What is included in a loc retwist
Our Loc Retwist & Style starts at $125 and takes about 2 hours:
- Steam shampoo and conditioning to clean your scalp and soften new growth.
- Palm-roll retwist to bring new growth into each loc.
- Styling while we retwist, so you leave with a finished look.
- Dryer time, so your locs go home dry.
Retwist or interlocking?
A retwist uses the palm-roll method and a light product to twist new growth into the loc. It looks soft and natural, and is gentle on the root.
Interlocking pulls the end of the loc through the root to lock new growth in place. It holds longer between visits and is good for active lifestyles or people who swim often. Our Traditional Loc Interlocking starts at $160 (about 3 hours 45 minutes).
