About this service
Locs thin, break or grow into each other for many reasons: tension, over-tightening, product build-up, illness or simply years of wear. Repair rebuilds the weak points so you keep the length you have grown.
We separate married locs, reinforce thinning roots, rebuild broken locs and advise on the routine that caused the problem so it does not repeat.
Benefits
- Keeps hard-earned length instead of cutting it off
- Thinning roots reinforced before they snap

- Honest advice on the routine behind the damage
Who it suits

- Locs damaged by over-tight installation or heavy styles
- Clients returning to loc care after a long break
Frequently asked questions
Can broken locs be repaired without cutting?
In most cases yes. A broken loc can be rebuilt or reinforced with matching hair so the length is kept. We only recommend cutting when a loc cannot safely hold.
Why are my locs thinning at the roots?
Usually over-tight retightening, heavy extensions or product build-up. We identify the cause during the assessment and adjust your maintenance plan around it.

Helpful reading
- How to maintain Sisterlocks
Wash with a residue-free shampoo, dry fully, keep the scalp moisturised lightly, cover at night and retighten every 4 to 6 weeks. Avoid heavy oils, wax and over-tight styles.
- How often do Sisterlocks need retouching?
Most clients retighten every 4 to 6 weeks. Waiting much longer risks married locs, matting at the roots and a longer, more expensive appointment.
