Starter Locs Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about starting, maintaining, and caring for your starter locs.

Starter locs are the initial foundation of locked hair, formed using techniques like two-strand twists, coils, or crochet. They allow hair to mat and grow into mature locs. Our stylists customize size and method to match your texture and desired look.

We assess hair density, texture, and lifestyle before recommending a method. Crochet instant starters suit thin to medium hair; coils or two-strand twists work well for thicker textures. Consultation ensures the technique aligns with your goals and maintenance preferences.

Time varies by method, hair length, and size. Crochet instant starters can take 2–4 hours; coils or two-strand twists often require 3–6 hours. Repairs and inter-loc starters may be shorter. Your stylist will provide an accurate time estimate at consultation.

Maintain a gentle washing schedule with residue-free cleansers, avoid heavy products, and sleep with a silk scarf. Separate new locs periodically and follow retouch recommendations. We provide a personalized aftercare plan to help your locs mature healthy and strong.

We generally recommend waiting until starter locs have settled — typically several months — before chemical coloring or heat styling. Gentle, temporary styling is fine. During consultation we advise safe timing and methods to protect growth and minimize damage.

Yes — our repair services address weak, unraveling, or uneven starter locs. We strengthen roots, redo sections, and reintegrate loose hair using techniques that preserve length. Book an assessment so our stylists can recommend targeted repairs and a maintenance plan.
