1. No conditioner
Don’t use any conditioner on your hair 1-2 weeks before you braid your dreads in. This conditioner makes your hair smooth and soft and makes your hair frizz faster when your Dreadlocks are braided in.
2. Make your hair wet when installing Dreads
Make your hair wet when installing the dreads, then you start without any frizz. You can install your Dreads after showering when all your hair is wet, or use a (plant) spray during the installation.
3. Wear a NightCap to cover your Dreadlocks
Sleep with a Night Cap. This really helps a lot!! Your hair will then have no friction on your pillow and will really frizz less quickly!
4. Don’t wash your Dreads too often
Don’t wash it too often. Once a week or less is fine.
5. Use a Spray Shampoo to wash your Dreads
When you wash the Dreadlocks, use a Spray Shampoo. This shampoo does not need to be massaged on your hair and scalp, so your hair will also frizz less quickly.
6. Use a Conditioning Spray on your Dreads
Use a Conditioning Spray to get the frizz toned.
7. Cover the frizz!
When you wear the dreads longer and you have frizz, cover it up with a Headband or Dreadbeanie!
