Have you been wearing your dreads for years, or did you get them very recently?
Either way, one thing is certain: your locs deserve far more than an improvised hair routine.
Dreadlocks are much more than a style. They are an affirmation of identity, an artistic statement, the reflection of a natural beauty that is embraced and magnificent. But behind their apparent sturdiness lies thirsty hair, a scalp that demands attention, and a hair fiber that benefits from being pampered with the right habits.
Whitish residue, persistent dryness, an itchy scalp, locs that struggle to form or soften after washing… If you recognise any of these signs, this guide is for you.
JIA Paris supports you with an expert, gentle approach that deeply respects the specific nature of textured hair and locs.
Welcome to the locks routine your hair has been waiting for!
For results that live up to your expectations, opt for a complete routine that supports your locs at every stage of their care and meets their specific needs.
- A monthly routine will let you provide complementary care to address their main concerns.
- A weekly routine will ensure regular, appropriate care to preserve its balance and health.
- Daily habits will help you maintain their hydration, shine and hold, to showcase your hair day after day.
1. The monthly routine
Hydrate your scalp
Locked hair is particularly prone to dry scalp. The structure of locs makes it harder for sebum to spread, which can disrupt its balance and encourage dryness.
It often shows up as a feeling of tightness, itching and the appearance of dry dandruff flakes.
The 3-in-1 Oil Synergy is then perfectly suited to providing regular hydration to the scalp.
Before washing, do an oil bath on your scalp with the Jia Paris 3 in 1 Oil Synergy .
Get rid of residue
Locs are also more likely to accumulate residue, both on the lengths and on the scalp.
In the long run, this build-up can weigh down locs, dull their appearance and disrupt the balance of the hair.
This is where the Clarifying Shampoo becomes your best ally, exfoliating and purifying your hair fibre without stripping it. Its formula, free from harsh sulphates, cleanses deeply without irritating or leaving deposits.
When washing, apply the Clarifying Shampoo directly to your scalp, then rinse thoroughly.
2. The weekly routine
The foundation of a successful regular routine is washing.
You still sometimes hear that dreads shouldn't be washed too often or they will come undone.
This misconception dies hard, and yet it is false. A clean scalp is the number 1 condition for healthy, well-formed locs.
In reality, it is above all the choice of shampoo and the washing technique that make all the difference.
The technique for washing your hair without damaging it
Co-Wash is a particularly suitable solution for preserving the integrity of your locs. This gentle cleansing treatment is the perfect alternative to sulphate-free shampoo: it gently cleanses the scalp while giving them care!
The way you handle your hair matters just as much!
- Lightly dilute your shampoo in a cup of water before applying it for better distribution over the whole scalp.
- Gently massage the scalp with your thumbs: never rub the locs themselves vigorously.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs perfectly clear. Product residue is often the cause of whitish deposits.
- Press (don't twist) your locs in a microfiber towel to absorb water without creating frizz or weakening their structure.
- Always dry right to the core of the loc: incomplete drying encourages internal mildew, invisible but harmful.
Drying and finishing: strengthen your hair
Once your locs are dry, apply the 10-in-1 Multiprotect Spray to your hair to protect it from external aggressors.
Finish with 2 to 3 drops of Growth Lotion on your scalp to stimulate growth and fight the hair loss often linked to breakage.
3. The daily routine
Your hair deserves to look beautiful every day, not just after washing.
Give your lengths and scalp the daily hydration they need, and enjoy healthy, strong and soft locs.
The morning touch:
Spray the 10-in-1 Spray Multiprotect on your locs to reactivate your hair fiber's hydration.
Apply the 3-in-1 Oil Synergy to dry or irritated areas of your scalp to create an environment that supports hair growth.
The evening touch:
Apply 2 to 3 drops of the Growth Lotion while gently massaging the scalp to boost hair growth. Your volume will thank you!
