With proper installation and care, Faux Locs can last four to twelve weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance routine, and installation method. Gentle cleansing, scalp care, and protective night routines help extend wear and keep locs neat.

When installed correctly and not overly tight, Faux Locs are safe and generally non-damaging. Tension, prolonged weight, or neglect can cause breakage. We assess hair health, recommend proper sizing, and advise maintenance to protect your natural hair and scalp.

Yes — you can wash and condition with Faux Locs installed, but use diluted shampoo and focus on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent mildew. Avoid heavy conditioners on the locs themselves to reduce buildup and preserve texture.

Absolutely — Faux Locs are highly customizable. Choose lengths, thicknesses, and colors, including natural shades or bold accents. We also add accessories like beads or wraps. Schedule a consultation so we can match color, length, and style to your preferences.

Installation time varies by size, density, and desired length — typically three to eight hours for a full head. Smaller, more intricate locs take longer. We provide time estimates during booking and recommend scheduling accordingly for comfort and best results.

Maintain Faux Locs by gently cleansing the scalp weekly or biweekly, applying light oils to prevent dryness, and protecting hair at night with a satin scarf. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup and book touch-up appointments for loose or new growth maintenance.
