Get answers to common questions about Retwist Only.

We recommend every 4–6 weeks for most clients to maintain neat roots and prevent matting. Hair texture, new growth rate, and lifestyle may change timing, and your stylist will advise a personalized schedule based on loc size and density.

Retwist Only focuses on root upkeep and typically does not include a full shampoo. If you prefer a cleanse, request a wash as an add-on when booking. Shampooing may change appointment length and price, so please mention it ahead of time.

Yes—Retwist Only corrects mild loosening and fresh new growth at the roots, tightening sections for a neater appearance. Severe separation or structural issues may require a more extensive repair service that your stylist can recommend.

Appointment length varies by loc size, density, and overall length—usually between 30 and 90 minutes. Smaller, finer locs are quicker, while thicker or longer sets take longer. We schedule to ensure careful, unrushed root maintenance.

No—this service concentrates solely on essential root maintenance and won’t change your completed style. If you’d like additional shaping, finishing details, or protective styling, request those add-ons when booking so we can allocate time and pricing.

Aftercare is simple: avoid wetting or heavy manipulation for 24–48 hours, sleep on a satin bonnet or pillowcase, and use light oils sparingly on the scalp. Regular gentle moisturizing and scheduled retouches will keep roots crisp and locs healthy.
