Frequently Asked Questions

How many microlocs will I have?

The number of locs varies from person to person. Hair density, length, texture, and your desired loc size all influence the final count. A consultation is the best way to determine what will work for your hair.

Do I need a consultation before my installation?

Yes. An in-person consultation is required for installations so your hair can be assessed for length, density, texture, and overall condition.

Will my microlocs unravel or slip?

Some slippage is normal, particularly during the early stages. Factors such as hair texture, washing, sweating, manipulation, and how mature your locs are can affect slippage. Proper aftercare and regular maintenance help minimize it.

Can I style microlocs?

Absolutely! One of the benefits of microlocs is their versatility. As your locs mature, you can experiment with styles such as twists, curls, updos, buns, and other protective styles.

Can I color my microlocs?

Microlocs can be colored, but it is important to consider the potential effects of chemical processing on your hair and locs. Color services should be approached carefully, especially with newer or fragile locs.

Can I start microlocs if my hair is relaxed or chemically treated?

It depends on the condition and amount of chemically processed hair remaining. A consultation is recommended to determine whether your hair is suitable for installation and which method may be best.

How long will it take them to mature?

It can take 12–18 months for locs to fully mature, although the timeline varies from person to person.
