How the crochet method works
This service uses a crochet tool to secure and instantly lock the new growth at the root of each loc without interlocking. The tool pulls loose fibers back into the existing loc structure and tightens the root zone, producing clean, defined roots while preserving the established length and pattern of the locs.
Because the technique targets the root only, it tidies dense heads of locs efficiently and avoids the torsion associated with interlocking. If you need interlocking rather than crochet maintenance, request Interlock Maintenance or call us to discuss which method suits your scalp and styling goals.
What to expect during appointment
Appointments for Crochet Root Maintenance (200 Locs) are thorough and paced to handle dense sets; the listed duration is 330 MINUTES. Your stylist will section and access root growth area by area, using the crochet tool to lock new growth. The process focuses on the scalp line and root integrity rather than reinstalling or retying the entire length.
The price for this service is $420. We schedule with local commuters in mind: evening and weekend times are available for those traveling along Pico/La Cienega or stopping near Century City. Expect a careful, methodical session rather than a quick surface tidy, to ensure consistent, defined root work across 200 locs.
Who this service is for
This root maintenance is best for clients who already have roughly 200 locs and want a refreshed root line without interlocking. It suits people with dense loc patterns seeking clean definition at the scalp while keeping established loc structure, particularly busy professionals and parents who need a dependable, long-lasting tidy.
Seasonal demand peaks in May, June, and December as clients schedule touch-ups before summer trips and holiday gatherings. Living in Los Angeles’s Mediterranean climate means year-round wearability, so many local clients time appointments around shopping or work stops in Pico-Robertson, Beverly Hills, or near the Miracle Mile.
