Dreadlocks, also known as locs, are sexy. They are beautiful and flexible way to wear your natural hair. Don’t join the bandwagon that believes that dreadlocks do not need grooming. In fact, just like natural hair, they need treatment.
Certain celebrities like Asa, Dakore Egbuson and others have popularised the dreadlocks trend. If you are rocking dreadlocks, these tips would help you keep them in good shape:
1.Wash your dreadlocks
Cleaning your scalp as well as removing any buildup, lint, or extra oil from your dreadlocks is important. As a result, stop using shampoos and conditioners that leave oil on your hair and instead go for a sulphate-free shampoo. The frequency of your dreadlocks will be determined by you, your diet, and your dreadlocks. If you work out regularly, for example, you can feel the need to cleanse your dreadlocks more frequently.
2.Drying Your Locs
Drying your dreadlocks after washing them is an essential move. Gently suck out as much moisture as possible with a manageable handful of your dreadlocks. Start at the base and work your way down to the tips. Finally, use a microfibre towel to tie your hair or squeeze your dreadlocks.
3. Moisturise your dreadlocks
Moisture is still vital when it comes to loc care, because dry hair is vulnerable to brittleness and breakage, and no one wants their dreadlocks to pop! To prevent your dreadlocks from being stiff, we consider using a moisturising spray and then a hair oil.
4. Scalp Care
Because you have dreadlocks doesn’t mean you should ignore your scalp’s well-being. As previously said, the scalp is still skin and needs some attention. Ensure you use a non-clogging, lightweight oil.
