How often should you retwist locs?

The frequency of retwisting depends on whether you are in the starter loc phase or have mature locs. It also depends on the type of locs you have, your hair type, and the method you use to retwist them. Starter locs should be washed once a month, no more than once every six weeks. If you interlock, you can go up to eight weeks without retwisting.

Should you sleep with your dreadlocks covered? We recommend that you sleep with your dreadlocks covered. You’ll reduce the possibility of breakage. If you toss and turn while sleeping and your dreadlocks are exposed, you may pull them during the night.

How frequently should I crochet my dreadlocks?

As a general rule, I recommend learning on fake hair first and then only crocheting your roots every 2-3 months. That’s an excellent way to avoid 90 percent of the damage you might otherwise sustain.

Can I let my dreads dry naturally?

If they’re still damp before going to bed, use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. I wouldn’t recommend letting your locs air dry if you wash them at night. If you don’t have a blow dryer, squeeze as much water as you can out of them.
