Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Butterfly Locs 🦋.

With proper care, Butterfly Locs typically last six to ten weeks before needing a touch-up. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, styling habits, and maintenance routines like gentle cleansing and nightly protection.

When installed by our trained stylists using gentle tension and braid-friendly methods, Butterfly Locs preserve hair health. Avoid excessive weight, tight parts, or long-term neglect to minimize breakage and maintain healthy edges.

Yes — you can exercise and swim, but protect your style. Rinse with fresh water after chlorinated or saltwater exposure, tie hair up for workouts, and apply lightweight leave-in conditioner to prevent dryness.

We include a full-head wash during installation for a fresh start. After that, wait 48–72 hours before fully wetting, then cleanse gently every one to three weeks depending on activity level.

Butterfly Locs adapt well to most textures; fine, medium, and coarser hair can all wear this style. Length and density influence final volume, so a consultation ensures the look matches your hair's needs.

Maintenance varies; many clients book refreshes every six to eight weeks for tightened parts and loose locs. We offer tailored touch-ups and advice on at-home upkeep to extend wear and keep styles looking fresh.
