Dry, hard and brittle…are these a description of the current state of your locs?

Locs require a bit of TLC, mainly moisture. Moisture is needed to maintain healthy hair and to avoid “ashy loc syndrome”. (gasp) Let’s start from the beginning on what you can do to maintain and deliver moisture to your hair. Keeping your dreads clean not only promotes healthy hair growth, but helps get them tighter and stronger.

1. Dilute a sulphate-free shampoo to cleanse hair and remove build up; try Jane Carter Solution Hydrating Invigorating SLS-Free.
2. Yes, you must deep condition your locs. Your hair will still need regular nourishment which will come in the form of moisture and protein; try Jane Carter Solution Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner.
3. Leave-in conditioners open up the cuticle, moisturizing and coating the hair shaft; try Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner.
4. Always opt for products that do not clog the pores or cause build-up; avoid balms like beeswax or products that have mineral oil as their base. Moisturizing and emoliency is needed to reduce stiffness of hair and tightness of scalp; try Jane Carter Solution Twist & Lock.
5. Drink plenty of water – DAILY.

Problem solved.
