Interlocking in
Hackney Wick

  Looking for a durable, low-maintenance way to keep your locs neat and strong? At The Loc Pod in Hackney Wick, our interlocking services are designed for long-lasting root care, tailored to clients with active lifestyles, fine hair textures, or those who prefer to space out their retwist appointments. We proudly serve clients across Stratford, Bow, Homerton, and East London with natural, expert loc care in a welcoming, professional environment.

What Is Interlocking?

Interlocking is a professional technique that secures new hair growth by weaving each loc back into itself at the root, creating a clean, uniform look. This method is particularly popular among clients looking to extend the time between maintenance sessions.

✓ Ideal for fine, soft, or loosely curled hair types

some reasons to choose interlocking

 

  • Perfect for active lifestyles – less prone to unraveling during exercise or frequent washing
  • Safe for all hair types, especially fine or loosely coiled textures
  • Gentle on scalps with reduced tension and pulling
  • Long-lasting, typically needing less maintenance than palm rolling or twisting

Our experienced locticians assess your hair and scalp to determine if interlocking is the best solution for your needs.

The Interlocking Process at The Loc Pod

Every appointment includes a thorough consultation, professional care, and natural product use from start to finish:

  1. Consultation & Assessment
    We begin by discussing your hair history, texture, and goals to ensure interlocking is the best approach.

     

  2. Scalp Cleansing
    Your hair is gently washed using salon-grade shampoos, including KeraCare, anti-dandruff, psoriasis care, and colour-protect options, specially chosen for dry, flaky, sensitive scalps or colour-treated locs.
    We now also offer a revitalising Moisture Recovery & Herbal Aloe Vera Detox Treatment – perfect for deeply cleansing the scalp, removing buildup, and restoring hydration before your interlocking session.

     

  3. Precision Interlocking
    Using a specialist tool, your loctician threads each loc through the root base, creating secure, long-lasting hold without tension or damage.

     

  4. Finishing & Styling (Optional)
    Protective styles like buns or updos can be added to help maintain your new look.

     

  5. Aftercare Support
    You’ll receive personalised guidance on maintaining your style, along with access to our Aftercare Kit, Scalp Treatment, and Loc Maintenance Magazine.
