Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Crochet and Retwist Maintenance (Hourly Rate $150).

Appointments are hourly at $150. Most clients average about three hours for full crochet and retwist maintenance; however, dense or very long locs may require additional time. Your stylist will estimate total duration after assessment before beginning work.

This service is best for established locs with enough maturity to withstand retwisting and crocheting. For very new starter locs we recommend waiting until roots are set to avoid loosening or undue tension.

Arrive with dry, clean hair free of heavy oils or buildup. Avoid fresh chemical treatments; lightly moisturize if needed. Bring pictures or style requests so your stylist can match desired tension and finished look.

Maintenance frequency varies by hair texture and lifestyle. Many clients book every four to eight weeks for optimal definition and control, while others prefer longer intervals depending on growth rate and personal preference.

When performed by trained stylists using proper tension and technique, crochet and retwist maintenance is safe. We prioritize minimizing stress, and we’ll adjust methods for fragile areas. Excessive force or incorrect tools can cause damage, which we avoid.

Your appointment includes a careful assessment, targeted crocheting to pull loose hair back, followed by a precise retwist for uniform roots. We finish with styling and product recommendations for aftercare to sustain results between visits.
