WASHING DREADLOCKS: SOME FACTS AND WHAT THEY LIKE BEST!

So in the non dreadlock world, there’s misconceptions that people with dreads DON’T wash them at all and in the dreadlocked world, some dread heads are actually doing the opposite and washing them too much, causing fluffiness, loops and bumps, weak spots and even mould build up!! So what are the best ways and best products to use to wash your dreadlocks? Read on to find out!

Many people ask me whether or not they need a licence to professionally operate as a Loctician. If you're apart of the #DivineDreadlocksTribe then you'll know that we offer plenty of support for getting your business on its feet long after we perfect your skill as a Loctician, but for those who would like to know in advance, well it is a fairly grey area in some places, but I hope this blog post clears things up at least a little.....

If you have dreadlocks and want to remove them but don't wish to cut them off, there is a way. It takes way longer than dreadlock creation with the Divine Hand & Hook method, but for those of you who just can't rock a short cut then gather your friends together and grab some coconut oil! This article will help you get your hair back! But don't expect it to look the same as it did before you locked it all up. Read on to get the lowdown....

Yeeeehooooo! So you've got yourself a brand new head of lush fresh dreads! Isn't it exciting!? If you had them made by the Divine Hand & Hook method or by another experienced natural crochet hook Loctician then they will be feeling rather tight and stiff to begin with. This always takes a wee while to adjust to, but it's exactly how the dreads should be if they're locked properly. When new dreads are tight and somewhat rigid it means that there will be minimal ongoing maintenance involved. If they're made by backcomb, twist & rip or only a loose crochet lock (80% locked & under) then they will be fairly squishy to begin with. Essentially this means they really need more locking with an experienced DH&H loctician aka - high quality dread loctician or artist to become more permanent, solid & healthy. Read on to learn the easiest way to care for them....

No matter where you're going to get your dreadlocks created, or even if a friend is going to make them using my Art of Natural Dreadlocking course, it is vital to prepare your hair properly! Correctly prepared hair is so much easier to dread which means less time and less money spent! Read on to find out how to get ready...

So What is the true cost of getting dreadlocks??  Well, that's kind of a funny question, really because it is the same as asking someone: "How long is a piece of string??" Who knows?!? It all depends on a number of factors: how much hair you have, how long your hair is, the width you want your dreads, if you want the tips open or closed, whether you are going to DIY (do it yourself), get a friend or family member to do it, see an dreadlock maker with little experience or whether you see a professional experienced Loctician or go to a hairdresser!
