From lint to lice, unlike loose hair, you can't brush the inner core of Dreadlocks so learn how to shield them from potential harm.

Always sleep with a silk or satin scarf or pillow-case because it protects the hair from lint and will help retain moisture. In addition, use some covering for the hair when putting on shirts/sweaters as dreadlocks tend to pick up lint very easily.

Lice are a threat to some Locwearers. Although this isn't typically a problem for blacks or dreadlocked hair, it's better to be safe than sorry.  If you have small children, take the necessary precautions to prevent infestation.


During winter months, it's a good idea to find some sort of head covering such as a tam, crown or head wrap. Your dreadlocks are very susceptible to cold and so is your scalp.  During this time of the year your dreadlocks and skin will suffer from dryness and cracking. 

Luckily, you can purchase a variety of stylish tams, headwraps, Rasta crowns and kufis conveniently and inexpensively online.  Visit the RASTA HATS, KUFIS link here on naani.com.
