Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Faux Locs (Install Only).

Install time depends on loc size, length, and hair density. Typical appointments range from 3 to 8 hours. During booking we estimate time based on your chosen look; arriving with clean, detangled hair helps speed the process.

This service covers installation only; any extension hair or additional materials are not included unless specified. We can advise on brands and amounts to bring or purchase prior to your appointment.

When installed properly with correct tension and protective techniques, faux locs are low-damage. Regular moisturizing, gentle handling, and periodic scalp care prevent stress; consult your stylist if you have fragile or recently chemically-treated hair.

Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle hair 24–48 hours before your scheduled install. Avoid heavy oils or treatments that can make hair slippery; come with hair clean and stretched for best results.

With proper care, faux locs often last six to eight weeks; individual results vary by hair growth and maintenance. Many clients schedule touch-ups every four to six weeks for neat edges, reduced frizz, and prolonged style longevity.

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but protect your locs. Rinse salt or chlorine promptly, braid or tie locs at night, and apply lightweight scalp oil after workouts. Follow stylist care tips to prevent buildup and frizz.
