What to Know Before You Go
Locs are a long-term commitment. A good loc specialist will talk you through the timeline—how long to mature, how often to schedule maintenance, and what aftercare looks like. Ask about their technique and experience. Some use the interlocking method, others two-strand twists or freeform locs; a specialist will explain the difference and help you pick what works for your hair texture and lifestyle.
Budget time for the initial install. First locs can take several hours depending on the method and your hair length. After that, maintenance appointments (retwisting, palm rolling, crocheting) typically come every 4–8 weeks.
