Question: How Long Do Dreads Last & How Do I Care For My Dreadlocks?

Question: How long do synthetic dreadlocks last and what is their care?

Anwser: We haven't met the end of the lifespan of our dreads yet. We've worn them repeatedly and over time for the past three years and have not found them to fall apart or become more fragile. In fact, the dreadlocks only seem to become tighter with time and age.

You would care for your dreadlocks the same as you would your real hair. Don't burn them or cut them unless you want the style and shape to change drastically. Just like with your real hair, once a dread is cut it doesn't go back together.

Wash your dreads regularly just as you would your real hair. Our dreads are sturdy and made to last. They only seem to get stronger and more durable with washing and caring for them. It is important to scrub your scalp to make sure you are keeping it clean. Take some shampoo in the palm of your hand and smother the dreads with it until you have a nice lather. Wash the dreads thoroughly and regularly to ensure they stay fresh, clean, bright and vibrant!

We backcomb our dreads. They are not loose and there is no worry about them falling apart due to washing or any other hygiene reason. Feel free to use all the shampoo you wish on a regular basis! Do not bleach or dye your hair while wearing synthetic or wool dreads. They fibers cannot handle the chemicals and the dreads will not react well. Shampoo is good!
