Most appointments take about 60–90 minutes depending on loc thickness and new growth amount. We focus on efficiently tightening roots with the crochet tool to refresh all 80 locs. Please arrive with clean, dry hair for best results.

Yes. Crochet maintenance uses a hook to quickly lock new growth without interlocking, offering a gentler, faster refresh. Interlocking permanently tightens roots and is better for major tightening. Call us if you’re unsure — we’ll recommend the right maintenance for your locs.

Yes, but very long or severely matted new growth may require interlocking or additional work. We’ll assess hair at appointment and advise whether crochet maintenance will tidy roots or if interlocking is safer to secure loc integrity.

Yes. Please arrive with clean, dry hair to ensure the crochet tool bonds well and to speed service. Heavy oils or product buildup can interfere with locking and increase appointment time. We can advise if you need a wash before your visit.

When performed by trained stylists, crochet maintenance is safe and gentle. Proper technique minimizes stress on the shaft and scalp. Overly frequent tightening can cause tension; we recommend scheduled maintenance intervals to preserve loc health and strength.
