Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Starter Locs w/ Two Strands Twist.
Initial appointment length varies by hair length, density, and desired size. Typically expect 2.5 to 5 hours. A consultation beforehand helps estimate time. Allow extra for precise sectioning and styling to ensure a strong foundation for your loc journey.
Yes. Two-strand twists adapt well to most natural hair textures. Your stylist will assess texture, porosity, and density to recommend sizing and technique. Fine or slippery hair may need additional prepping for secure twists and longer-lasting starter locs.
Wash gently after the first week using a diluted, residue-free shampoo. Focus on the scalp and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry and avoid vigorous rubbing. Follow our aftercare steps to prevent unraveling and encourage natural locking during early maturation.
Maturation varies widely—expect noticeable locking between 3 to 12 months depending on texture, maintenance, and twist size. Smaller, tighter twists typically lock faster. Regular care and minimal manipulation accelerate the process; periodic retightening may be recommended.
Light styling is fine, such as loose buns or gentle parting. Avoid heavy pulling, tight braids, or heat which can stress fresh twists. Use soft accessories and consult your stylist for safe styling during the initial weeks.
Maintenance includes gentle cleansing, scalp moisturizing, and nightly protection with satin or silk coverings. Avoid over-manipulation; handle twists minimally. Schedule retightening or grooming appointments every 4–8 weeks depending on growth. We provide a personalized care plan to support healthy locking.
