blackbeatnik asked: Thanks! I was just wondering what products you recommend for moisturizing and such. I just got them started yesterday so I won't do anything to them today or probably tomorrow. But I was wondering because I know I can't do the same things I did when I had my fro right?

Hey there! Well the most important thing when it comes to using  anything on your dreadlocks is to remember that build up is your #1 enemy lol. Using alot of product on your hair can essentially create build up in your locs, which becomes very difficult to wash out. Stay away from waxes! In the beginning stages of my dread journey I used wax and gel to retwist my locs. However, I realized that build up was apparent in a few of my locs. I eventually stopped using heavy products in my hair. To moisturize I do a daily spritz of water from a spray bottle, and add a bit of almond oil and avocado oil. If you are experiencing itchiness you can add a few drops of tea tree oil mixed with water and spritz your hair. However, tea tree is very concentrated, so only add a very small amount to avoid rashes to the skin/scalp.  Make sure you tie your hair down with a satin or silk scarf, or try sleeping with a silk pillowcase on your pillow. Avoid cotton scarves/pillowcases, for they suck moisture out of your hair. If you do wish to use product in your hair, make sure they contain 100% natural ingredients, or very close to 100% natural.

Goodluck!
