Now that we have the Knotty Boy LockSteady Tropical Tightening Gel we don't generally recommend homemade salt-based accelerator sprays because we've heard so many horror stories about dreads drying out, breaking off and scalps being burned by the salt. Our Gel is sooo good because its main ingredient is aloe vera which is both soothing and tightening, and traditionally used by Rastafarians for this exact purpose.

If you still want to make your own salt-based spray, add the juice of one lemon or a dash of RealLemon to a sprayer bottle full of warm to hot water and 2 to 3 tablespoons of sea salt, shake well, and spray a few times a week. Spray only on your locks, not on your scalp, and be sure to be careful and adjust the solution to your needs. If you make it too strong, you'll burn your scalp and dreads off!
