Get answers to common questions about Micro Braid Locs with Extension.

Most installations take between 6–10 hours depending on hair density, desired length, and micro loc size. We recommend a full-day appointment; a consultation refines timing based on hair condition and specific styling requests.

Care includes regular scalp cleansing, light moisturizing, and avoiding heavy products that cause buildup. Retightening appointments every 4–8 weeks preserve neatness. Sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet and schedule professional touch-ups as needed.

This technique works well on most textures but requires sufficient hair length and healthy roots for secure braiding. A consultation assesses hair strength, scalp health, and whether additional preparation or treatments are recommended.

With proper care, Micro Braid Locs with Extension can last six months to a year or longer. Longevity depends on growth rate, maintenance frequency, and daily wear; professional upkeep extends the style's life.

You can swim and exercise, but protect locs by wetting and conditioning before exposure, wearing a swim cap when possible, and rinsing plus deep-drying afterward. Chlorine and saltwater need extra care to prevent dryness.

Removal is performed carefully by a professional who unravels braids and removes extensions to minimize breakage. Depending on installation, removal may take several hours; a follow-up trim and conditioning restores hair health.
