The best advice we can give you to help determine how many locs you'll need to cover your whole head, is to section your hair into individual plaits that you think will accommodate the width loc extensions you're interested in. After you finish putting you hair in single plaits, count each plait, and that will give you an idea of how many loc extensions you'll need to purchase to give you a full head oflocs.

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 many different methods to installing loc extensions. The best thing to do is to consult with a local loctician who specialize in installing loc extensions. Also, YouTube has some great tutorials on how to install loc extensions.
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 and gives off a strong smell similar to hair being burnt by a hot comb or flat iron. Human hair will burn into ash balls and crumble between your fingers.
Synthetic hair will burn out quickly, and give off black smoke. Synthetic hair burns into a ball and hardens when cool. Synthetic hair has a off putting smell of burning plastic.
Yes, Please be mindful that even though the extensions are crochet to resemble mature dreadlocs, the extensions are not mature internally. It takes time for the extensions to mature internall & external just like natural starter locs. After being washed & conditioned the extensions will slightly swell just as natural locs would, so no need to worry, the extensions will still remain intact. For the first couple of months please do not handle extensions aggressively when wet, this may weaken the extensions over time.
Color Processing Legacy Loc Extensions
Locs made in color #1b can be bleached and dyed with no problem. You can use 2 parts 30 volume liquid developer, to 1 part BW bleaching powder to lift the loc extension color to dye them. Locs made in color #1, #2, #4, has been processed / dyed, and the color will be difficult to lift, or might not lift at all when bleached.
Even though our loc extensions can be bleached / dyed, I wouldn't advise bleaching the extensions within the 3-6 months of receiving. Please be mindful that even though the extensions are made with human hair and crochet to resemble mature dreadlocs, the extensions are not mature internally for the first couple of months. It takes time for the extensions to mature internally, just like natural starter locs. If the locs are bleached before they are internally matured, you might experience swelling of the extensions, frizzing, and the extensions might require re tightening with a crochet needle.
If locs are damaged due to over processing, The chemicals in the bleach will break down the locs, eventually cause the locs to thin out, shed, and eventually break off. The same thing will happen to natural locs if processed too many times in short period, or not processed properly.
Although all of our loc extensions can be bleached & colored, we do not recommend bleaching extensions that are made with lighter colors. The light color hair has already been processed to get to the color it is, and you do not want to risk compromising the extensions by bleaching.
Yes, we also custom make the loc extensions into any color or create a ombre tip in any color a customer desire. We prefer to make loc extensions with a color the customer desire, to avoid the customer from processing the locs themselves, or maybe damaging their extensions. Even though the locs are made with 100% human hair, processing the hair too many times will shorten the longevity of the extensions.
Legacy Loc Extensions Maintenance
Yes, you can wash and condition the loc extensions. The extensions are made with 100% human hair, therefore the extensions will react to hair product just as your natural hair would. Please be mindful for the first couple of months the loc extensions will internally go through the budding stage just like natural grown starter locs, so for the first couple of months please do not aggressively wash the extensions! Do not pull, tug, yank on extensions while wet, this will weaken the extensions.
After loc extension installation, every 4-6 weeks you will need to maintain your locs as they grow and mature, by washing, conditioning, moisturize, palm rolling, etc..
After loc extensions have been installed, you can wash them with moisturizing shampoo. Depending on installation technique used, hair conditioner can be used 2-3 months AFTER installation date. If you must use hair conditioner to help soften the extensions, ONLY apply conditioner below the attachment point, towards the end of the loc extensions.
Applying hair conditioner at loc attachment point within 8-12 weeks after installation may result in slippage, loc extension detachment from your natural hair.
You are allowed to use moisturizing hydration mist like rose water or something light that will not create product build up in your locs. You may also use moisturizing hair oil on your locs.
The loc extensions will eventually relax and soften up as you continue to moisturize them.
The extensions are crochet tightly to ensure longevity, and to withstand being color processed if customer desires to bleach/dye at a later time.
Please use moisturizing shampoo & conditioner. We also recommend using moisturizing oil and hydrating leavin-in moisturizing spray of choice daily, or as needed to help keep moisture in your extensions.

If you do not maintain curl pattern 1-2 times a week within the first few months, the curl pattern will eventually look distressed & form into a loc.
So the solution to detangle & define curl pattern is to:
- Make sure locs or curly ends are wet or damp
- Hold loc right above where curl pattern starts & slowly & gently detangle with fingers
- For best results long lasting curl definitions, use a small amount of Legacy Curl & Coil Define Gel by working gel throughout the curly ends with fingers until smooth & easy to maneuver through.
Our Legacy Loc Extensions with curly ends are high maintenance. Fusion locs & goddes locs will have minimal shedding until locs are matured.
After installing loc extensions with coils or curly ends, DO NOT AGGRSSIVLY COMB TO DETANGLE. DO NOT AGGRSSIVLY PULL ON CURLS DURING DETANGLING. Aggressively detangling curls will only pull out stands of hair that has not been matured internally, which will eventually cause excessive shedding & thinning to the loose curls over time.
