What palm-rolling does
The palm-roll method is a manual maintenance technique where each loc is smoothed and rotated between the palms to help re-tighten and align the hairs. At Asili Hair Care Center in Pikesville we begin with a professional shampoo, then perform palm rolling to maintain the body and compactness of each loc without adding extensions.
Results depend on hair texture, loc thickness and time since the last maintenance appointment. Palm rolling reduces loose hairs and helps locs sit neater, but the visible outcome varies; talk with your stylist about how tight or loose you prefer your locs so they can adapt pressure and sequence during the session.
Who should book this
Book this service if you have more than 100 locs — that is the practical guideline we use for Microloc Maintenance Palm Roll. The appointment covers shampooing and systematic palm-rolling for large sets of locs; clients with fewer locs should ask about alternative maintenance options when scheduling.
Because styling is not included, expect a neat, maintained set of locs but no finished salon style. If you want a braid-out, updo, or blowout after maintenance, let us know when you schedule so we can reserve extra time or pair this visit with a separate styling service.
Salon process and timing
Appointments are scheduled for 90 minutes; that timeframe covers shampooing and palm-rolling through a large number of locs. The set length helps ensure the stylist can work systematically through each loc while keeping the session focused on maintenance rather than finishing styles.
The price for this service is $150. Located on the Reisterstown Road corridor in Pikesville, our salon’s timing and location are convenient for commuters and nearby communities like Owings Mills and Randallstown who look for efficient maintenance appointments before or after work.
