Frequently Asked Questions

An average head is usually between 80 and 100 pencil-size locs. This varies depending on the size of the head, and the type of locs (e.g., “sister locs” would be a lot more).

The best method for starter locs is “crochet interlock” for many reasons. First, crochet interlock lasts longer than the other quick methods, eventually costing you less frequent visits to get maintenance or a re-do. This will eventually save you money in the long run. Crochet interlock also looks more authentic and can be styled in many ways to suit your taste.

Crochet interlock must be maintained every 2-3 months to take care of new hair growth and to freshen up your locs.

This depends on the type of locs installed. For example, coil or comb twist methods last only between 2-4 weeks. As a way of giving the best value for your money, we focus exclusively on crochet interlocking. This is a more authentic look, lasts longer, less visits to the hair stylist, less maintenance. Crochet Interlocking lasts for as long as you want with regular maintenance.

It is recommended that once you get your first locs, you do not wash them for the first four weeks. This will allow it to settle and relax. After this, you can do a light wash. Most people wait for the first maintenance visit to wash.

Since there are so many things to consider, for example, length and type of your own hair, length and type of dreads you require, amount of locs needed, length of extension if needed, type of extension etc., it is difficult to give a set price. We usually start with a FREE consultation to determine what you need and how to give you the most cost-effective price. However, we always give you the best value for your money, this is why our clients keep coming back.

For your natural hair, it is recommended that you wait until the locs are settled and relaxed, which is approximately 2-3 months. This can be done at the time of your first grooming. However, if you are getting extensions, they can be custom colored at or before the time of installation.

No. A lot of people chose this hairstyle because it is not only fashionable but also low maintenance. You don’t need to do much at home, just hydrate when necessary, and oil your scalp once per week. Styled as desired or just let it flow. Once your locs are installed your frequency of visiting the salon is less than other hairstyles.
