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:
- Consultation & Assessment
We begin by discussing your hair history, texture, and goals to ensure interlocking is the best approach. - 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. - Precision Interlocking
Using a specialist tool, your loctician threads each loc through the root base, creating secure, long-lasting hold without tension or damage. - Finishing & Styling (Optional)
Protective styles like buns or updos can be added to help maintain your new look. - Aftercare Support
You’ll receive personalised guidance on maintaining your style, along with access to our Aftercare Kit, Scalp Treatment, and Loc Maintenance Magazine.
