Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Distress Lock.
Installation time depends on length, density, and size preference but generally ranges from three to six hours. We assess hair beforehand and schedule accordingly; bring snacks and comfortable clothing for longer sessions.
Yes. Wash gently every one to two weeks using diluted shampoo and focus on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly, avoid heavy conditioners that loosen texture, and dry completely to prevent mildew.
When installed and removed by professionals with safe tension, Distress Locks are protective. Regular maintenance, gentle handling, and rest periods help prevent stress on edges and preserve hair health.
Most clients enjoy the distressed aesthetic for six to eight weeks before a refresh. Hair growth, care routine, and activity level influence longevity; we offer maintenance appointments to extend the style.
Yes, with precautions. Wear a swim cap in chlorinated pools, rinse hair after swimming, and dry thoroughly. For heavy exercise, cleanse the scalp more often to prevent buildup and frizz.
Absolutely. The matte, bohemian texture works well with wraps, beads, scarves, and updos. Lightweight adjustments and part changes create varied looks without adding harmful tension.
