What cream/moisturizer do you use? I'd also like to hear about brushing your locks. How does this affect them? Very interesting!I use the same cream/moisturizer I use after my bath on my hair. I also brush my dreads daily with a super soft brush. Good luck!

I woke up one day, a few years into having my dreads, and just wanted to brush my hair. I missed the stimulation to my scalp. At first I used a regular hair brush but noticed more hair than I wanted, ended up in the brush! So I treated myself to a silver backed super soft brush (with matching silver back mirror, of course!) and began to brush my dreads. I try not to brush toward the scalp if my scalp is dry because moisturizer keeps the hair close the scalp from breaking.I make my own moisturizer for hair and body and have eliminated both a dry scalp and dry skin (took a lot of experimenting to get it right). If I moisturize my scalp, it last about two days, if I don't wash my hair (by the way, I don't wash my dreads every day). I've had a lot of people ask about the moisturizer and can senda sample if you like, just need postage. Twice a year I cut my hair to even it out: in the Fall and Spring, never the dog days of August (old wives tale)!
