7 Ways to Moisturize Dry Locs
Always Clarify Your Hair. The first step to moisturized locs begins with your shampoo. ... Use a Water-Based Moisturizer AND an Emollient Oil. ... Get Regular Salon Hydration Treatments. ... Increase Your Water Intake. ... Ditch the Shower Cap. ... Wear a Satin Scarf. ... Use Aloe Vera.
Opt for gentler conditioners, like the ones highlighted above. Cut out waxes from your
hair care regimen. Wax that contains petrolatum, such as is found in
petroleum jelly or
Vaseline, paraffin wax and beeswax are detrimental to
locs.
Brushing Your Locs- Brushing your locs with a loc comb while your locs are wet can reduce frizz at the root and frizz along your locs. Get into a Good Routine- Getting yourself into a consistent routine will help you manage and maintain your locs and control the growth from frizzing out.
Using natural oils such as sweet almond oil, coconut oil or olive oil will allow dreads to be deep conditioned. The locks should be lightly coated with oil after towel drying hair, and then covered with a plastic cap, or plastic bag.
How often should I use salt spray on locs? To avoid long-term damage, I recommend you use the spray only as often as you wash your hair. If you wash your dreads once every 7 to 10 days, then spray it around your hair on the day you wash them, always BEFORE you wash them (so that you can wash it out).
