Wanderlust Dreadlocks

New Dreadlock Creation 💫

“Dreadlocks are a Journey” - completely cliche, completely true!

Your first year is a PROCESS, not a finished product.

Expect frizz. Expect shrinkage. Expect changes in thickness and shape. Expect some days where you LOVE them and some days where you wonder what you’ve done.

Trust the process, look after your scalp, keep them clean and let your hair do its thing. 🖤

A base/regrowth maintenance session can make such a difference to your mature dreadlocks!

Educational Post ✨

These two photos are the same client on the creation day of two seperate loc journeys. The one on the left was by another Loctician and the one of the right was by me.

These creations, whilst on the same head of hair will result in two very different looking dreadlocks as they mature. My client wanted thinner dreads and going by the texture of her hair I knew I had to make them as thin as possible as this type hair texture does thicken a lot during the maturing process.

The creation on the left resulted in quite thick locs that my client wasn’t happy with and resulted in her brushing them out and starting her loc journey again.

The intention of this post is not to call out anyone’s work - it’s to share with people that it’s important to find a Loctician who understands hair texture, understands how your locs will mature over time, takes into consideration your lifestyle and time commitment for at home care and does a thorough consult to discuss your expectations and the dreadlock look you’re wanting to achieve. Ask ALL the questions and make sure you’re happy with the person you’ve chosen to start your dreadlock journey - the creation day is the foundation of your loc journey - you need and want to get it right ❤️
