Though myths may make you doubtful, you can dread and maintain your hair so it looks its best

One of the first things to remember if you want to start locking your hair it requires care, time and patience. Depending on your hair’s texture, it could take your hair a great deal of time to lock, even up to two years. If you desire neater locks, every few weeks you have to either re-twist or re-latch your hair or go to a loctician.

Something else to consider is whether you will do it yourself or go to a loctician for touch-ups. With so much knowledge about dreadlocks on the web, it is relatively simple (although time consuming) to start and maintain your locks yourself. However, if you’d rather have the treat and time-saving component, consider having someone else care for them.

Here are a few tips to maintain your locks:

Wash and condition your lock regularly. One of the biggest misconceptions about dreadlocks is that they are unclean. Like any other hairstyle, wash locks regularly using a mild, clear shampoo to prevent buildup.

Cover your locks every night. Before going to bed, cover your head with a simple silk or satin scarf, bonnet or any of the many specialty wraps on the market for dreadlocks.
