Natural Remedies to Lock in Moisture in Locs

Using natural remedies to lock in moisture in locs is the way to go, if you want your hair to look soft and beautiful. One of the worst things is when your dreads become so dry and brittle, that it starts to break. You shouldn’t wait until it reach to that point.

There are so many natural home remedies that you can use to restore or lock in moisture in your hair. This is my third year of growing dreadlocks, and I’m pleased to present you with these informative tips that I’ve learned along the way.

Knowing When Your Dreads Need Moisture

Knowing your hair and identifying when it’s lacking in moisture, is critical to the health of your locs. Some people hair requires more moisture than others. There are usually little warning signs that you should not ignore.

Can Your Locs Talk to You?

Although your hair doesn’t have a voice per se, it can talk to you, by the appearance of your locs. One of the most common telltale signs that your locs is lacking in moisture, is if they always look dry and feel stiff. That’s when you know your dreads are crying out for thirst.

Naturally Moisturizing Locs

Use a leave-in conditioner for your locs. You can’t simply choose anything that says it’s good for hair, but make sure you pick something that won’t leave build-up in your locs.

Daily Moisturizing Dreadlocks

Create a daily moisturizing routine, and be consistent with it. Your roots also needs attention. You can’t just take care of your strands of locs, but neglect the roots. The roots are where the nourishment comes from, which gives your locs the luster and softness.

Watering Your Locs Daily

When I say watering, I don’t mean that your locs should be saturated with water. Spritzing your hair is enough. Create your own natural home remedy to moisturize locs. All you need is a few inexpensive items such as an empty spray bottle, to spritz your hair daily, water, and some of your favorite natural oils.

Create Home Remedy to Moisturize Locs

With the above inexpensive items, you can make your own home remedy for dry locs. Get your natural oils, add some water to the spray bottle.

Each day when you’re ready to do your daily regimen, simply shake the bottle so that the oils and water mix together, then spray a light mist of the content from the bottle onto your dreads. After spritzing your locs, massage it into your hair, starting from the roots down to the ends.

Sealing in Moisture in Dreads

After moisturizing your locs, use oils such as jojoba oil and grapeseed oil, to seal in the moisture. Each time you wash our locs, your hair loses moisture, so this is perfect to apply after you put in your leave-in moisturizer. These oils are also great for preventing dry scalp.

Preventing Loss of Moisture

When we sleep at nights, we lose moisture from our hair. Therefore, it is best to sleep with your locs covered. It is recommended that you sleep on a silk pillow case or tie your dreads before sleeping, with a satin or silk bonnet, or headscarf. This will help your dreads retain moisture, while protecting your hair from breakage and other damages.
