Winter weather can be harsh on both skin and hair, and dreadlocks are no exception.
Here is our recommendations for you to keep your dreadlocks healthy and hydrated during the winter months
Oil Treatment: Give your scalp and dreadlocks a moisturizing oil treatment once or twice a month. The oil will penetrate best into damp skin and hair, so take a warm bath before applying the oil. Distribute the oil thoroughly throughout your scalp and dreadlocks. Cover with a plastic cap and a towel, and leave the oil in overnight.
Aloe Vera: Aloe vera is a natural moisturizer that can help soothe and relieve a dry scalp. Apply aloe vera gel directly to the scalp as needed.
Protect Your Dreadlocks: When you are outdoors in cold weather, cover your dreadlocks with a hat or scarf. This will protect them from the wind and cold.
Wash Your Dreadlocks Regularly: While it may be tempting to wash your dreadlocks less often in the winter months, it is important to wash them regularly to remove dirt and product residue. Use a mild dreadlock shampoo and conditioner.
Bonus Tip: Add a few drops of essential oil to your oil treatment to give your dreadlocks a lovely scent.
By following these tips, you can keep your dreadlocks healthy and beautiful all winter long.
