Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Color Half Head - Mid back.

Appointments typically last 2.5–4 hours depending on desired color, any required lightening, and loc volume. Mid-back length needs extra product and processing time, so we block sufficient time to ensure even, professional results.

When done with bond-safe formulas and proper moisturizing, color minimally affects loc integrity. We use protective treatments and post-color care advice to maintain strength and prevent dryness or breakage over time.

Wash locs 24-48 hours before appointment with a clarifying shampoo and avoid heavy oils or styling products. Bring reference photos and disclose past chemical treatments and note any sensitivities or allergies.

Longevity varies by pigment choice, washing routine, and sun exposure. Expect 6–10 weeks of vibrant color before noticeable fading; touch-ups or color-refresh services keep brightness and saturation looking fresh. We recommend color-safe products and weekly conditioning to extend life.

Use sulfate-free shampoos, cold-water rinses, and moisturizing loc creams to preserve pigment and moisture. Schedule maintenance appointments and avoid excessive heat styling to prolong color and loc health. We provide personalized product recommendations at your appointment.
