and tailored options.

Generally wait 24-48 hours to allow newly repaired areas to settle. For heavier treatments or adhesive use, we may recommend longer. Follow your stylist's aftercare instructions to avoid loosening repaired sections.

Aftercare typically includes gentle cleansing, avoiding heavy manipulation, applying recommended oils or sealants, sleeping with a silk scarf, and returning for follow-up checks. We provide a custom regimen based on repair type.

Pricing varies with the complexity of damage, number of locs repaired, and additional treatments. We provide estimates after a free consultation and inspection. Expect transparent pricing tiers and a personalized quote.
