Scalp & Style Aftercare Guide
Customized for your protective style
Maturation and root-integrity care for starter locs, sister locs, micro locs, and mature dreadlocks, preventing lint and residue buildup.
Daily Care
0 of 2 habits completed (0%)
Rosewater Hydration Mist
Mist locs lightly with pure rosewater and organic aloe. Locs need breathable moisture that penetrates the core without leaving greasy deposits.
Root Integrity & Minimal Touching
Resist excessive twisting of new growth with dry fingers between appointments; over-manipulation weakens the loc base and thins roots.
Daily Care
Rosewater Hydration Mist
Mist locs lightly with pure rosewater and organic aloe. Locs need breathable moisture that penetrates the core without leaving greasy deposits.
Root Integrity & Minimal Touching
Resist excessive twisting of new growth with dry fingers between appointments; over-manipulation weakens the loc base and thins roots.
Night Routine
Lint Defense Satin Cap or Dread Sock
Encase locs inside a breathable satin loc sock. Blanket and clothing lint easily gets trapped permanently inside the loc mesh.
Weekly Refresh
Residue-Free Cleansing
Shampoo with clear, residue-free formulas. Never use heavy creamy conditioners or creamy leave-ins on mature locs as they get trapped internally.
Thorough Core Drying
Ensure locs are completely dry to their center using a hooded dryer or warm air blower. Trapped dampness causes mildew and loc odors.
Safe Takedown
Regular Maintenance Over Reconstruction
Schedule retwists or interlocking every 4 to 6 weeks to keep parts uniform and prevent adjacent locs from growing into one another.
