Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Every 4-6 weeks is ideal to maintain loc health and structure. Frequency depends on hair type and personal preference.
Most retwist sessions last between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on loc length, size, and styling choice.
Never. All products used at The Loc Pod are 100% natural and handmade in Hackney, formulated for sensitive skin and scalps.
Yes — but with a big “it depends.”
If you’ve just had a retwist, washing too soon can cause your new parts to loosen, frizz up, or unravel (especially with palm-rolled or comb-coiled styles).
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Palm roll / comb coil retwist: Wait 2–3 weeks before washing so the style holds.
Retwist + style (e.g., barrels, two-strands): You can usually wait longer since the style protects your roots, but still aim for 2–4 weeks.
Yes! We offer protective styling options (e.g., off white two strands, two strand twists, space buns, barrels etc) for an additional fee.
