Our rule

Locs are not rushed. We start them right, keep the roots strong and tell you honestly when to leave them alone.

The loc journey

From coils to mature locs

Every head is different. These are the stages most people pass through.

  1. Months 0 to 3

    Starter

    Coils or twists hold their shape. Wash gently and keep the parts clean.

  2. Months 3 to 6

    Budding

    Small knots form inside each loc. A little frizz is normal and good.

  3. Months 6 to 12

    Teen

    Locs puff up and shrink a little. Retwist less, not more.

  4. Year one on

    Mature

    Locs drop and hang. Now they grow in length you can see.

A general guide; every head of hair locks at its own pace.

Questions

How long does my hair need to be?

About 5cm for comb coils, 8cm for twists and 10cm for instant locs.

How often should I retwist?

Every four to eight weeks. More often can thin the roots.

Can I swim or go to the gym?

Yes. Rinse with clean water afterwards and dry the locs fully.
