Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Butterfly Locs - Medium Large - Shoulder.

We recommend 8-9 bags of Water Wave Curl (Freetress) for medium-large shoulder-length butterfly locs. Hair is not included, so please purchase supplies before your appointment or source from our salon. Consider one extra bag for added volume or texture matching.

Installation time varies between five and eight hours depending on hair density, parting style, and custom details. Plan for a longer session if you want extra volume or color work, and bring water and snacks for comfort during the appointment.

Yes. We recommend using Water Wave Curl (Freetress) to match the butterfly locs texture. Bring your hair packs or purchase them in-salon so we can color-match fibers and ensure consistent curl pattern and seamless blending during installation.

Absolutely. Wash gently with a diluted sulfate-free shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry or gently blow-dry. Sleep with a satin scarf, avoid heavy oils, and refresh edges lightly. Professional maintenance every 6-8 weeks keeps locs neat and scalp healthy.

When installed with low tension by an experienced stylist, butterfly locs minimize damage and breakage. Avoid overly tight parts or excessive pulling, follow aftercare, and consult us if your scalp feels tender to prevent long-term stress on natural hair.

Bring any hair packs you purchased, reference photos, and a light snack or water for the appointment. Arrive with clean detangled hair if possible. We provide tools and the Water Wave Curl option if you prefer to buy on-site.
