onside-b asked: I think my dreads are too dry. Some of the ends of my hair have those little white bulbs if you know what I mean. I used to get them when I straightened my hair and was damaging it. Sooo, if this is due to my hair being damaged, do you have any suggestions on how to moisturize it without putting too much gunky product in my hair. Right now I just wash it and then use suave conditioner. Thank you :)
I’m actually experiencing the same dryness as well. I suffer from a very dry scalp, and it’s hard trying to avoid products that create build up in your hair, that somewhat relieve the dryness. Dry hair is also the effect of winter/cold weather. I usually follow a routine, trying to involve solely natural ingredients in order to prevent further damage. I use a spray bottle of water half way, mixed in with almond oil, and a bit of avocado oil (just a teaspoon of each or so). I found that this has helped my hair quite a lot. Whenever I feel like my hair is feeling dry I just use some of the spritz on my locs. Also, tying my hair down at night with a satin scarf, aids in keeping moisture in my hair. A cotton scarf or pillow case actually dry the hair even further. So, covering your hair is a good idea. When it comes to washing your hair, try using a shampoo that is natural, instead of the generic shampoo brands, those tend to dry out you hair as well.
