Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about 6 inch Loc Extensions.

Installation time typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours depending on hair density, parting size, and desired thickness. Consult during booking for a more accurate estimate based on your natural hair and chosen starter loc size.

When installed correctly using brick lay and appropriate starter parts, extensions should not damage healthy hair. Avoid excessive tension and follow aftercare. Regular maintenance appointments minimize stress and allow your stylist to monitor scalp and hair health.

Use a gentle sulfate-free shampoo and dilute when rinsing. Keep scalp moisturized with light oils, avoid heavy products that cause buildup. Sleep with a satin scarf, and schedule regular retightening to maintain neatness and longevity.

We recommend maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks to tighten new growth and keep parts tidy. Frequency varies with hair growth rate and activity level; your stylist will advise a customized schedule at each visit.

We advise coloring natural hair before installation for best results. Synthetic or treated extension hair may not accept color evenly. If you plan to dye, consult your stylist so we can recommend appropriate hair types and timing to avoid damage.

With proper care and regular maintenance, starter loc extensions can last several months up to a year before a full replacement is needed. Longevity depends on hair growth, care routine, and activity level; periodic refreshes extend wear.
