How long does my hair have to be to start dreds?
We recommend at least
two inches of growth, may vary depending on your hair texture.
If I have a relaxer/ texturizer can I get comb/coiled twist?
Usually
no, because the natural (unrelaxed) coils in the hair enable the hair to twist. Because relaxers loosen the natural
coil, it prevents the hairs' ability to twist. However, the new growth can be twisted.
What's the difference between dreds & comb/coiled twists?
Twist
are the first step in the dreadlock process. If you are NOT locking, twists are combed out before returning to redo the style.
Can I get twists if
my hair is long (over 4 inches)?
Yes
How long is the locking process?
Progressively- from one month to a year.
How long does it take to twist?
An average of
one to three hours, depending on the length and thickness of the hair.
How often do I have to get hair maintained?
Approximately every
three to four weeks, depending on the style and texture of hair.
After wearing locs for several years, can they be combed out?
In
some instances yes. However, it is not recommended. An alternative suggestion is to cut them to a more manageable length or
grow out new growthto a desired length and then, cut locs out.
Do
you offer combing out locs as a service?
No.
Can I swim with a twist?
With some styles and textures, yes, although it is only recommend
with a swim cap.
How
long does it take to grow out of a relaxer?
Three to six months to establish enough new growth for most of the natural hairstyles.
However, there are styles we can do with your hair, while growing out & gradually cutting off the relaxer.
How long do twists and other styles last?
Beacause of the products and techniques we use most styles last 3-4
weeks. However, we can only speak for ourselves,
What products do you use?
We use several top name brand (i.e. Design Essentials,
etc.) product
lines, including our own. But ultimately, it depends on the service,
hair type and hair condition.
