Five Ways To Take Care Of Your Dreadlocks

Dreadlocks, often known as locks or simply dreads, are an excellent protective hairdo and a versatile method to wear natural hair. However, it’s a popular fallacy that locs don’t need any upkeep when they do, just like any other type of hair.

This hairdo has a propensity to loosen, especially if it is new because it involves pieces of hair being locked together
to give a rope-like appearance. Whether you’re new to locs or simply want to learn more about how to make your locs thrive.

Here are five recommendations for caring for your dreadlocks

Cleaning your Dread
Cleaning your scalp is crucial, as is removing any buildup, lint, or extra oil from your locs. Use a sulphate-free shampoo instead of products that leave residue on your hair, and stay away from products that contain them.

Keeping Your Locs Dry
It’s important to dry your hair after you’ve washed your locs. No one wants mould or mildew to grow in their locs, so make sure they dry correctly! Take a handful of your locs and gently squeeze out as much moisture as possible from them. Work your way down to the ends, starting near the roots.

Care For Your Scalp
You shouldn’t disregard the condition of your scalp just because you have locs. As we previously mentioned, your
scalp is still skin, so it will require some care. Use a mild oil that won’t clog your pores; just keep that in mind.

Moisturise Your Locs
To prevent dryness, we advise using a moisturising spray followed by hair oil on your locs.

Dreads Nighttime Routine
We advise using a silk or satin pillowcase while you sleep and putting your locs in a silk scarf or hat to keep them covered. Brittle locs may snap or break, and cotton may soak up moisture. That implies that your locs will lose valuable moisture as a result.
