Loc maintenance: butterfly, micro and sister locs

Locs are a beautiful long-term commitment, and how you maintain them decides how healthy and neat they stay. Here is our specialist guidance for the loc styles we install most at Miracle Beauty World.

How often should you retwist?

For most clients, every four to six weeks is ideal. Retwisting too often stresses the roots and can cause thinning, so resist the urge to do it weekly.

Washing your locs

Clean locs lock better than dirty ones. Wash every one to two weeks with a residue-free shampoo, and make sure they dry completely to avoid odour.

Butterfly vs micro vs sister locs

Butterfly locs are a softer, distressed temporary style. Micro and sister locs are smaller, longer-term installations that need professional maintenance. We will advise the right routine for your type.

Protect them at night

A satin scarf or bonnet reduces frizz and keeps your locs looking fresh for longer.
