Repair and restoration

Protect the root.
Restore the story.

Broken, thinning, weak, or missing locs deserve a plan built around the cause, the surrounding hair, and what can be supported safely over time.

Long locs after professional repair and restoration

Assessment first

Repair - Reinforce - Rebuild

Every weak loc
has a reason.

Tension, breakage, chemical history, dryness, inconsistent maintenance, buildup, thinning areas, and previous repair methods can all affect what is possible. The salon needs to see the foundation before choosing a technique.

These are Charlotte's real before-and-after repair stories. Every head of hair is different, so consultation determines what your foundation can safely support.

Where repair may help

Targeted work.
Long-term thinking.

01

Weak or thinning locs

Reinforcement or bridge work may support a compromised area when the surrounding foundation is strong enough.

02

Broken or missing locs

Reattachment may be possible with saved locs or appropriately matched hair after the attachment area is assessed.

03

Corrective planning

Merging, irregular sections, previous extensions, heavy buildup, or widespread damage may need a staged plan rather than a single repair appointment.

What repair may address

Assess the damage.
Plan the repair.

The left images are real repair concerns. The right images are clearly marked illustrative goals created to explain the service, not documented client outcomes or guaranteed results.

How it works

See the hair.
Set the scope.

01

Document

Share when the issue began, prior repairs, chemical or color history, tension styles, health changes, and the maintenance routine.

02

Assess

The salon evaluates the root, neighboring locs, scalp, breakage pattern, saved locs, and whether the area can support repair.

03

Prioritize

The plan may include cleansing, maintenance, reduced tension, targeted reinforcement, reattachment, trimming, or a staged return visit.

04

Protect

Aftercare and future maintenance matter as much as the repair itself. Follow the salon's guidance for tension, products, cleansing, and timing.

An honest boundary

Repair is not
a guarantee.

Not every loc or thinning area can safely support reattachment or reinforcement. Results depend on the remaining foundation and the cause of the damage. The salon may recommend waiting, changing the style, removing weight, addressing scalp or health concerns, or choosing another direction.

Start with what is true

Bring the locs.
Bring the history.

For one or two straightforward repairs, open the repair service. For thinning areas, multiple missing locs, previous extensions, or widespread damage, consult first.
