About this hairstyle
Whether you started your locs a few months ago or years back, regular maintenance keeps them clean, neat and well formed. The session covers a wash, root maintenance (retwist or crochet, depending on what you're used to) and simple styling. The service is for men and women alike.
Book on KOUTIVA by choosing your date, time and neighbourhood in Douala or Yaoundé. The team calls to confirm the exact price based on length and number of locs, then a vetted professional from our network comes to your home. Handy before a busy week at work or a family event.
Styling tips
- Men: locs tied back look sharp with a wax-print shirt or a bazin outfit.
- Women: a high loc bun sets off a kaba or a ceremony dress.
- A headband or headwrap that matches your outfit adds a festive touch.
How long it lasts
A maintenance session usually holds for 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and your lifestyle.
To prepare before the hairdresser arrives
- Locs clean, or ready to be washed on site (access to water needed)
- A towel and your usual product if you have one
- A comfortable chair near a power outlet
- Let us know what you want: simple retwist or a full style
Care
- Sleep in a satin bonnet, durag or on a satin pillowcase
- Wash your scalp regularly and dry your locs thoroughly
- Don't retwist too often or too tightly, to avoid weakening the roots
- Use light products that don't leave build-up
Frequently asked questions
How long does the appointment take?
Allow roughly 2 to 3 hours, depending on the length and number of locs.
Do I need to provide any hair?
No. Maintenance is done on your own locs, so no extensions are needed, and this service doesn't include supplying hair.
Can the price change?
The price shown is a starting price. The KOUTIVA team calls you to confirm the exact amount based on the length and number of locs, and the travel fee depends on your neighbourhood.
Is this service for men too?
Yes, loc maintenance is for men and women alike, whatever the length of your locs.
