Dreadlocks Care Tips
Dear
Thank you for trusting us to be part of your dreadlock journey! Proper care is key to maintaining healthy, vibrant locs that last. Below are our top 6 care tips to help you keep your dreadlocks strong, clean, and stylish:
1️⃣ Wash Smart, Not Hard
-
Frequency: Wash your locs once a week—avoid daily washing to preserve natural oils.
-
Water Temperature: Use warm water and never soak your dreads for more than a few moments.
-
Shampoo: Always use a sulfate-free shampoo. Apply it from the scalp downward, let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly from root to tip. Squeeze your locs while rinsing to remove all residue.
2️⃣ Dry Gently, Never Rough
-
After washing, squeeze out excess water and pat your scalp/locs dry with a soft towel. Never rub—friction can cause frizz or damage.
3️⃣ Style Only When Dry
-
Wait until your locs are fully dry before styling or adding products. Wet locs trap moisture, which can lead to mildew or odors.
4️⃣ Maintain Structure
-
Retwist or crochet your locs as needed when they loosen to keep them neat and tidy.
5️⃣ Moisturize for Shine
-
Spritz with a spray-on moisturizer (aloe vera or water-based) to keep locs hydrated, smooth, and shiny.
6️⃣ Protect While You Sleep
-
Wrap your hair in a silk/satin scarf or use a silk pillowcase. This prevents breakage and reduces frizz.
