Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Faux Locs.

Faux Locs typically last four to eight weeks depending on installation method, hair growth, and care. Regular root touch-ups can extend wear, but full removal after about two months is recommended to prevent tension and protect natural hair health.

When installed correctly and with appropriate tension, faux locs minimize damage. Avoid overly tight braiding, moisturize the scalp, and remove styles within recommended timeframes. Our stylists use protective techniques to lessen stress and preserve hair integrity throughout wear.

Faux locs are designed to be lightweight compared to traditional locs. Using lighter synthetic fibers reduces pulling and scalp strain. You may feel slight weight initially, but most clients find them comfortable after adjustment and daily wear becomes effortless.

Yes, you can swim and exercise with faux locs, but take precautions. Rinse and thoroughly dry hair after swimming, wear a swim cap, and use lightweight moisturizing sprays to prevent buildup. Intense activity may require extra maintenance to avoid frizz.

Keep faux locs fresh by moisturizing the scalp, using residue-free cleansers, and wrapping hair at night. Avoid heavy oils that cause buildup, refresh parts with a light mist, and schedule professional adjustments to tame frizz and maintain neatness.

Yes, often you can install faux locs over chemically treated hair if the hair is healthy. We assess elasticity and strength first; damaged or overly fragile hair may need strengthening treatments or a gentler approach to prevent breakage during installation.
