How long should you keep LOC styles in?
Once your hair is mature, I’d recommend getting it twisted every six to eight weeks. But it’s also a personal preference thing. If you have to be in a corporate environment and have to look professional all the time, then every four to six weeks, but just remember, don’t over twist your hair.
Is styling good for dreads?
