  • Ingredients

Utilizing the age-old dreadlock-accelerating properties of pure Aloe Vera, and combined in a smoothie of Vitamins and Hempseed Oil for tender loving hair care, this tropical party-in-a-jar is also an alternative to concentrated salt-based dreadlock accelerator sprays.

Knotty Boy Locksteady Tropical Tightening Gel tightens and replenishes dreads with pure Aloe Vera instead, which has been used traditionally by Rastafarians for grooming and strengthening dreadlocks.

A fantastic wash-out alternative for starting and maintaining dreadlocks, wax-free.

  1. Wet hair, and rub a tablespoon of Gel into your palms
  2. Run your gel-smeared hands down small bundles of locks from scalp to ends
  3. Palm-roll each dread. For maximum hold, palm-roll again while still tacky.
  4. Allow locks to air dry, or use a hairdryer on ‘Low’ to dry locks completely.
  5. For quick lock-tightening on the go, try mixing 1 part Gel to 3 parts water, add to a Spritzer Bottle, shake well and spray lightly all over. Palm roll if desired to bring frizzies and loose hair under control.
