Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dreadlock Retwist.

We recommend retwists every 4–6 weeks for most clients. Tighter textures or specific styles may allow longer intervals up to eight weeks. Frequency depends on hair texture, new growth rate, and your preferred level of neatness.

When performed professionally with gentle technique, retwists won't damage locs. Aggressive twisting or excessive tension can cause breakage. Our stylists use careful methods, light tension, and quality products to refresh locs safely.

Service time varies based on loc thickness, number, and whether washing or styling is included. Most retwists range from about 60 to 180 minutes. Your consultation will provide an accurate estimate for your session.

Yes — clean hair makes retwists easier. Wash 24–48 hours before your appointment and avoid heavy conditioners. If you prefer, we can wash and prep your locs professionally as part of the service.

To preserve your retwist, avoid heavy oils and creams, sleep on a satin pillowcase or bonnet, use light moisturizing sprays, and limit manipulation. Wait 4–6 weeks before the next retwist unless your stylist advises otherwise.

Yes. Retwists specifically target new growth and loose hairs. Our stylists use techniques like palm-rolling, interlocking, or comb-twisting depending on loc maturity to neatly integrate growth without excess tension.
