Is warter good for your dreads?

Answer 1

absolutely!! Water is a natural moisturizer. Rinse your hair daily in the shower (depending on your length: 5 inches of hair = 5 minutes to rinse your hair. If your hair type is curly, it will lock up faster. After rinsing. squeeze the water out of your locs and your hair will dry faster. Use a black tshirt or lint free towel to cut down on lint buildup.

Your locs don't need a lot of product, just water and light oil. Please ignore all the products that advertise maintaining moisture in your hair. Don't use creams,waxes, or gel (except aloe 100%) products that promise to loc up your hair faster. The last thing a loc wearer needs is product build up in their locs.

If you have dry scalp then light oil 2x's a week on scalp only. I've been wearing and doing locs for 15years. I am a reformed product junkie, using all sorts of products of moisturizing and found water, plus rinsing with acv (with a few drops of your favorite essential oil) once a week after using the no poo method (diluted baking soda) will train your scalp to start producting the sebum in your scalp.

In hotter climates, I do is carry a small spray bottle of water (travel size bottles) w/ a few drops of essential oil and sprtiz more often.

In colder climates, rinse everyday. Do the rinses in the morning so that your hair can dry. Never go to sleep with wet locs because it will cause mildew within your locs.

the above answer is excelent (one of the best dread answers ive seen) however i will add that there is 1 product worthwhile , and its basicly water, with sea salt, and only fot young locks and should be rinsed out soon after (2 hours max), sea salt water helps dreads tighten early on.
