Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Retwist (Dread Locs).
We recommend retwisting every four to six weeks for most clients. Frequency varies with hair growth, loc size, and personal style goals. Your stylist will assess and recommend a customized timeline to maintain neat roots without causing unnecessary tension or breakage.
A proper retwist performed by an experienced stylist should not thin locs. We use gentle tension, proper sectioning, and minimal product to protect strand integrity. Excessive tightening or too-frequent retwisting can cause stress, so follow recommended schedules.
Yes — we can retwist after deep conditioning, but timing matters. If heavy oils or masks remain, we’ll shampoo thoroughly first. Communicate recent treatments so the stylist can adjust product use and technique for optimal hold and cleanliness.
Appointment length depends on loc size, density, and length. Most retwists take forty-five minutes to two hours. We’ll give an estimated time when you book and work efficiently to ensure precise results without compromising care.
No need to pre-wash — our retwist service includes a thorough shampoo. However, avoid heavy oils, gels, or scalp treatments beforehand. Arrive with dry, product-free locs if possible to allow our stylist to assess natural texture and product needs.
We use residue-free clarifying shampoos, lightweight moisturizing conditioners, and natural oils for scalp health. For retwisting we use light locking products and minimal gel applied sparingly to avoid buildup. We’ll recommend home-safe products tailored to your loc type.
