Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Faux Locs.

With good maintenance, Faux Locs usually last six to eight weeks, sometimes longer depending on installation method, hair type, and daily care. Refreshing edges or retouching can extend lifespan; avoid heavy oils and excessive pulling to preserve the style.

When installed properly and worn responsibly, Faux Locs shouldn't cause damage. Proper tension, quality hair, and professional technique minimize strain. Regular scalp care, breaks between installs, and careful removal prevent stress and protect fragile or newly growing hair.

Installation time varies by length, size, and technique, typically taking three to eight hours. Smaller, long locs require more time; book a consultation so we can give a personalized estimate based on your desired look.

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but take precautions: rinse and cleanse hair after chlorinated or salt water, dry thoroughly, and use a swim cap when possible. Secure locs during workouts to reduce friction and tangling.

We use high-quality synthetic and natural hair options, like Kanekalon and premium human hair blends, selected for realistic texture and durability. Your stylist will recommend the best material for longevity, comfort, and desired appearance.

Wash gently every one to two weeks using diluted shampoo, focusing on the scalp, and avoid heavy conditioners on the locs. Dry fully, moisturize the scalp with light oils, and sleep with a satin scarf or pillowcase to prevent frizz.
