Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Faux Locs.

Faux Locs can last 6–8 weeks with proper care; some clients extend wear to 10–12 weeks. Regular scalp cleansing, edge maintenance, and avoiding heavy oils will keep the style neat. Schedule a touch-up if locs loosen or new growth becomes noticeable.

When installed correctly and fitted to your hair's strength, faux locs are a protective style that minimizes manipulation. However, excessive tension, heavy extensions, or prolonged wear without breaks can stress roots. Regular assessments and proper technique prevent damage and encourage healthy growth.

Pricing depends on length, density, and hair choices. At Milona, costs vary by customization and time required; we provide precise estimates during consultations. Contact us or book a consultation to receive an accurate quote based on your desired length, color, and loc size.

Use diluted shampoo, focus on scalp, rinse gently, towel-dry, and avoid heavy conditioners that cause slippage. Refresh roots and edges with light oils or gel; sleep with a satin bonnet. Deep cleanses and professional maintenance every few weeks preserve longevity.

You can swim and exercise with faux locs, but take precautions: wear a swim cap, rinse and clarify hair after chlorinated or saltwater exposure, and dry thoroughly to prevent odor or mildew. Secure styles and minimize constant wet-dry cycles for longer wear.
