Get answers to common questions about Extension Locs.

Installation usually takes between four and eight hours depending on loc thickness, length, and method chosen. A consultation before booking helps estimate time, and longer or more intricate styles may require a second appointment or additional hours.

When installed by experienced stylists using appropriate tension and quality hair, extension locs should not cause damage. Proper care, periodic tightening, and avoiding excessive weight prevent stress on roots and minimize breakage or thinning over time.

Wash every one to two weeks with diluted gentle shampoo, massaging the scalp and avoiding heavy rubbing of the locs. Rinse well, towel blot, and air dry or diffuse completely. Schedule regular salon maintenance to retighten and address buildup.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a snug swim cap, wet hair with fresh water before swimming, and rinse/shampoo afterwards to remove chlorine or salt. After exercise, tie locs up, wash sweat from scalp regularly, and dry thoroughly to prevent odor.

Plan maintenance every 4-8 weeks depending on hair growth, loc size, and activity level. Regular retightening prevents matting at the roots, preserves shape, and keeps your extensions looking neat. We'll recommend a schedule during consultation.
