Be Patient when starting to grow your dreads. Being patient will help you in the long run when deciding to grow your hair.

Phase 2: Maintaining The New Dread Look

*Though it may be stressful to have your  hair not at the desired length yet but trust me with a few healthy hair tips you will swinging your dreads in no time.*

So how to maintain your dreads you may be asking well let me tell you how:

Step 1: Keeping The Scalp Moisturized

• Jamaican Mango & Lime Loc Gro

Is used when people first start growing their dreads and need to add sheen and shine to their hair. It smells really great and really amazing to use.

• Cantu Moisturizer

This product is used for hair that is not awaiting the loc stage but for locs and natural unlocked hair. Cantu is a great product to use (As well as all their other products)

• Hairbonics All Natural Locs and Braid Spray

Hairbonics is used specifically for dreads and braids. So if you haven't trusted a word I said which you should then at least trust Hairbonics.


Once you've got the scalp and shine part down packed it's time to move onto the shampooing and conditioning.

Step 2: Know Your Shampoo 

• Jamaican Mango & Lime

You'll be surprised that just like the conditioner of Jamaican Mango & Lime Loc Gro that YES you've guessed it the shampoo works to do just the exact same thing.

• Dread Head HQ

Dread Head HQ is one of those products where if you have dreads then you should or should've already owned, used, and loved this product. I t has an attractive smell and you will love how it grooms and cleans the dreads. Whether it's just a few pieces of dandruff to a scalp that reminds you of Frosted Flakes Dread Head HQ is the best friend in the hair bag.

• Cantu can be used as well or even some of the ones you may already be using.

Number 1 Rule To Great, Soft, Healthy Hair Is...................................................................

Stay away (and I do mean far away) from products that contain Sulfate. Sulfate is a chemical that will dry your hair out whether your growing dreads or not. Absolutely stay away from the sulfate. If you spend 20 mins looking for shampoo and conditioner because your reading the labels then you care more about your hair than anyone who grabs and goes.
