The Foundation Matters
Why Choose Professional Installation?
It is entirely possible to start locs at home, but a professional loc installation provides a critical advantage: an analytically designed foundation. Every head of hair has varying densities, curl patterns, and problem areas (like thin edges or a sensitive crown).
A master loctician takes all of these variables into account before making the very first part. The grid we create during your establishment dictates how your locs will fall, how beautifully they can be styled, and most importantly, how healthy the roots will remain as the locs gain weight over the years.
Trying to course-correct a poorly parted grid a year into your journey is extremely difficult and often requires cutting the locs or painful restructuring. By investing in an expert installation in Inglewood, you are securing peace of mind and guaranteeing that your locs will mature effortlessly to their full, stunning potential.
Tailored for You
We factor in your lifestyle, workout habits, and styling preferences to choose the best sizing and installation method—be it interlocking, two-strand twists, or coils.
The Big Day
What to Expect During Establishment
The establishment day (or days, depending on the loc size) is an exciting milestone. For Microlocs and Sisterlocks, the process can take anywhere from 15 to 40 hours spread across multiple days. For traditional locs, it typically only takes a few hours.
Before you sit in the chair, your hair must be deeply cleansed, free of all oils, conditioners, to ensure the hair fibers can grip properly during installation. The session begins with establishing an intentional, immaculate grid at the base of the neck, working methodically up to the crown.
We prioritize your comfort throughout the establishment. We take breaks to stretch, hydrate, and relax. While it is a lengthy commitment, witnessing the transformation in the mirror is an unforgettable experience. This is the last time you will ever have to worry about detangling your loose natural hair.
Installation Deposit
Due to the immense time blocked out for new installations, a non-refundable $200 deposit is required. This guarantees your multi-day session without any scheduling interruptions.
Navigating the Stages
Your Post-Install Timeline
Installation is only the beginning. Understanding the timeline of your new locs will help you navigate the beautiful changes ahead.
The Starter Phase (Weeks 1-4)
Your locs will look very neat, much like small twists or coils. During this phase, keeping water exposure limited and practicing low-manipulation styling is critical.
The First Retie (4 Weeks)
Your very first retightening session is vital. We will check each loc to ensure there is no slippage or unraveling, reinforcing the roots based on your month's natural growth.
Budding to Maturation
Between months 3 and 12, your locs will begin to swell, frizz, and eventually compress into mature locs. This is the most transformative part of the beautiful journey.
