our salonsHow long should my hair be to start dreadlocks?
You can start dreadlocks when your hair is 6 centimetres long. However, you will end up having short dreads. Some clients decide to add locks extensions to achieve longer locks.
Will dreadlocks suit my hair type?
Dreadlocks can be formed on any hair type or texture. Though, people with afro curly hair type get their dreadlocks faster than people with straight hair. At dreads n’ locks, we have relevant skills and techniques to work on any hair type.
Can I wash my dreadlocks often?
Dreadlocks are just locked hair that need regular washing. We recommend that you wash your dreadlocks every two weeks or as often as required if you have an active life and tend to sweat a lot.
How often should I have my maintenance done?
At dreads n’ locks, we recommend having maintenance every two months. This gives your hair and scalp enough time to rest and to have a good length of regrowth to work with.
Can I bleach or dye my dreadlocks, and if so, should I do it before or after I lock them up?
You can bleach or dye before or after you dread your hair. We recommend that you dye your hair before the locking process as this help to frizz the hair for the dreading process.
If I put dreadlocks in and I do not like them, do I have to shave my head to get them out?
You can still comb out your locks to have hair back within 6 months after locking your hair. The more mature your dreadlocks are, the more difficult it is to take them out. Note: brushing dreadlocks is a hard work that can take a couple of days to finish. And you will lose some of your hair during the combing process.
