Dreadlock Tidiness.
Dread Maintenance
Alright guys, I got my hair dreaded around 3 weeks ago. Now, I absolutely loooove them. But, unfortunately my job is riding me about them. I'm working as a Personal Trainer as part of a gym Full time, NOT a contracter. Therefore I am not my own boss - unfortunately.
But, I washed them for the first time yesterday, and upon walking into work this morning my boss started on me even worse. I don't want to get rid of them - but I can't lose my job also. I considered wax / gel, but that was just a desperate thought and I just... Couldn't do it to my hair.
It was done via Crochet Hook / Backcombing and I've been attempting to pop them back in as it has frizzed beyond a point of messiness and I'm really getting frustrated over being constantly belittled at my job because of it's "opinionated" messiness.
(Please no one tell me get a new job I'm looking for solutions not extra problems).
But I've read on the net about Aloe for frizziness, I tried it - Absolutely nothing was done. Palm rolling I attempted to do - It just seems more frizzy.
Is there anything else you guys would recommend? Even if it's just something short term that I can do before work and in-between breaks or something.? Since I'm sweating and working out 6 days a week it's getting profusely worse everytime I complete a workout.
And I feel as though because I sweat so much my hair is getting very... untidy and dirty. Is there anything extra people living an active lifestyle should do?
My apologies as I'm sure this is probably the main question that spams these forums and thank you very much for your input - Just trying to save my hair, and my career.
- Luke.
