Instant Locs & New Dreadlocks From Scratch in Toronto
Instant Locs & New Dreadlocks From Scratch in Toronto Book Your Appointment
Starting dreadlocks from scratch is a major commitment, and the foundation matters. At Dread Love, new dreadlocks and instant locs are created with intention, experience, and respect for your hair’s natural behavior, ensuring strong, well-formed locs that mature properly over time.
Whether you’re looking for instant locs or beginning the dreadlock journey from loose hair, this service is fully customized to your hair type, texture, density, and long-term goals.
What instant locs are
Instant locs are a method of creating fully formed dreadlocks in a single session, rather than waiting months for locs to develop naturally. This technique allows you to leave the studio with defined locs that will continue to mature and strengthen with proper maintenance.
Instant locs are not “fake” locs — they are real dreadlocks created immediately through skilled technique.
