There is no specific timeline for the full maturation of your microlocs. On average, it can take approximately 6 months to 1 year, but it is possible for the process to extend up to 2-3 years. The length and texture of your hair are significant factors influencing the duration of your micro locs' maturation.

Yes, micro locs are generally considered a permanent hairstyle, though they can be removed if desired. They are intended to be a long-term, often lifetime, commitment. While removal is possible, most people choose to cut them rather than comb them out, as the comb-out process can be extremely time-consuming and may take several months to complete.

Begin your journey by booking your consultation. The consultation fee must be paid in full to confirm your appointment. Once your booking is complete, contact your loctician, who will provide a detailed overview of what to expect and how to prepare for your visit.

The installation time for micro locs varies for each client. While the exact duration can’t be determined in advance, a close estimate will be provided during your consultation. Several factors influence the total time — including your hair’s length, density, and the size of your head — all of which are assessed to ensure a precise and comfortable installation experience.

One of the most significant benefits of micro locs is the maintenance schedule. After the initial investment in time and money, your salon visits are reduced to every 6–8 weeks for re-tightening. The ease of maintenance means micro-locs can seamlessly fit into a busy lifestyle, offering beauty without the burden.

If you have fine, low-density hair, you should re-tighten your micro locs every 4 weeks or less. And for others, 6-8 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate. Your loctician will let you know your retie schedule more than likely after your first re-tightening session, scheduled 6 weeks after your installation.

Compared to traditional dreadlocks, micro locs are significantly smaller, with a typical diameter ranging between 6-9mm, and new growth is usually maintained by interlocking. Traditional dreadlocks are usually 10mm or larger in thickness, and new growth is usually maintained by palm rolling (though they can be interlocked); essentially, micro locs are a smaller version of a traditional loc style.

A loctician is someone knowledgeable about the loc process, as you may be new to this and have many questions. This person should be trusting and trustworthy as they are your guide during your loc journey and are highly relied upon to help you keep up with the maintenance and care of your hair.

Yes, you can style microlocs in a variety of ways. They can add texture and intricacy to many hairstyles you already wear.
