Question

Can you wash your hair after you crochet hook it?

Becca

Community Answer

It is normally recommended to wait a few days before washing your dreads. This is to prevent frizz and the dreads becoming loose.

Question

Does this work for short or medium hair?

Community Answer

Yes! It doesn’t matter what your hair looks like. You can always try different hairstyles like buns, and you can also use bobby pins to create your own hairstyles.

Question

How can I restore my crochet dreads to normal after they become frizzy and loose?

Abigail Luhar

Community Answer

Shampoo regularly using a clarifying shampoo and skip the conditioner. Wash your hair every few weeks to keep your scalp clean and avoid tangles. Moisturize with essential oils like lavender, avoiding food-based oils to prevent odors. Use a crochet hook or tweezers to tuck in loose hairs and keep your dreads neat.

Question

Does the crochet method make locs mature faster?

Abigail Luhar

Community Answer

The crochet technique creates very tight and mature locs almost immediately, giving them a sophisticated appearance. It requires minimal maintenance and is known for its sturdiness, allowing mature locs to withstand wear and tear from pulling and tugging.
