Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Royal Loc Wash.

Frequency depends on scalp oiliness, activity level, and loc maturity. Generally, schedule every 2–6 weeks for maintenance, or monthly for mature locs. We recommend personalized consultation so a stylist can recommend ideal intervals based on your hair, scalp, and styling routine.

No — our gentle, sulfate-free formulas and expert techniques are designed to cleanse without stripping color or weakening loc structure. We use hydrating botanicals and low-tension handling to protect integrity. Always mention color treatments so we can tailor products appropriately.

Appointments usually last 45–90 minutes depending on loc length, thickness, and scalp condition. A full luxury wash with massage and treatment takes longer; please book enough time for consultation and any add-on services like conditioning or retwist.

Yes — in most cases we can retwist after the wash, since clean locs are easier to manage. Allow extra appointment time and inform us when booking. Some clients prefer separate sessions if extensive styling or drying time is required.

We use salon-grade, sulfate-free clarifying shampoos, balancing scalp cleansers, lightweight conditioners, and nourishing botanical oils. Products are selected for loc safety, color retention and scalp health; tell us about sensitivities and we’ll adjust to fragrance-free or hypoallergenic alternatives.

Pat dry gently, avoid high heat, and apply recommended lightweight oil or moisturizer to seal hydration. Sleep on satin, avoid heavy buildup, and follow stylist’s advice on retwist timing. Schedule follow-up maintenance to keep locs healthy and clean.
