Molding Mama's Mane

There seems to be confusion with some people about why someone chooses to have dreads and how they are maintained. One myth is that the hair has to be dirty in order to lock, but the opposite is actually true. In order for the hair to naturally lock and the process to go smooth, it's best for the hair to be clean. For anyone wondering whether or not I can wash my hair, the answer is yes! People choose to create hair locks for various reasons, for some it's a spiritual decision, some a religious one, and others just a hairstyle. But generally it is understood that no matter what leads someone to create dreads, they do represent a type of lifestyle. Some people do misunderstand how to take care of their locks, or may choose to let their hair get "dirty", or don't allow the process to be organic because their hair isn't locking without synthetic products helping it along. Perhaps this leads others to perceive that locks are gross or dirty, however, I can and will wash, condition and maintain my scalp and hair. Both with a dry shampoo (sea salt, vinegar, organic herbs & oil) blend, and also with a normal water rinse. Not only are locks not dirty, locks on men & women are appealing to me, unique and beautiful.
