Okay, here's our recommendation. If you want to dye your dreadies lots, and in the future lots more, then we suggest you get some synthetic dreads in the colours you like and attached those to your locks whenever you feel the urge for colour (check out our salon pics to see what we're talking about). Like we've said before hair color on dreads, especially bleach, is ok occasionally, but it can be extremely damaging if done too much. The hair itself can get so damaged from the repeated bleaching out the dyes and depositing colour and they just start breaking off. Not good.

So that's why we suggest faking it. You can try making your own or make a trip into our Lock Shop and Salon where we can add any color of the rainbow to your head o' dreads!

We also recommend colouring your hair at a salon as professional products are much less damaging then drugstore ones; they also end up looking much better In terms of bleaching, the best thing to do is touch up your roots on a regular basis so that you can avoid having to even touch the actual dreads with dye more than once. Try not to overlap dye jobs; it just damages your hair more and more.

If you do wind up colouring yourself, make sure you buy enough to make sure you can really saturate the locks. Don't forget to RINSE RINSE RINSE!! Rinse it for AT LEAST 5 minutes or until your friends can’t detect that chemical smell-fest on your locks anymore.

We also would recommend anyone that's coloring or bleaching their dreads to pick up our Knotty Boy Shampoo Bar, because bleaching your scalp is a really good way to get dandruff and your gonna want to use something that helps keep your scalp healthy and itchy-free. The shampoo is great for anyone wanting to keep their scalp healthy, not just dreadheads, by the way!
