Although my dreadlocks are almost six-years-old, I still take time to treat them the best, and so should you. It doesn’t take a lot of neglect to damage your dreads, leaving them dry, dull, and stiff. All this neglect can cause your dreads to start breaking in areas that you would not be happy with.
My Freeform Dreadlocks
With my dreads being so mature, I sometimes leave it semi-freeform, meaning I don’t retwist as often as I used to. I like to give my hair a break sometimes so the roots can get thicker and stronger. I notice that if I retwist too often, the roots tend to get a little thinner. On the other hand, I don’t like going too long either without retwisting because my roots gets tangled up real bad, and when I try to separate them, I break a few of my precious strands.
When I do leave it freeform, I always brush the roots occasionally to keep them from matting up and to help stimulate my scalp. Along with brushing your freefrom dreads, oiling your scalp with the right natural oils for dreadlocks, is essential.
My Honest Review of African Pride Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner
I recently tried the African Pride Shea Butter Miracle Leave-In Conditioner, and was really pleased with it. Since it’s a bit thick, I added some organic aloe vera to it before applying it, prior to doing my retwist.
I must say that the smell is really refreshing and long-lasting. This is the perfect solution for smelly locs, so your hair smell nicer, longer. My locs smelled nice days after I retwisted it with the shea butter leave-in conditioner. 
It made my dreadlocks soft and bouncy. Also, the aloe vera in combination with the shea butter kept my frizz down. That’s a big plus for me, especially the freeform areas that tend to get frizzy during the day.
This leave-in conditioner is also great to detangle natural hair, create moisture, and does not leave any residue when it dries. Some leave-in conditioner makes your hair dry and coarse, but I haven’t experienced that problem with this. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to add a little life to the their dreadlocks or natural hair.
