Form and Function - Caring for Dreadlocks
It's what you use and it's how you use it.  As I'm sure you've learned by now, caring for Dreadlocks isn't a science, but it does require finessing of your maintenance skills and techniques.

Whether you want salon perfect dreadlocks, a maintained look with a bit of edge or dreadlocks that grow and look organic, your technique often dictates your dreadlocks appearance appearance overall moreso than products ever will. 

You must first and foremost understand that hair needs to be healthy in order to look healthy.  Too many people make the mistake of assuming that dreadlocks are

a maintenance free style.  They often engage in practices that are detrimental to the health of their hair and subsequently their dreadlocks.  Never forget that dreadlocks are and will always be hair.  Where the way you approach your hair may be totally different from what you're accustomed to with other hair styles, you shouldn't disregard normal hair care practices.

In the end, if your maintenance techniques are unhealthy, your hair will be unhealthy...your dreadlocks will therefore look unhealthy.  Once you have secured a proper care routine for your hair, then you can focus on products. 

A good dreadlocks product will not only hold, but will add a degree of sheen that is sufficient for most hair textures.  Meaning, your hair won't be oily and the outer layers of your dreadlocks will look shiny and healthy.  But even the best product can't transform your hair if you're using it incorrectly.

So before you take our product suggestions, be sure to review the Dreadlocks Maintenance and Frequently Asked Questions areas.  When you know what to do and what not to do, that increases your chances of getting the dreadlocks look that you desire.
