Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between starter locs and mature locs?
Starter locs are newly installed locs that have not yet fully locked — they can unravel easily and require careful maintenance. Mature locs (typically after 12–18 months) are fully locked and more durable. Different stages require different techniques, products, and maintenance intervals.
How long does loc installation take in Charlotte?
Loc installation times vary widely: sisterlocks can take 12–24+ hours spread across multiple sessions, while two-strand twist installations for medium-length hair typically take 4–8 hours. Your stylist will give you an estimate based on your hair length, density, and the style you choose.
How often should I get my locs retwisted or maintained?
Most loc clients in Charlotte schedule maintenance every 4–8 weeks depending on their growth rate and loc style. Sisterlocks require more frequent retightening (every 4–6 weeks), while traditional locs can often go 6–8 weeks between appointments.
Do loc stylists in Charlotte specialise in specific loc types?
Yes — some stylists focus exclusively on sisterlocks, others on traditional or freeform locs. It's important to choose a stylist who is experienced with your specific loc type and stage. hairpair lets you filter by loc specialty so you're matched with the right person from the start.
