*The best advice we can give you to help determine how many locs you'll need to cover your whole head, is to section your hair into individula plaits that you think will accommodate the width loc extensions you're interested in. After you finish putting your hair in single plaits, count each plait, and that will give you an idea of how many loc extensions you'll need to purchase to give you a full head of locs.
*Even though the hair can be bleached/dyed, I wouldn't advise bleaching the extensions within the 3-6 months of receiving. Please be mindful that even though the extensions are made with human hair and crochet to resemble mature locs, the extensions are not mature internally for the first couple months. It takes time for the extensions to mature internally, just like natural starter locs. If the locs are bleached before they are internally matured, you might experience swelling of the extensions, frizzing, and the extensions might require retightening with a crochet needle or other loc repairs.
NOTE:
*If locs are damaged due to over processing, The chemicals in the bleach will break down the locs, eventually causing the locs to thin out, shed, and break off. The same thing will happen to natural locs if processsed to many times in a short period of time, or not processed properly.
*Yes, I also custom make the loc extensions into any color or create an ombre tip in any color a customer desire. I prefer to make loc extensions with a color the customer desire, to avoid the customer from processing the locs themselves, or maybe damaging their extensions. Even though the locs are made with 100% Brazilian human hair, processing the hair to many times will shorten the longevity of the extensions.
*Locs in stock require 1-2 business day processing time. Shipping within the U.S. is between 3 to 10 business days unless locs are in stock.
Internaltional shipping is 1 to 3 weeks depending on customs.
Note: Custom Orders – please note all loc extensions are handmade. We appreciate your patience in allowing us to make your custom locs with love and care to ensure the ultimate quality. In order to ensure your locs are of the highest quality, don't be alarmed if your locs are delayed within 1-4 days of the fulfillment time. Since we customize each order to the customers liking, (such as special dye job, special loc shape, or length) these may take extra time. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks handling time after receipt of cleared payment for locs to be made.
*It takes a long time because each loc is made by hand. Only 2-5 locs can be made in one hour. In addition to that, there are so many orders placed in a month ranging from 10 locs -150 locs per order. To be fair to each customer, orders are completed in the order received.
Rushed Orders – are available in most cases
*Yes, you can wash and condition the loc extensions. The extensions are made with 100% human hair; therefore the extensions will react to hair product just as your natural hair would. Please be mindful for the first couple of months the loc extensions will internally go through the budding stage just like natural grown starter locs, so for the first couple of months please do not aggressively wash the extensions! Do not pull, tug, yank on extensions while wet, this will weaken the extensions.
*Yes, with proper care, our extensions look even better as they age. The more you wash, condition, and moisturize the extensions, the more the locs will relax, feel, and flow like natural locs. What makes Atlanta Loc E xtensions unique and look and feel identical to real locs, is the fact that they are made by using a specific technique that can only be done by hand.
*Yes! Please be mindful that even though the extensions are crochet to resemble mature locs, the extensions are not mature internally.
