My good friend Harry was with me again recently. I think it was around two months ago that he last had his roots maintained. This time, he wanted just a quick touch-up because he’s heading back to Germany from the Algarve for a few months.
Harry works a lot in the garden, so his mane had already become quite wild and messy again. Within just two hours, I gave his 40 locks a quick, natural crochet maintenance. I didn’t make them too tight or pull them too firmly towards the scalp — I simply kept everything natural, just the way he likes it.
With fresh and young dreadlocks, there’s really no need to pull them aggressively or make them extremely tight against the scalp. They should always be maintained gently and naturally, without being too harsh or putting too much tension on the roots. If you’ve gone a longer time without maintenance, then of course a more intensive session can be done.
Thank you, Harry! See you next time!
