When performed by experienced stylists using clarifying but gentle formulations, Hair Detox will not loosen or damage well-maintained locs, twists, or braids. Technicians use minimal manipulation, focused cleansing, and protective techniques to preserve tension and structure.

Appointment length varies with size, length and buildup level; expect roughly 30–75 minutes for an add-on service. Shorter sessions suit light buildup; longer sessions are needed for deep clarifying on dense or very long locs, twists, or braids.

Yes — proper clarifying treatments target residue without stripping essential moisture or altering your style. We use controlled application and thorough rinsing to remove buildup while maintaining definition. Minor retouching may be recommended in some cases.

Clarifying treatments are generally safe for color-treated protective styles, but may slightly affect delicate dyes. We recommend a consultation and strand test to choose a gentle formula that protects color while effectively removing buildup and toxins.

Aftercare includes gentle moisturizing with lightweight products, avoiding heavy buildup-causing formulas, ensuring thorough drying, and maintaining regular scalp hygiene. Follow stylist recommendations for product choices and timing between detox sessions to keep styles healthy.
