What the service does
A Loc Retwist + 2 Strand for shoulder-length locs refreshes the base while securing the length. The retwist re-aligns and tightens new growth at the scalp, producing a neat root line. The two-strand portion creates a textured, secured finish along the length so the locs sit uniformly without loose fibers along the body of the locs.
This combination is chosen when clients want both tidy roots and a controlled, textured appearance for shoulder-length locs. Results depend on hair density, recent manipulation and local humidity; in Woodbridge's humid summers you may notice quicker softening or frizz, which affects how frequently the retwist and two-strand styling are maintained.
How the technique is applied
The service focuses on two linked actions: tightening the new growth at the scalp (the retwist) and twisting the locked section in two-strand form down the length. For shoulder-length hair the stylist balances tension so the root is secure without over-tightening along the length. The appointment is scheduled for 120 MINUTES to allow careful work and finishing touches.
Because this is a combined service, the stylist weighs trade-offs: tighter retwists give a crisp look but may need gentler maintenance, while two-strand styling increases texture but can alter the locs' feel. The listed price for this service is $85, which reflects the time and combined technique for shoulder-length locs.
