Installation time varies by hair length, thickness, and desired size, typically taking between three to six hours. Your stylist will assess hair and offer accurate timing during consultation; more intricate parting or longer lengths may require additional time.

Wash every one to two weeks with a gentle, residue-free shampoo and dilute it before applying. Gently cleanse the scalp, avoid vigorous rubbing, and thoroughly dry to prevent mildew. Use light oils and avoid heavy creams to preserve the soft loc texture.

Yes — soft locs accept accessories like beads, cuffs, and wraps, and can be colored with caution. We recommend professional coloring to protect integrity; consult your stylist to choose safe products and timing to minimize damage to the extensions and natural hair.

Longevity depends on care and hair growth; soft locs generally last 6–10 weeks before maintenance. Some clients stretch to longer intervals with gentle care. We recommend regular checkups for tightening and trims to maintain neatness and prevent slippage.
