Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Coil or two strand twist with C-part.

Appointment time depends on hair length, density, and section size. Expect roughly 2–5 hours for a full-head starter install. We give a tailored estimate when you book and recommend arriving with clean, detangled hair to stay on schedule.

Yes. During consultation we recommend coils or two-strand twists based on texture, desired thickness, and upkeep preference. Coils give tighter definition; two-strand twists create a softer, natural rotation while still forming a strong loc base.

Wash and thoroughly detangle hair before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils or conditioners that can leave residue. Dry, product-free hair makes clean parting easier and ensures the best hold and longevity for your starter locs.

Keep the scalp moisturized with light oils, sleep on satin, and avoid excessive manipulation. Wash gently every 1–2 weeks with residue-free shampoo and schedule maintenance retwists every 4–8 weeks to preserve shape and health.

When done correctly, C-parting actually balances tension across sections. We use gentle techniques to minimize pulling. If you have sensitive edges or fragile hair, tell your stylist so we can adjust tension and protect your hairline.

Maturation varies by hair type and care, typically 12–24 months to fully lock. Early shaping happens in 3–6 months. Consistent maintenance, proper moisture, and avoiding excessive tension help locs mature healthier and faster.
