No — when performed correctly, interlocking is gentle and protective. We control tension and use safe sectioning to avoid breakage, assess preexisting damage, and recommend strengthening routines to support healthy loc formation.

Wait 48–72 hours before your first full wash to allow interlocks to settle. Use a diluted, residue-free shampoo and gentle massaging. We provide step-by-step aftercare and product suggestions to maintain cleanliness without loosening new locs.

Yes. Loc size can be adjusted over time through re-parting, combining, or professional reworking. Changing size may require multiple sessions and a consultation to determine the best approach for your density and desired look.

Maintain with monthly or bi-monthly retouches, light moisturizing, and protective night routines. Avoid heavy creams and excessive tension. Regular salon visits keep roots neat, prevent matting, and ensure long-term loc health.

Interlocking works well for most textured hair types, especially coily and curly patterns. Very fine or straight hair may need extra assessment. We tailor section size and technique to your texture for secure, natural microlocs.
