Product Suggestions

As I'm sure you've learned by now, caring for dreadlocks isn't a science, but it does require finessing of your maintenance skills and techiniques.

Whether you want salon perfect dreadlocks or a maintained look with a bit of edge, your technique often dictates overall dreadlocks appearance moreso than products.

A good product will not only hold, but will add a degree of sheen that is sufficient.  Meaning, your hair won't be oily and the outer layers of your dreadlocks will look shiny and healthy.  But even the best product can't transform your hair if you're using it incorrectly.

So before you take our product suggestions, be sure to review the Dreadlocks Maintenance and Frequently Asked Questions areas.  When you know what to do and what not to do, that increases your chances of getting the dreadlocks look that you desire.

Can Lyers Love a Dread?

That's Rasta

I'm starting to get the impression that Jacksonville, FL's north side has more dreads per capita than any other area in the US.  What's surprising is that despite the number of people with locks, far too many of them are not properly caring for their hair.  You won't believe there reasons why.

You Nappy Headed Heffer

BLOG-OPENS IN NEW WINDOW: I must start this post by saying that I have nothing against most women with natural hair but some of you people get on my damn nerves. In comparison to some sisters with relaxed hair who may not have a clue what they’re doing to themselves, natural women can be amongst the most nappy adverse, ill-informed people on the planet.

Dreadlocks Represent Poverty

BLOG-OPENS IN NEW WINDOW: A Black couple is about to end their engagement.  When bruh is on his way out the door, he adds one parting shot.  He doesn’t like her hair which happens to be styled in dreadlocks.  "Why?" you ask.  He says, "DREADLOCKS REPRESENT POVERTY."

  • Comment on My Cabbage Patch and Me by Ash
    I really like this peace. It was humbling. Thanks.

  • Comment on Is Black History Month Obsolete? by Ash
    BHM will be obsolete when black parents take the time to learn their history, take pride in it, and pass it on to their children - yes, even BEFORE the slave trade, our history does not begin with being captured from our homeland. But that won't be for a couple of centuries - there are a lot of blacks who deny their heritage because they still don't know about King Tut or Nefertiti. Stolen Legacy should be read more often

  • Comment on Black Women Make Me Sick by Ash
    Finally, here's one woman who has the guts to say it. It is truly embarrassing how the shitty Strong and independent movement lack so much street, moral, and relationship sense and skills. I know so many sister who preach this tired song. Why not Smart and Sophisticated!? That at least implies common sense. I co-sign on everything this article says - be competitive in your field, and be the best wifey to your man - you get the benefits o...

Italians and other Latin men have their openness and awesome passion! Slavic men have crazy stamina and self discip...
