Get answers to common questions about Retwist (More Than 100 Locs, Regular Maintenance).

Appointments for more than 100 locs typically range from two and a half to four hours depending on loc thickness, density, and desired tightness. We allow ample time to ensure careful retwisting without rushing and prioritize comfort and precision.

A skilled retwist should not be painful. We use gentle tension and check scalp comfort throughout the service. Mild tightness immediately after styling is normal and usually settles within a day or two with light moisturization and scalp care.

Wash your hair 24–48 hours before your appointment with a residue-free shampoo and avoid heavy oils or styling products. Bring any preferred accessories and communicate desired tightness so we can customize the service for your locs.

We recommend scheduling retwists every six weeks for consistent maintenance. This interval helps prevent excessive new growth, matting, or thinning at the roots while allowing natural locking to progress healthily.

Wait 48–72 hours before washing to allow the retwist to settle. Use a gentle, residue-free shampoo and dilute if necessary. Pat locs dry and avoid vigorous rubbing to preserve the new root pattern.

Yes—many extension methods are compatible but may require extra time or specialized technique. Inform us when booking so we can plan accordingly, advise on attachment types, and include any additional service time or fees.
