Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Comb Retwist + Loc Repairs ( 21 - 30 Locs ).

Sessions typically last 90 to 180 minutes depending on loc thickness, repair extent, and hair length. Minor repairs shorten time; extensive fixes, retightening, or added styling may extend the appointment. Your stylist will give a time estimate during booking.

Repairs are performed to blend seamlessly with your existing locs; the retwist refreshes roots while repairs restore shape and strength. Most clients notice tidier, healthier-looking locs without drastic change to size or natural character.

Generally every 4 to 8 weeks keeps new growth controlled and prevents tangling. If you notice loose roots, separation, or fraying sooner, schedule earlier. Your stylist will recommend an interval based on hair speed, tension tolerance, and repair needs.

We evaluate each loc's condition before starting. Many severely damaged or thinning locs can be stabilized with careful repair, reinforcement, or insulation techniques; in advanced cases we may recommend staged repairs, restorative treatments, or consultation for alternative options to protect hair health.

Avoid washing for 24-48 hours to set roots, sleep on a satin bonnet or pillowcase, and use lightweight, residue-free products. Avoid heavy styling or tight tension; follow any personalized guidance and book touch-ups as recommended to maintain results.

When performed correctly, the procedure minimizes breakage. You may notice normal release of loose shed hairs, but not ongoing damage. Our stylists use gentle methods, assess weak areas, and recommend strengthening treatments to reduce future shedding.
