Bi-annual dread maintenance routine

Dreadlock deep cleanse

Every six months I do a deep cleanse for my hair. Some people will do it every 3 months (four times a year) but unless your hair is super dirty, I wouldn’t do it more than twice a year. Overdoing it can loosen up your locs.

A deep cleanse helps to remove anything that has gotten stuck in your dreads over time, such as dirt. You’ll start with a clean bucket of water and essential oils and end up with a bucket of brown water. I was surprised how dirty my hair was the first time I did it.
