Get answers to common questions about Loc Detox.

We typically recommend a Loc Detox every 6–12 weeks based on product use, activity level, and scalp oiliness. Swimmers or heavy product users may need more frequent cleansing. Your stylist will assess your locs and recommend a personalized schedule.

Loc Detox focuses on buildup removal and generally won't strip professionally applied color. However, very fresh or delicate dyes could be affected by strong baking-soda mixes. Always disclose recent coloring so we can choose a gentler method.

ACV rinses are gentler and help restore pH and shine, while baking soda is stronger for heavy mineral or product buildup. We'll evaluate your locs and scalp to select the safest, most effective option before detox shampooing.

Most Loc Detox appointments last about 60–90 minutes depending on loc length, thickness, and buildup severity. We allow time for thorough rinsing, detox shampoo, and conditioning to ensure effective plus gentle cleansing.

When performed correctly, a Loc Detox won't damage locs. We balance clarifying agents with conditioning and moisturizing steps to prevent dryness. You may feel temporary tightness that resolves after conditioning and follow-up care.

Yes — you can often combine a Loc Detox with retightening, deep conditioning, or styling, though we may space services to protect freshly cleansed locs. Book a consultation so we can plan timing and pricing.
