Get answers to common questions about Retwist and Style.

Most clients return every four to eight weeks depending on growth rate, texture, and desired neatening. Newer locs or faster growth may require more frequent visits. We'll assess your hair and recommend a personalized schedule during your appointment.

When performed by experienced stylists using gentle tension and proper products, retwists do not harm locs. Over-manipulation or excessive tightening can cause stress. We use safe techniques to preserve hair integrity and recommend appropriate intervals to minimize any long-term strain.

Retwisting reshapes and smooths locs but shouldn't change thickness. Styling can create the perception of volume or sleekness depending on techniques used. Discuss your desired appearance with your stylist so we can tailor the retwist tension and finishing style to match your look.

We advise waiting twenty-four to forty-eight hours before washing to allow the retwist to set and reduce unraveling. Use sulfate-free, gentle cleansers and lukewarm water when washing. Ask your stylist for personalized aftercare tips and product recommendations.

Arrive with clean, dry hair unless instructed otherwise; detangle gently and avoid heavy oils. Bring inspiration photos and any preferred accessories. Communicate your maintenance routine and style goals so the stylist can customize tension, products, and finishing techniques for best results.

Yes - we can include extensions for added length or volume, but it may change timing and pricing. Extensions require specific techniques to secure and blend with natural locs. Discuss your preferences during booking so we can allocate time and recommend suitable extensions.
