Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about 2week follow up shampoo.

We recommend scheduling the 2-week follow-up about two weeks after your microloc install to address early itching and buildup. This timing soothes the scalp while locs settle, helping prevent discomfort and promote a healthy environment for healing.

No. Our stylists use careful, targeted techniques and residue-free products to cleanse without loosening locs. We focus on the scalp and gently work around roots to preserve the install structure while relieving itch and buildup.

We use professional, sulfate-free, pH-balanced cleansers and soothing botanicals suited for textured hair and loc maintenance. Products are chosen to minimize residue, prevent dryness, and support scalp comfort for new microlocs.

Appointments usually take 30 to 45 minutes depending on scalp sensitivity and loc density. Time is allotted to gently cleanse, soothe, inspect roots, and provide brief aftercare guidance for continued comfort at home.

Light, gentle at-home rinses are okay, but a professional follow-up ensures proper product use and careful handling. We recommend the salon service to thoroughly address itching and avoid frizz or loosening of new microlocs.

Frequency depends on your scalp and lifestyle; many clients return every 2–4 weeks for maintenance. We will assess your scalp at the 2-week visit and recommend a personalized schedule to manage itch, buildup, and loc health.
