GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL SETS:
I. WASH / SWIM
They can and should be washed, all types of sets that you can buy in our store!
Wash your hair no more than once a week.
It helps if you mix some your regular shampoo with water – Dilute shampoo in proportions of 1 (shampoo) to 5-10 (water). And then pour it over your head and lather, concentrating on the scalp.
You don’t need to worry too much about washing the dreads themselves, because they are made of synthetic fiber and don’t really attract oil and dust.
Don’t rub with a towel after washing.
You can dive or swim – both in the sea/ocean and in the pool!
One installation – is enough for 2-3 months.
Depends only on the growth rate of your own hair!
All our sets – reusable, a set can be used several times, each time for 2-3 months.
These are safe dreadlocks, your hair will be fine!
II. YOU DON`T NEED TO USE OIL
We do not recommend using oils, they are only needed for curls made of cheap materials – so that these oils slightly glue low-quality cheap fluffy hair.
But in addition to gluing, the use of oils leads to faster and stronger contamination of the hairstyle – since oil not only glues the hairs, but also dust and dirt stick to it.
We use only premium materials for production. You do not need to use oil!
III. OUR SETS DON`T NEED DETOX
We only use the highest quality materials and hair for production, they are not coated with chemicals.
Detox is only needed for cheap materials (and sets made from them), we do not use such materials at all.
We make all our sets with clean hands, clean tools, in a clean smoke-free studio, but we still wash and dry each set before shipping so that they are completely ready for installation when the package arrives.
SEPARATE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH TYPE (in addition to the general I, II, III):
1. DREADLOCKS MAINTENANCE.
No special care for dreadlocks and braids – not required!
2. CURLS MAINTENANCE.
During the first two weeks after installation, 1-2 times a day, you need to separate them from each other with wet hands!
This is necessary for the natural formation of curly dreadlocks. Then they just become “curly dreadlocks” / they will MATURE – and no further special care is needed.
Be sure to braid in 1-2 braids at night.
Don’t brush your curls!
Washing, drying for CURLS – all as with dreadlocks (described above).
3. BRUSHABLE CURLS MAINTENANCE.
You need to gently separate the curls with wet hands every day.
Brush them at least 2–3 times a week using a soft brush without beads on the tips. Always start brushing from the ends and slowly work your way up. A detangling spray is very helpful.
Never use oils – they glue the fibers together and damage the curls.
You can periodically use any softening spray – it helps keep the material softer and smoother.
To reduce tangling during sleep, it’s best to braid them into 1–2 loose braids at night, or at least tie them into a low ponytail.
If you want them to stay wavy/curly and don’t plan to brush them – they will visually look almost the same – simply avoid brushing them during wear. In this case, you can also use a small amount of curly-hair products made for natural curls – they help the curls keep their shape and stay slightly clumped.
And just like other synthetic non-brushable curls, they will “mature” over time.
Washing, drying – all as with dreadlocks (described above).
For brushable curls – it is better to use a hair mask or conditioner during every wash.
Keep away DREADS, BRAIDS AND CURLS from high temperatures – Hair dryer-can’t be used!
Never use a curling wand or flat iron for regular dreads/braids/curls!
They are made of a different material, NOT like locs with RAPUNZEL ends!
4. LOCS WITH RAPUNZEL ENDS – MAINTENANCE.
If you want them to always have their hair loose:
Brush them with a comb every day!
And at least 3-4 times a week – using any hair detangling spray.
You can use a curling wand or a flat iron for the RAPUNZEL ends!
STRAIGHTEN or CURL them at any time!
If you want them to stay that way (wavy/curly), without being able to straighten them, just don’t brush them once during use!
And just like curls, they’ll mature!
Be sure to braid in 1-2 braids at night.
Washing for RAPUNZEL ends – all as with dreadlocks (described above).
Hair dryer-can’t be used!
5. CARING FOR DECORATIONS (jewelry, beads, feathers)
Hair dryer-can’t be used for dreads!
But feathers (if your set contains them) – you can dry them with a hair dryer and they will be as good as new!
Beads and jewelry in your set may darken over time from the use of water, or darken from dust – but there is no need to do anything specifically with them, and there is no need to remove them for the time of washing.
You can always clean them, the same way you clean any tarnished jewelry.
Or replace them with new ones.
