The Who, What, When, Where, Why & How of Dreadlocks Care!If you've come here, you probably have dreadlocks which means you also have a ton of questions.
Dreadlocking isn't a science and there aren't many tried and true ways to maintain healthy dreadlocks and much of the advice offered by locticians and other professionals is contradictory or confusing.
One of the main reasons why suggestions vary is that how you approach your dreadlocks greatly depends upon the method used to start them, your maintenance routine, hair texture, time factors, diet, etc...
Therefore with regard to some issues, if you're not right in front of the loctician, if your hair isn't being maintained by the same person giving the advice, it may be difficult to find solutions to your particular problem.
Because there are varying opinions, discovering which advice is best may be difficult. But this is were naani.com comes in.
We've sifted through the stuff, the fluff, the off the wall suggestions that tell you to use toothpaste and super glue to come up with a list of reputable information, suggestions and explainations.
Review the information in the Dreadlocks Frequently Asked Questions section and hopefully, you will be able to find some helpful information.
If not, it's up to you to decide if you can remedy the problem on your own or if you need to seek professional advice.
Either way, it might be a good idea to get a professional consultation before tackling the problem on your own. You never know what the loctician might suggest after reviewing your hair. You may end up with a gem of advice or something you want to throw in the trash.
