Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Retwist.
Most clients return every 4–6 weeks for a standard retwist; thicker or slower-growing hair may extend to 6–8 weeks. Regular scheduling prevents excessive root buildup, keeps locs tidy, and reduces the risk of matting or uneven locking.
A professional retwist, performed correctly, won’t damage established locs or significantly shorten length. Excessive tension or overly frequent retwists can stress roots, so we use gentle techniques and tailored intervals to preserve strength and prevent breakage.
Expect a brief consultation, optional cleansing, careful sectioning, and root twisting or palm-rolling for each loc. We finish with light moisturizing and styling advice. Appointments include professional care tailored to your hair texture for neat, comfortable, lasting results.
Service time depends on loc size, count, and condition. Most retwists take between 60 and 180 minutes. We recommend booking sufficient time for thorough work; larger or thicker locs naturally require longer appointments for careful, quality maintenance.
We recommend waiting 24–48 hours before washing to allow roots to settle. When you do wash, use a sulfate-free shampoo with gentle pressure, avoid vigorous scrubbing, and dry thoroughly to prevent mildew and preserve the retwist.
Use residue-free shampoos, light natural oils for scalp moisture, and minimal water-based locking gels when needed. Avoid heavy waxes or petroleum products that cause buildup. Protect your locs at night with a satin scarf or pillowcase for lasting neatness.
