Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Faux Locs.

Faux Locs usually last 6–8 weeks depending on maintenance, hair growth, and installation method. Touch-ups at the roots or a brief reseat can extend wear. Proper cleansing, moisturizing, and sleep protection help preserve appearance and prolong the style.

When installed correctly and not overly tight, Faux Locs are a protective style that minimizes manipulation. However, excessive tension, long-term wear without breaks, or poor maintenance can cause stress. Consult your stylist for proper sizing and aftercare to protect your hair and scalp.

Pricing varies by length, thickness, and stylist experience. Expect appointments to run 3–6 hours depending on size and complexity. We provide consultations to assess desired size and length, give an accurate quote, and schedule the appropriate time for a quality install.

Yes — you can wash faux locs gently using dilute shampoo and focus on the scalp. Pat dry and air dry thoroughly to avoid mildew. Use lightweight oils to condition the scalp and avoid heavy products that cause buildup or loosen the locs.

Faux Locs work well on most hair textures, especially medium to coarse natural hair. Fine hair can be done with proper sizing and added anchoring. We recommend clean, detangled hair and a consultation to determine the best prep and base braid pattern.

Removal should be gentle and patient. Unravel or cut extension hair carefully, loosen braids at the base, and detangle with conditioner or detangling spray. Schedule a salon removal to preserve length and minimize breakage; follow with a deep conditioning treatment.
