This consultation is designed for clients receiving interlock, microloc, Sisterlock, or crochet-based care. It allows for assessment of loc size, density, technique compatibility, and overall system health before maintenance is performed.

This consultation is recommended for:

• New or transfer clients

• Clients unsure which Advanced Care service applies to their loc system

• Clients considering a change in maintenance method

Tools used during consultation may include:

• Visual and tactile assessment tools

• Grid and part analysis

• Technique compatibility evaluation

This service does not include shampooing or maintenance.

Traditional Interlock Care maintains locs by tightening new growth using a structured rotation pattern. This method provides longer-lasting results than palm rolling and is ideal for clients who prefer extended time between care appointments.

Shampoo is included to cleanse the scalp and prepare the hair for precise interlocking.

Tools and products used during this service include:

• Interlock tool (enterloc tool) designed for controlled, scalp-safe rotations

• Scalp-safe interlocking tools appropriate for traditional loc diameter

• Scalp-safe parting tools to maintain clean sections and protect the scalp

• Leave-in conditioner to support moisture and flexibility

• Root-smoothing product used to prevent cross-hairs and root tangling

• Hair ties and sectioning clips to secure hair and maintain clean working areas

Includes a selection of basic loc styles, such as:

• Rope twists

• Barrel-style sets

• Basic pinned or wrapped styles

Style selection is based on hair length, density, and service scope.

This service is designed for microloc and Sisterlock systems, which require advanced precision due to loc size, density, and grid structure.

A client falls into the microloc category when:

• Full-head loc count exceeds 130 locs

• Partial or half-head systems exceed 100 locs

Interlocking at this scale requires meticulous rotation control to prevent thinning, holes, or grid disruption.

Shampoo is included to ensure the scalp and roots are properly cleansed before tightening.

Tools and products used during this service include:

• Fine-gauge interlock (enterloc) tools selected for microloc and Sisterlock size

• Scalp-safe interlocking tools appropriate for high-density systems

• Scalp-safe parting and grid-control tools to preserve system integrity

• Leave-in conditioner to maintain moisture without buildup

• Root-smoothing product to control cross-hairs and prevent loc bridging

• Hair ties and precision clips to secure sections during detailed work

Includes a selection of basic loc styles, such as:

• Rope twists

• Barrel-style sets

• Basic pinned or wrapped styles

Style selection is based on hair length, density, and service scope.

Crochet loc care reinforces locs by drawing loose hairs into the loc shaft using crochet hooks. This method alters the internal structure of the loc and requires compatibility assessment.

Tools commonly used:

• Crochet hooks (various micron sizes)

• Loc reinforcement tools

• Sectioning clips

Includes a selection of basic loc styles, such as:

• Rope twists

• Barrel-style sets

• Basic pinned or wrapped styles

Style selection is based on hair length, density, and service scope.

This service provides routine care through palm rolling/retwisting for microlocs and Sisterlocs. It is intended for clients who maintain their systems through retwisting rather than interlocking.

Shampoo is included to cleanse the scalp and prepare the hair for care.

Includes a selection of basic loc styles, such as:

• Rope twists

• Barrel-style sets

• Basic pinned or wrapped styles

This service does not include interlocking or crochet.
Best suited for microloc or Sisterloc systems maintained through retwisting.

This service provides early-stage care for newly installed microlocs and Sisterlocks. Starter systems require reinforcement and guidance rather than tightening, as locs are still forming, settling, and establishing their pattern.

This service focuses on:

• Supporting loc formation during the budding phase

• Reducing slippage and unraveling

• Preserving parting and grid integrity

Shampoo is included to cleanse the scalp and prepare the hair for care.

Includes a selection of basic loc styles, such as:

• Rope twists

• Barrel-style sets

• Basic pinned or wrapped styles

This service is for starter microloc or Sisterlock systems only.
Advanced tightening methods may be limited or deferred to protect developing locs.
Excessive manipulation or restructuring is not performed during this stage.

This service provides routine care using the crochet method to reinforce loc structure, reduce frizz, and maintain a clean, compact appearance. Crochet care works by drawing loose hairs into the loc shaft, strengthening the loc internally rather than tightening at the root.

This method is best suited for:

• Loc systems already maintained with crochet

• Clients whose locs benefit from internal reinforcement

• Clients seeking a neater appearance with minimal root manipulation

Shampoo is included to cleanse the scalp and prepare the hair for care.

This service is not interchangeable with interlocking or palm rolling.
Crochet care is not appropriate for all loc systems and may require consultation prior to booking.
Excessive crochet or improper technique can cause internal damage; care is performed conservatively and intentionally.
