Appointment time varies by loc size and hair density; expect three to six hours for a full individual crochet faux locs install. We schedule sufficient time to ensure precise parting, secure attachment, and a polished, long-lasting finish.

With proper care, individual crochet faux locs can last eight to twelve weeks before maintenance. Touch-ups for new growth and tightened roots may be needed sooner. Regular moisturizing and gentle handling extend wear and protect your natural hair.

When installed by experienced stylists and maintained gently, the crochet method minimizes stress and breakage. Proper tension, base protection, and scheduled removal help prevent damage. Avoid excessive pulling, tight styles, and prolonged neglect to keep hair healthy.

Ideal starting length is about two to three inches for secure braiding or cornrows, but our stylists adapt for shorter or longer hair. Hair should be clean, detangled, and reasonably healthy; treatments can be scheduled to prepare fragile hair.

Maintain with light moisturizing sprays, scalp oiling, and gentle cleansing every one to two weeks. Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, avoid heavy products that cause buildup, and refrain from over-manipulating locs to preserve style and longevity.

You can style and lightly accessorize faux locs; coloring pre-colored synthetic hair is not recommended. Swimming is possible but requires thorough rinsing and drying afterward. Use protective measures and consult your stylist for safe styling and any color options.
