Active Outdoor Maintenance?

Good Evening!

I have a question about maintenance that I wasn't really able to find browsing through the forums. I spend a lot of time out in the elements, but even more so during the spring, summer, autumn. I am constantly in the sun, out on the water, in the wind etc.

Typically, by the end of September, I am trying to do heavy conditioning treatments to bring some life back to my hair (pre dread).

Am I going to have to worry about that with my dreads? If so is there anything I can do to alleviate some of that stress that I put on my hair? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for the insight. Did you have problems with your hair getting too dry before you dreaded because of the elements?

i spends weeks to months in the mountains and forrests deep in the wilderness i get caked in so much mud my dreads are 3 times as thick jst from mud i hop into a freezing moiuntain stram to remove the excesss ..then i wash them nice and thouroughly when i get back to babylon

igf uyour not months away from civilization then all you gotta do is wash when u feel u should

when mature as\dd lil aloe or jojoba as needed
