Thanks everyone! Alistair Amick- Hey no maintenance really.. Every several weeks or few months (basically whenever I feel like it) I grab a crochet hook and pull the loose hairs and roots in the dreads gently and not too tight, just enough to help catch the nearby dreads. I really don't even palm roll except every several weeks or if I notice a dread going flat. I moisturize with a bit of aloe and essential oils and coconut oil blend I made every 2 washes (after they dry of course). I basically just get a bit of my mix in my hand and rub my hands together, and then just wipe it into my hair as evenly as possible, and just love them up a little until I feel the dreads absorb it. Sometimes I will palm roll then too. Basically I do nothing to them unless I feel like it.

Thanks! They are mostly wood, agate and jasper and a few other gemstones. I know an awesome lapidary jeweler who custom made them for me.
