Refreshening Spray is perfect for in-between washes to refresh the scalp, soothe irritation, and hydrate dreadlocks. Spray as needed, as it will absorb and nourish your hair or wash off the next time you wash your hair. You can also focus on the scalp to relieve itching or irritation. Cleansing Spray is used to cleanse the scalp in between washes without having to fully wash the hair. Section your dreadlocks and spray on your scalp, then use a damp washcloth or exfoliating cloth to gently pat your scalp and remove any excess oil, dirt or debris. 

A little goes a long way with all of our products!! We recommend starting with a quarter sized amount, rubbing your palms together and running your hands through clean, damp dreadlocks to help disperse the product. We recommend after washing or spraying with Tightening Spray or Refreshening Spray to apply to damp hair, this will help with disbursement, as the Gel is a concentrated thick consistency. If too much product is applied, simply wet your hands or spray hair with water to dilute the excess product.  

We recommend detoxing your dreadlocks 2-4 times a year depending upon your occupation and lifestyle. One bag will generally be enough for your whole head, however if your dreadlocks are mature and never been detoxed, two bags may be necessary for back to back applications.

We recommend starting with a dime sized amount, rubbed between your palms and applied directly to dry dreadlocks. For severe dandruff or scalp issues, apply directly to the scalp as a pretreatment before shampooing or to spot treat, apply and remove with a dry cloth. 

Beeswax is not water soluble and has a high-melting point, which means no matter how hard you scrub or hot your water, it’s nearly impossible to remove beeswax from dreads. This can cause build-up and eventually lead to trapped moisture and even mold. Our pomade is bee-free, formulated to wash out with shampoo and water. Work great to tame fly-aways while leaving hair nourished, protected and hydrated. 

Tightening Gel is a concentrated product that will encourage new growth to tighten, nourish with protein for damaged hair and tame fly-aways, keeping everything neat and tidy. We highly recommend it for new dreadlocks as it will help accelerate the locking process. Tightening Spray is also a concentrated product however since it's a spray, it can be applied as needed as often as you like! We always say "a little goes a long way" since you really don't need to apply much for it to be effective. Both will wash out upon shampooing. 

Young dreadlocks are newly formed “soft” dreadlocks, while mature dreads are established and “firm.” This can depend on a lot of factors, including your hair type and maintenance routine, but a general rule of thumb is that dreadlocks a year and older are “mature.”

A number of our products contain phthalate-free fragrance oils, which can be derived from a number of sources (which are often proprietary). Any product containing an ingredient considered a "fragrance" under EU cosmetic labeling guidelines will have this ingredient declared in its ingredients list, which we always encourage customers to review before purchase. Common allergens contained by any fragrance or essential oils in our products will also be listed with italicized lettering. Many of these allergens are naturally occurring, such as linalool which is found in mint, laurel, and citrus plants. 

The ingredient in the Lavender Sky scent that must be listed as fragrance is a "Nature Identical Oil", meaning it has a chemical structure that is exactly the same as its naturally occurring counterpart. A man-made copy of what exists in nature, so to speak.

Unscented does not necessarily mean it has no scent, it just means we do not add fragrance or essential oils to it to create a scent. Our raw ingredients will still have their own natural scent, which is what you are smelling. 

We do not use chemical emulsifiers or stabilizers; this is why some of our products will have natural separation. Just shake up the bottle before use and you are good to go.
