What the add-on includes
Alongside a loc retwist, this add-on uses rollers, finger-twists, or coil-setting to introduce curl, wave, or defined texture without altering the loc foundation. We style directly after the retwist so the base is neat; the shape you get depends on loc thickness, length, and how recently your locs were installed or maintained.
This Locs Roller or Natural Set Add On is scheduled for 180 MINUTES and is priced at $70. Allowing that time helps us retwist and set carefully; heavier locs or intricate coil patterns can take longer within the appointment window. Expect your stylist to set curls and leave them to set under wraps or bands for optimal definition.
How results are formed
The visual result comes from reshaping the loc surface and encouraging a temporary curl pattern while the retwist holds the base. Loc thickness, length, and overall hair health change how tight or soft the set will hold. Many clients report more attention and compliments after adding a roller or coil set, reflecting noticeable change without changing the loc structure.
Nashville's humid subtropical climate — hot, humid summers and pollen seasons — can soften a set faster than drier climates, so expect quicker drop in summer. How you sleep, your aftercare products, and daily activity level will also affect longevity. Regular maintenance appointments and clean retwists help the styled pattern read more clearly over time without compromising hair health.
Choosing the right option
A roller set typically creates more uniform, rounded curls or waves that read as polished volume, while a twist-out produces softer, separated texture. Coil sets often give tighter, springier definition suited to smaller or newer locs. Your stylist will recommend the best option based on loc size, length, and your desired finish, balancing hold and natural movement.
Deciding also involves lifestyle: commuters and music industry professionals in North Nashville often prefer durable, quick-to-style finishes that hold through activity and humidity. Bring reference photos and tell your loctician about upcoming events—May, June, and December are particularly busy months for sets because of weddings and holiday gatherings—so we can plan timing and the look you want.
