Loc Maintenance

A: The palm roll is a key method for maintaining and tightening locs. At Salon Gill, stylists roll each loc between their palms, following the loc's direction. This defines shape, reduces frizz, and promotes tight, healthy locs. Regular sessions keep your locs strong, stylish, and well-cared for.

A: Interlocking is a technique for maintaining or starting locs. At Salon Gill, our stylists utilize a latch hook to meticulously weave loose ends into the base of the loc, ensuring each loc is tightened and smoothed. This method promotes healthy hair growth and minimizes damage.

A: At Salon Gill, crochet locs retightening is a precise and efficient method used to maintain and tighten your locs without compromising their integrity. The technique involves using a specialized crochet needle to pull loose hairs back into the locs, ensuring they remain neat and well-defined. Our skilled stylists carefully handle each loc to prevent breakage and promote healthy hair growth. This method is particularly effective for maintaining the style and longevity of your locs while reducing the risk of thinning or damage.
