Dreadlocks in Indianapolis, IN

Dreadlocks, or locs, are a long-term natural hairstyle created by coiling, braiding, or palm-rolling hair into rope-like strands that lock together over time. At Ramas Hair Braiding, our stylists work with clients at every stage of their loc journey: from the first starter locs to years of maintenance retwists. Whether you’re just starting out or need a touch-up on established locs, we’ll help you keep them neat, healthy, and growing strong.

Maintenance

Low Daily Maintenance

Hair Grows Protected

Because the strands are locked together, your hair is shielded from daily manipulation and breakage, which can support longer-term growth.

Customer Testimonials

Frequently Asked Questions about Dreadlocks

How long does it take for locs to mature?

Most locs take 12 to 18 months to fully mature and lock, though this varies by hair type and starter method. Regular retwists during this time help the process along.

How often should I get my locs retwisted?
Most clients come in every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and how neat you want your new growth to look.
Can I start locs on any hair type?
Yes. We work with a range of hair textures and will recommend the starter method — coils, two-strand twists, or braids — that fits your hair best.
