Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Butterfly Locs.

Installation time varies by hair length, loc size, and stylist speed; expect three to eight hours for a full set. We schedule accordingly and provide estimates during consultation to ensure comfortable timing and break options.

When installed correctly with appropriate tension and lightweight hair, Butterfly Locs are gentle. Regular moisturizing, scalp care, and proper removal minimize breakage. Our stylists assess hair health and recommend sizes and methods to protect your natural hair.

Butterfly Locs can last four to ten weeks depending on growth, lifestyle, and care. Light touch-ups at the edges extend wear. We provide maintenance guidance and recommend follow-up appointments to keep your style fresh and healthy.

You can swim and exercise, but take precautions: wear a swim cap, rinse and cleanse promptly after chlorinated or saltwater exposure, and moisturize. Excessive friction or prolonged wetness can shorten lifespan—follow aftercare to maintain longevity.

Butterfly Locs suit most hair textures, from fine to coarse. They are especially flattering for textured and natural hair because the technique blends synthetic hair with your own, creating volume and grip. Consultation helps customize size and tension for hair health.

Arrive with clean, detangled, and moisturized hair. Avoid heavy oils or products that can make hair slippery. Bring reference photos for length and size preferences. If you have chemical treatments or scalp concerns, mention them during booking for proper care.
