A full Starter Wicks appointment usually takes 3 to 6 hours depending on wick size, hair length, and density. Consultations help estimate time precisely; experienced stylists work methodically to ensure secure, healthy construction without rushing the meticulous sectioning process.
When performed correctly, Starter Wicks prioritize hair strength and scalp health. Proper sectioning, tension control, and aftercare minimize breakage. Regular maintenance appointments and gentle cleansing/moisturizing routines are essential to prevent stress and maintain healthy loc development.
