Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Starter Dread Locs.
Appointments typically last two to five hours depending on hair length, texture, and chosen loc size. Micro locs take longer; larger sections are faster. Your stylist will provide an estimated time during consultation to ensure proper scheduling.
When performed correctly by trained stylists, the Starter Dread Locs process minimizes tension and breakage. We assess hair strength and use gentle methods; however, existing damage or overly tight sections can cause issues, so honest consultation and proper aftercare are essential.
Wait one to two weeks before the first full wash to allow roots to set, unless advised otherwise. Use a residue-free shampoo diluted with water, gently cleanse the scalp, and thoroughly dry to prevent mildew or unraveling.
We offer micro, medium, and large loc sizes with box, comb, or interlocking parting patterns. Choice depends on hair texture, desired look, and maintenance preference. Your stylist will recommend the best size and pattern during consultation for ideal results.
Initial maintenance is usually recommended every four to eight weeks to tidy roots and control frizz. Frequency varies by hair growth and chosen loc size; smaller locs need more frequent care. We'll outline a personalized maintenance plan.
Yes — we can incorporate extensions for length or volume during the starter process, but added weight may affect roots and maintenance. We’ll assess your hair strength and discuss attachment methods, timing, and care to ensure healthy loc development.
