Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Interlock (1.5 Hours).

Results vary by hair type and lifestyle, but interlocking commonly maintains a neat appearance for four to eight weeks. Active hair growth, washing frequency, and friction affect timing, so we recommend scheduling based on your hair's individual needs.

This session focuses primarily on loose roots and new growth, though we can tighten many locs within the allotted time. Severely matted or very long locs may require additional time or a separate appointment for complete maintenance.

Arrive with clean, dry hair unless otherwise directed. We suggest clarifying shampoo 24-48 hours before your appointment and avoiding heavy oils or conditioners so the interlock grips properly and the stylist can assess loc condition accurately.

When performed correctly by a trained stylist, interlocking minimizes tension and protects locs. Over-tightening can cause stress, so communicate your comfort level. If hair is fragile, we’ll use gentler techniques to prevent thinning and breakage.

Final cost depends on loc density, length, condition, and time required beyond the base 1.5 hours. Repairs, heavy buildup, or extensive tightening may increase time. We provide a clear estimate after consulting and inspecting your locs.

Avoid heavy manipulation and tight styling for 24-48 hours, sleep on a satin pillowcase or bonnet, and refrain from soaking locs immediately. Use light oils sparingly and schedule follow-up maintenance every 4–8 weeks or as advised by your stylist.
