Color can perk up your look, but it’s best to use all natural coloring agents. Henna is great to use! Chemicals are harsh, and possibly dangerous when left in your hair or absorbed in your scalp. It is difficult to wash the chemicals out of your locks. If you feel that you absolutely must have your hair colored with chemicals, hire a professional stylist who specializes in dreadlocks. Traditional hair stylists may or may not know how to work with dreadlocks; therefore, it is best that you seek stylists who work with natural or chemical-free hair. Patience is the key to having beautiful, healthy dreadlocks. Your hair will go through an ugly phase, but stick through it! It’s worth it, and you’ll have a head full of lovely locks in the end.
