Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Instant Locs (1.5 Hours).

Instant Locs suit a wide range of textures—from coarse to fine kinky hair—especially hair with some length and density. Our stylists assess elasticity and thickness to recommend optimal loc size and installation approach to ensure durability and a natural appearance.

With proper care, Instant Locs can retain shape for several weeks; many clients request touch-ups every 4–8 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance routine, activities, and chosen loc thickness—thicker locs often require less frequent maintenance.

Yes — we customize loc diameter, parting pattern, and length during the 1.5-hour session. Bring reference photos and discuss your ideal look; we’ll tailor installation to suit face shape, lifestyle, and long-term maintenance preferences.

When installed correctly by experienced stylists, Instant Locs should not cause damage. We use gentle tension and protective methods. Follow aftercare guidance to avoid breakage—report scalp discomfort and schedule timely maintenance to preserve hair health.

After your appointment, avoid heavy manipulation for the first week. Keep locs clean and dry when possible, use recommended cleansing routines, and apply lightweight oils sparingly. Return for professional maintenance as advised to maintain neatness and longevity.

You can gently wash Instant Locs after 48–72 hours unless instructed otherwise. Use a residue-free shampoo, dilute if needed, and thoroughly dry to prevent mildew. Avoid heavy styling or tight ponytails immediately to minimize stress on new installations.
