Legacy Loc extensions are crafted from high-grade 100% human hair collected from multiple donors. Multi-donor hair naturally includes subtle variations in color tone, strand length, and texture. Each batch is carefully treated and processed into afro kinky bulk hair to achieve the most natural loc appearance, strength, and blend.

All locs are sold 10 locs per bundle.

For Example:

1 Bundle= 10 Locs         

2 Bundles=20 Locs       

3 Bundles=30 Locs

10 Bundles=100 Locs

12 Bundles=120 Locs   

14 Bundles=140 Locs   

20 Bunldes=200 Locs

Multiple bundles are required to achieve a full head of locs. Please select the quantity of bundles you would like upon checkout on our website.

Legacy Loc extensions are measured in centimeters

Standard, Standard Coil Tip, Interlocked, Interlocked Coil Tip, Textured, Textured Coil Tip, Deep Wave, Fusion Locs , Goddess Locs Locs share the same width diameter as below:

▪️Sista Locs (0.1cm wide)
▪️Micro (0.2 cm wide)
▪️XSmall (0.4 cm wide)
▪️Small (0.6 cm wide)
▪️Medium (0.8 cm wide)
▪️Large (1 cm wide)
▪️XLarge (1.2cm wide)

Please note that the thickness your natural hair plays a factor in how many locs you would require. These are the average amounts needed to give you a complete head of locs.

Sista Width---40 to 80 Bundles (400-800 locs)

Micro Width---15 to 25 Bundles (150-250 locs)

XSmall Width--9 to 14 Bundles (90-140 Locs)

Small Width----8 to12 Bundles (80-120 Locs)

Medium width--7 to 8 Bundles(70-80 Locs)

Large Width------5 to 7 Bundles (50-70 Locs)

XL Width ----- 4 to 5 Bundles (40-50 Locs)

XXL Width (WICKS) ------ (5 to 10 Locs)

When you select your quantity upon checkout, you are selecting the number of bundles you would like.

For example:
If you select the quantity of 1, you will be placing an order for 1 bundle= 10 locs.

select a quantity of 3, you will be placing an order for 3 bundles=30 locs.

The best way to estimate how many loc extensions you’ll need for a full head is to section your natural hair first.

Create individual plaits (or twists) across your head based on the loc width size you plan to order. Once your entire head is sectioned, count each plait. That number will give you a close estimate of how many loc extensions you should purchase.

This method gives the most accurate estimate because it’s based on your actual head size, parting pattern, and desired loc thickness.

For shaved hairstyles (mohawk/ undercut/ high top fade), these are the average amounts needed to give you a complete head of locs.

Sista locs- 30-60 bundles (300-600 Locs )

Micro width locs- 7-9 bundles (70-90 Locs )

Extra small width locs- 5-6 bundles (50-60 Locs )

Small width locs- 4-7 bundles (40-70 Locs)

Smedium width locs- 4-6 bundles (40-60 Locs)

Medium locs- 3-5 bundles (30-50 Locs)

Large locs- 3-4 bundles (30-40 Locs)

Legacy Locs can be made in different lengths ranging from 6" inches - 30"inches.

Our loc extensions can be installed on any hair type. For a proper installation, you need at least 3 inches of new growth.

There are several methods used to install loc extensions. Because techniques can vary based on hair type, loc size, and desired results, we strongly recommend working with a professional loctician who specializes in loc extension installation.

If you prefer to learn the process yourself, there are also helpful step-by-step tutorials available on YouTube. Be sure to follow experienced professionals and trusted educators when reviewing installation methods.

You can add legacy loc extensions to your existing locs for more length or to repair broken or thinning locs.

The best way to determine if your loc extensions are made with human hair, you can perform a burn test.

Human hair:

• Burns slowly
  
• Smells like burned hair
  
• Turns to ash and crumbles
  

Synthetic hair:

• Burns quickly
  
• Smells like plastic
  
• Melts into a hard bead
  

Yes. Even though loc extensions are crocheted to resemble mature dreadlocks, they are not fully matured internally at first. Just like natural starter locs, they require time to mature both inside and out.

After washing and conditioning, the extensions may swell slightly — this is normal and expected. The locs will remain intact.

During the first few months, avoid aggressive handling while the locs are wet. Rough twisting, pulling, or heavy manipulation can weaken the structure over time. Gentle care helps your extensions mature properly and last longer.

Loc extensions made in Color #1B (natural off-black) can typically be bleached and dyed successfully.

For lifting #1B locs, a common starting mix is:

• 2 parts 30-volume liquid developer
  
• 1 part bleaching powder
  

Always perform a strand test first and use professional judgment when lightening.

Loc extensions made in Color #1, #2, or #4 have already been processed and dyed. Because of this prior color treatment, they may be very difficult or impossible to lift with bleach.

For best results and to prevent damage, professional color services are recommended.

You can use 2 parts 30 volume liquid developer, to 1 part BW bleaching powder to lift  the loc extension color to dye them.

Although our loc extensions are made from 100% human hair and can be bleached or dyed, we do not recommend bleaching within the first 3–6 months after receiving them.

Even though the locs are crocheted to look mature, they are not fully matured internally at first. Just like natural starter locs, they need time to tighten and stabilize from the inside out.

