Of course! But NOT dry, or you’ll just end up with tacky feeling, flaky dreads. Yuck! Instead, take a spray bottle and lightly mist your locks. Then go ahead with your gel routine. If you palmroll often (and you are…right?) you can save yourself a step by mixing a few teaspoons of gel in a spray bottle with just enough water that you won’t clog the nozzle. Shake shake shake, spray, and roll. (but hey – you do still have to palmroll after washing. No excuses.)
