Get answers to common questions about Updo.

A locs Updo typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on loc size, complexity, and added accessories. We allow extra time for consultation, detailing, and gentle shaping to ensure longevity and a flawless finish.

When performed by experienced stylists at Salon Daba, an Updo should not damage healthy locs. We use tension-aware techniques, gentle pinning, and proper sectioning to protect hair integrity and minimize breakage.

With attentive styling and nightly protection, most clients enjoy an Updo's structure for one to three weeks. Environmental factors and activity level influence longevity; schedule touch-ups or refreshes for longer-lasting polish.

You can wash locs after an Updo, but wait 24–48 hours for set to settle. Use mild shampoo, dilute if needed, and fully dry to prevent mildew. We advise gentle cleansing techniques to preserve style.
