Get answers to common questions about Loc All Over Color (Double Process).

We first lighten your locs to the appropriate level, then apply a tailored color to deposit pigment evenly. Each step includes treatments to maintain moisture and strength. Timing and techniques vary by hair density, length, and previous color history.

Yes — when performed by experienced stylists. We assess loc condition and choose low-damage formulations, plus add strengthening treatments. Some fragile locs may need prep steps or staggered services to minimize stress and ensure healthy results.

Allow three to six hours depending on length, thickness, desired lift, and processing time. Consultation and strand tests guide timing. We book accordingly to ensure careful processing, conditioning treatments, and proper drying to deliver safe, vibrant color.

Any lightening carries risk, but we minimize damage through protective techniques, bond-building treatments, and customized timing. If locs are weak or compromised, we recommend strengthening treatments or staged services to prioritize health over immediate color intensity.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe cleansers, deep-condition weekly, and avoid heat when possible. Apply recommended sealants and UV protection, and schedule a moisturizing treatment four to six weeks after service. Follow stylist's product recommendations to preserve tone and loc integrity.

Touch-ups depend on growth and fading—typically every 6–10 weeks for maintenance. Full repeat double-process services should be spaced to protect loc health; we’ll assess condition at each visit and recommend timing based on your hair’s strength and color goals.
