Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Retightening.
Most clients return every 4-6 weeks for optimal Retightening, though hair growth rate, scalp sensitivity, and desired neatness can shift timing. We assess your Sisterlocks and recommend a personalized interval to maintain health while preventing excess tension or buildup.
When performed by trained stylists using gentle techniques, Retightening preserves lock integrity and growth. Excessive tension, overly tight sessions, or improper methods can cause thinning; we prioritize safe tension, root spacing, and protective care to prevent long-term damage.
Appointment length varies by number of locs, hair density, and maintenance needs. Most retightening sessions last 60-120 minutes. New clients or heavy growth may take longer; we provide time estimates when booking to ensure a relaxed, unrushed service.
We recommend washing and clarifying 24-48 hours before your Retightening to remove buildup. Avoid heavy oils right beforehand. Afterward, wait 48-72 hours before deep washing to allow roots to settle; follow our aftercare instructions for best results.
Aftercare includes sleeping on a silk scarf or pillowcase, avoiding tight hairstyles, minimizing manipulation for 48-72 hours, using lightweight, residue-free products, and moisturizing your scalp as recommended. Follow our tailored plan and book follow-up appointments to maintain lock health.
Yes, depending on schedule and complexity we can combine retightening with minor maintenance, parting adjustments, or light repair. More extensive services like full re-twist, installs, or styling may need separate appointments. We'll advise on timing when you book.
