Best Locs Hair Styling near me in Shinfield South, Reading

Locs typically need retwisting or maintenance every 4–8 weeks to keep the roots neat and prevent matting between sections. Regular scalp care and moisturising between appointments keeps locs and scalp healthy.

Initially locs should be washed once every 1-2 weeks; any more than that could make your scalp dry and itchy. Mature locs can be washed, conditioned and moisturised regularly to help maintain hair health and prevent drying and breakage. You should moisturise your scalp, too (preferably with a natural, plant-based oil). And dry your locs thoroughly after washing, by squeezing out excess water section by section and wrapping them in a microfibre towel to dry. Avoid blow-drying your locks, which could damage your hair.

Locs (or dreadlocks) are a hairstyle where hair is intentionally matted or coiled into rope-like sections. A specialist loctician can start new locs, maintain and retwist existing locs, style locs for events, and provide treatments to keep the scalp and locs healthy.
