Tips, Tricks & How Tos

Some little Tips, Tricks and How To's:

Installation:

• Use the bricklayer method of installing your dreadlocks. 
  
• Square size should range between 1 - 1.5 inches. Tailor to your size head and amount you are installing.
• I recommend installing 1/3 on the back of your head and the remaining on the sides and top.
• Braid in, secure with elastic. Please refer to video on TIKTOK for example.

Washing your dreadlocks: 

• I recommend using an organic shampoo bar. No need for conditioner. 
• Wash scalp, massage shampoo in and let suds run down dreadlock extensions.
• Let sit for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly.
• Repeat if you have build up.

Daily Care:

• For NEW Wavys, I recommend misting with water and separating twice daily, from root to tip. Follow up with a light oil on your scalp for scalp health. You may use a small amount in your dreads to help with any frizziness if needed.
• For brushable soft ends, separate and brush with a detangle brush.
• For natural ends, leave alone and let them dread naturally. 

Sleeping:

• I recommend sleeping with a high pony or silk bonnet to keep wavy dreads from frizzing initially. Once matured you can just wear a high pony.
• I recommend a silk pillowcase initially and long term. 

Detoxing Your Dreadlock Extensions:

• Prior to initial intall and between installations, you'll want to detox your extensions to remove and chemicals or build up and refresh.
• 1 cup ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar)
• Bowl of warm water 
• Soak for 30-60min
• Rinse thoroughly 
• Hang to dry or lay flat
