Might I also suggest using an old t-shirt to dry your hair instead of a towel? Towels will often leave those lint pieces behind that gets tangled into the locs. T-shirts dries the hair without the fuzzies. I always dry mine and my client’s locs with t-shirts.😉
On dry hair and scalp, apply tea tree or peppermint essential oil (orange or lemon essential oil if the scalp is sensitive). Then apply shampoo to the scalp only with an applicator tip bottle. Cover hair with a plastic bag for 1 to 2 hours. This will allow the essential oil to kill bacteria on the scalp and give the shampoo time to break down the oil and dirt on the scalp. Then go into the shower and shampoo as usual.
Soooo, I’ve been washing them like this for 4 years because I didn’t have a tub. But I’ve found a better method (no offense). I feel like this is the cleanest my locs have been since I started. They smell SO fresh. Shampoo your locs with a clarifying ACV shampoo (I use OUAI Detox) as you would normally in the shower. Here’s the fun part: Fill up a large tupperware container with water while you shower, stick half your hair in the container to agitate the water and scrub your locs around with one hand while you hold the container with the other. Then repeat on the other side. You’ll fill up the container a total of at least 4x for mid-length hair. Now, if you have a tub, that’s what you should be using to soak your locs.✌🏽😎
Depending on your hair type, if you've bleached or using saltwater spray, you may need a diluted conditioner designed for locs, but be sure to rinse thoroughly. 😊 and for the love of your locs oil before and after..

Preference really, "dreadlocks" was a derogatory term used to identify a certain type of people back in the day, locs were see as dirty and negative. Some people have decided to reclaim that word and use it, others have decided to condem it and use locs, cuz there's nothing dreadful about our locs.
Use a silk head scarf your dreads are starting to thin in the front most likely from wearing hats or hoods and over washing your dreads will cause them to weaken in growth rate
Dreadlocks is not a bad word, people... If it's bad, then why did Bob Marley himself say dreadlock rasta in his buffalo soldier song? He didn't think it's a bad thing... Stop being extra...
U don’t supposed to do ACV rinses that often. Probably like once or twice a year cus it’s harsh on the hair. So don’t buy this product jus cus he tryin to sell it. If u buy it then use it every once in a while.

You can condition locs but most conditioners aren't designed for locs leading to build up; my loctician uses conditioner that's specifically designed for locs.
I been loc’d for 7 yrs and never used conditioner. Conditioner is made to untangle LOOSE hair. There’s no reason to condition locs cus the key word is LOCK.
First of all we’re not watching our dreads locks wrong we’re doing it perfect you’re doing it perfect two so don’t don’t tell people all you need to buy the CD by that OK they want to buy it they want to buy it but you can’t just say oh by this you can’t just do that guy
I air dry in the cool & summer months, warm blow dry in the winter. I usually wait until the weather changes to the other seasons to wash & resist. About 3 to 4 months at a time.
Your hair is meant for thick locs not them skinny shits. Your hair married at the roots, so your locs need more surface area (bigger parts). You’re losing foundation rn because strains are leaving one dread and getting tangled into another causing thin areas on the locs. At this rate you’ll have little starter locs all over the place in 3 years. Combine while your ahead
