Questions
Natural hair, answered
Do you work with tightly coiled hair?
Always. Natural hair is what we do, from loose curls to the tightest coils, at every length and density.
How often should I wash my natural hair?
Every week. A weekly wash keeps your scalp clean and balanced, stops product and build up from settling in, and gives your hair the regular moisture it needs to stay soft and strong. Book a Wash and Blow Dry as your weekly appointment.
How long does a silk press last?
Up to four weeks, depending on the condition of your hair and how you look after it. Wrap it every night in a silk or satin scarf, keep it away from steam, rain and sweat, and avoid adding more heat between appointments. Your stylist will show you how to keep it fresh.
Will a silk press damage my curls?
Not when it is done with care. We press with control, section by section, never on damp hair, and we recommend leaving four to six weeks between presses so your curls can recover. Pairing your press with regular treatments keeps your hair strong.
How often should I retwist my locs?
Every four to six weeks suits most locs. Retwisting more often can thin and weaken the roots, while leaving it much longer means more regrowth to work through. If it has been longer, choose Overgrown Regrowth when you book your retwist.
Is a wash included with under wig cornrows?
Not with Under Wig Cornrows. For a wash first, book Wash and Under Wig Cornrows, or Wash, Treatment, Trim and Cornrows for the full works.
Which relaxer option should I book?
Book Touch Up if you relax regularly and have less than six months of regrowth. If your hair is fully natural, or it has been six months or more, book First Application.
Can I add a treatment to my appointment?
Yes. Protein and bond building treatments can be added when you book. See every option on our treatments page.
Do you style children's natural hair?
Yes. Our kids braids and cornrows page has everything for ages 10 and under.
