I Have Natural Dredlocks For 28 Months, My Problem Is Dandruff

Question

I have natural dredlocks for 28 months, my problem is dandruff and breakage around the hair line. Please help?

Answer

Hello Thokozani

My recommendation is to ensure that your scalp is kept super clean with weekly shampooing and treating it using Dark and Lovely 3 in 1 shampoo followed by an application of Dark and Lovely ULTRA Cholesterol to intensely nourish your naturally dry hair. The breakage is coming from the way that your dreds are being locked. Way too tight on the finer hair around the hairline. Ensure that this is done less aggressively and with less stress and pulling on the hair.

Warm regards
Heidi