Bleaching too early may lead to:

• Excess swelling
  
• Frizzing
  
• Loosening of the loc structure
  
• The need for re-tightening with a crochet needle
  

Over-processing with bleach can weaken the hair fibers and break down the loc structure, which may cause thinning, shedding, or breakage over time — the same risk that occurs when natural locs are over-processed or improperly lightened.

For best results, wait until the locs have matured and use a professional colorist experienced with locs.

While all of our loc extensions are made with human hair and can generally be bleached or colored, we do not recommend using bleach or developer-based dyes on light blonde or grey shades.

These lighter shades have already been heavily processed to achieve their color. Additional bleaching or developer-based coloring can compromise the strength, structure, and overall integrity of the locs.

Extra caution is especially important for micro and sister locs, since their smaller diameter makes them more delicate and more vulnerable to chemical damage.

To maintain the beauty and longevity of lighter-colored loc extensions, we recommend using:

• 
  Semi-permanent color
  
• 
  Non-developer dyes
  
• 
  Deposit-only color products
  

When in doubt, consult a professional colorist experienced with locs.

We do not recommend ordering Color #1B loc extensions if you plan to dye them into vibrant shades such as pink, blue, yellow, green, or purple.

Because #1B is a dark base, achieving bright fashion colors usually requires heavy lifting with bleach, which can increase the risk of damage and weaken the loc structure.

For best vibrant color results, we recommend ordering:

• Solid Blonde #613, or
  
• Two-tone #1B/#613
  

These lighter bases allow vivid colors to deposit more easily, produce brighter results, and require less aggressive chemical processing.

For best outcomes, always strand test first or consult a professional colorist.

Yes — loc extensions can be washed and conditioned. They are made with 100% human hair, so they will respond to hair products similarly to your natural hair.

During the first few months, the extensions go through an internal maturing (budding) stage, just like starter locs. Because of this, gentle care is very important early on.

For the first couple of months:

• Wash gently — do not scrub aggressively
  
• Do not pull, tug, or yank on the locs while wet
  
• Avoid rough handling during shampooing and conditioning
  

Aggressive washing or pulling while wet can weaken the loc structure over time. Gentle care helps your extensions mature properly and last longer.

After your loc extensions are installed, regular maintenance is important as your hair grows and the locs mature. Plan to maintain your locs every 4–6 weeks with proper cleansing, moisture, and grooming.

Washing Timeline

• You may wash your locs with a moisturizing shampoo after 2–3 weeks post-installation
  
• Wash gently and avoid aggressive scrubbing
  

Conditioning Guidelines

• Depending on the installation method, conditioner should be used 2–3 months after installation
  
• If conditioner is needed earlier to soften the extensions, apply only below the attachment point toward the ends
  
• Do not apply conditioner at the attachment/root area within the first 8–12 weeks
  

Applying conditioner too close to the attachment point too early may cause:

• Slippage
  
• Loosening
  
• Extension detachment from your natural hair
  

Daily Moisture Care

You may use a light hydrating mist daily, such as:

• Legacy Loc Revive Mist
• Rose water
• Lightweight hydration sprays
• Water-based loc mists
  

Avoid heavy products that cause buildup.

Scalp Oil Routine

• Apply a light moisturizing oil to your scalp 1–2 times per week
  
• Lightly mist scalp and locs before applying oil for best absorption

Yes. Loc extensions will gradually relax and soften with regular moisturizing and normal wear.

They are crocheted tightly during production to ensure long-term durability and to help them withstand future color processing if you choose to bleach or dye later. Because of this tight construction, they may feel firm at first — this is intentional and supports longevity.

With proper moisture care, the texture will become more flexible and natural over time.

Recommended Moisture Routine

To keep your loc extensions healthy and hydrated, use:

• Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
  
• A lightweight moisturizing oil
  
• A hydrating leave-in or loc mist spray
  

Apply moisture daily or as needed to prevent dryness and maintain softness.

After your loc extensions are installed, regular maintenance is important as your hair grows and the locs mature. Plan to maintain your locs every 4–6 weeks with proper cleansing, moisture, and grooming.

How to Maintain Curly or Coil Tip Loc Extensions

Curly or coil-tip loc extensions require regular maintenance during the first few months. If the curl pattern is not maintained 1–2 times per week, the curls may become tangled, look distressed, and eventually begin forming into a loc.

How to Detangle & Define the Curl Pattern

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the locs or curly ends are wet or damp
   
2. Hold the loc just above where the curl pattern begins
   
3. Slowly and gently finger-detangle — do not comb
   
4. Apply a small amount of curl-defining gel
   
5. Work the product through the curls with your fingers until smooth and easy to separate
   

For longer-lasting definition, use a lightweight curl or coil defining gel and avoid heavy buildup products.

Legacy Loc extensions with curly or coil ends are considered high maintenance and require gentle handling, especially in the early months.

Fusion locs and Goddess locs may experience minimal shedding until the loc structure has fully matured internally — this is normal.

Important Detangling Warning

After installation:

• Do not aggressively comb curly ends
  
• Do not pull or tug hard while detangling
  
• Always finger-detangle slowly and gently
  

Aggressive detangling can pull out immature strands that have not fully locked internally. Over time, this can lead to excessive shedding, thinning, and loss of curl fullness.

Gentle care helps preserve the curl pattern and overall density of the ends.
