Frequently Asked Questions
Loc Maintenance & Scalp Health in Las Vegas
What are the benefits of regular loc retwisting?
​
Regular loc retwisting helps maintain clean parting, supports healthy loc formation, and prevents excessive matting at the root. Consistent retwisting also helps distribute natural oils evenly through the loc, reducing dryness and breakage. In Las Vegas’ dry climate, professional retwisting plays an important role in maintaining scalp balance and long-term loc health.

​

What is the difference between a retwist and interlocking?​
​
A retwist uses product and palm rolling to maintain new growth at the root, while interlocking involves threading the loc through the root to secure new growth. Interlocking is often preferred by clients with active lifestyles or softer textures, while retwisting is commonly chosen for its traditional look and flexibility.
How often should I retwist my locs?​
​
Most clients benefit from retwisting every 4 to 6 weeks, though this can vary based on hair texture, lifestyle, and scalp needs. In Las Vegas, climate and activity level may influence how often loc maintenance is needed. A professional loctician can recommend a schedule that supports healthy growth without causing stress to the hair.
Are micro locs high maintenance?​
​
Micro locs require consistent maintenance, especially during the early stages. While they offer styling versatility and a lightweight feel, regular professional upkeep is important to prevent thinning or tangling at the roots. Maintenance frequency depends on the method used and individual hair characteristics.
Do you work with clients who are active or work out frequently?​
​
Yes. Retwist works with clients who have active lifestyles and need loc maintenance solutions that support durability and scalp health. Maintenance methods and schedules can be adjusted based on activity level, sweat, and hair texture.
Why is professional loc maintenance important?​
​
Professional loc maintenance helps prevent thinning, breakage, uneven loc formation, and scalp issues. A trained loctician understands how to maintain locs while preserving hair density and scalp health, which is especially important for long-term loc retention.
Do you offer consultations before booking a loc service?​
​
Yes. Retwist offers consultations for clients who want guidance before booking loc services. Consultations help ensure the correct service is chosen and allow for a personalized maintenance plan based on individual needs.
