Caring for your dreadlocks properly is essential for them to stay looking groomed and in good condition, so read the follow article for our advice on how to do this. Advice for new dreads Keeping your dreads in good nick while they’re new will mean they lock up and develop into dreads more quickly than if you leave them alone, in as little time as two months, but it varies on the kind of hair you have. After putting in your dreads, they’ll be waxy and fragile so sleep on a pillow case you don’t feel sentimental towards because you’ll get wax all over it, and tie the dreads up if you can so to avoid the dreads matting or dislodging. In order for the new dreads to dry out, don’t shampoo your scalp for a week. After the first week, feel free to shampoo your scalp with a dread shampoo when it’s needed, followed by a re-waxing of any dislodged hairs when the hair has dried. A clean scalp is good for dreads as it promotes knottiness in the hair. **End Summary** Topics: Dreadlock Care]]> Manic Panic]]> DreadHeadHQ]]> Knotty Boy]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jo Mannix - www.idare.com.au - Alternative Hair Care including hair Dye and Dreadlock Care by Knotty Boy , DreadHeadHQ and Manic Panic

This article will explain how to effectively use Manic Panic’s range of semi-permanent hair colours so you get the most luminous and long-lasting results. Introductory information Manic Panic Hair Color uses natural ingredients with no harmful chemicals and tends to sit on the surface of the hair follicle. This means the effect on your hair be the result of a range of factors including which colour you’re using, the present shade and condition of your hair. You’ll get the most dazzling colour by colouring bleached, tinted or porous hair. Pre-lightening your hair is even more essential if you would like a lighter colour or pastel shade as the final result. Follow the instructions that come with a bleaching product, such as the Manic Panic Flash Lightning Complete Bleach Kit. A strand test is a very good idea, as you can then be fairly certain that the colour you’ve chosen will give you the result you want. We highly recommend doing a skin patch test before colouring your hair: Pick an area that isn’t easily seen about 2.5 centimetres in diameter and clean with a mild soap and water. **End Summary** Topics: Dreadlock Care]]> DreadHeadHQ]]> Knotty Boy]]> Manic Panic]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jo Mannix - www.idare.com.au - Alternative Hair Care including hair Dye and Dreadlock Care by Knotty Boy , DreadHeadHQ and Manic Panic
