Tying your locks

Dread Maintenance

No two set of dreads are the same. So no two set of dreads can by tied exactly the same way. And if they are, they won't look the same. Play around with it, figure out what looks cool with yours.

It's called Big and it's made by Lush. It's all natural and handmade and it has sea salt in it. I love it, it dries out your dreads in a super healthy way so they don't get brittle.

what's sea salt shampoo?

Lisa said:

I started them with backcombing and wax, and I think what was best for them was that I was swimming in the ocean every day for the first few months. I can't do that this time of year, so now I use sea salt shampoo and it works fantastic. I also use a hair moisturizer made for ethnic hair which keeps them nice and healthy.

otherwise just leave em alone

I've had my dreads for 8 months and they are great, but the roots have all sorts of loose hairs that aren't attached to any dread. Any advice on neatening that up?
