Microloc Braids with Extension on soft hair. Installed by Twyla at Styles by T LLC.
Microlocs are a long-term commitment that require consistency, proper maintenance, and professional care.
The following information outlines what is required when starting and maintaining microlocs with Styles by T LLC.
• Soft hair textures: slippage and unraveling may occur during the early stages
• Curly hair textures: frizz is common and part of the locking process
• Coarse hair textures: shrinkage and frizz are normal
• Straighter hair textures: higher likelihood of slippage and unraveling
Early-stage frizz, swelling, and pattern visibility are expected as locs mature.
• Maintenance is typically recommended every 4–6 weeks
• Some clients may extend to 8 weeks depending on growth rate
• Clients who exceed the recommended maintenance window may not be eligible for standard retie services and may require repairs or a new consultation.
• Excessive delays between appointments can lead to matting, thinning, or costly repairs
• Consistency is essential for uniform growth and long-term scalp health
Remaining with one loctician is strongly recommended to maintain consistency in size, parting, and technique.
• Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled before leaving your current visit
• Irregular maintenance can result in loc damage that may require repair services
• Avoid excessive wetting, especially with extensions during early stages
• Braid and band before washing
• Allow hair to dry completely before removing braids
• Use heat protectant if blow drying
• Sleep with a satin bonnet or pillowcase
• Avoid heavy creams and conditioners that may cause buildup or slippage
Install Time
• Twist Method: approximately 1 full service day
• Braid Method: typically 2 consecutive service days
Hair Provided
• 100% unprocessed human hair (10–14 inches) based on availability
• Custom lengths and colors may be available at additional cost
• Extensions blend and mature into permanent locs
• Pattern visibility fades as locs mature (braids take longer)
• Swelling, shrinkage, and frizz are normal parts of the process
Extensions require consistent maintenance. Without proper upkeep, extensions may loosen or fall out and will require additional services to correct.
• Coarse hair: Twist method often recommended
• Soft or fine hair: Braid method may reduce slippage, especially on shorter lengths
• Frizz is normal and part of the locking process
• Slippage may occur in short, soft, or frequently wet hair
• Roots are interlocked for durability and structure
• Light aloe-based loc spray for moisture
• Lightweight oil to seal moisture
• Water mist bottle before oil application
• Rosemary oil (growth support)
• Peppermint oil (scalp stimulation)
• Tea tree oil (dry or itchy scalp)
• Lightweight shine sprays formulated for locs
Using lightweight, loc friendly products is recommended to prevent buildup, slippage, and scalp issues,
Products can be found at beauty supply stores, select retailers, or online marketplaces.
