About

KC Dreadlocks works on locs for all hair types and focuses on the crochet method for creating and maintaining dreadlocks. The business also lists itself as Kansas City Dreadlocks.

Crochet work uses a small metal hook to tighten locs, pull in loose hair, smooth out bumps and loops, attach extensions and reinforce weak spots. According to the business, crocheted locs look mature from the first day and sit further along the maturing process than locs made with other techniques. The method takes a higher level of skill to do without damaging the hair, and the business calls crochet hooking one of the most effective ways to shape locs.

Services are grouped under consultation and dreadlock services. Most prices are general estimates, so the final cost depends on the individual head of hair.

Aftercare guidance is part of the service. Clients are advised to wait one to two weeks after new locs are installed before the first wash so they can settle, then wash every one to two weeks with a residue-free shampoo made for dreadlocks, massaging the scalp and squeezing the shampoo through the locs. Locs should be dried thoroughly with a microfiber towel and air-dried, using a low-heat dryer only if needed, and fully dry before being tied up or covered with a hat. Maintenance visits are booked two to four months after the previous appointment.

The business uses crochet techniques to create, tighten and maintain locs, and gives clients a set of washing and drying steps to follow between visits.
