CONQUER HYGEINE BATTLES WITH CLEAN DREADLOCKS
In the epic saga of life, our dreadlocks often bear witness to battles fierce and relentless. Sweeping us into their embrace, they absorb the grit of our daily conquests - sweat, dirt, oils, dandruff, and even the blood of our enemies.
Unlike those dirty warriors of old, we ourselves must master the art of cleanliness and wield our hygiene as a mighty weapon.
THE “NEW” VIKING WAY- GOOD HYGEINE!
Picture this: You, a modern-day Viking, are standing at the edge of a tumultuous sea, gazing out at the vast horizon. Your dreadlocks, like a lion's mane frame your face, but are dripping with dirt from recent raids. Our ancestors would simply bathe in the closest fjord, using herbs and salt water to rub into their lokks to extinguish the smell of dreadlock rot and filth.
Nowdays we have access to a huge variety of hair care products so it’s best we learn how to choose and use them!
DREADLOCK ROT: THE FOE OF ALL WARRIORS
Dreadlock rot, the nefarious adversary, emerges when proper dreadlock hygiene is forsaken. This malevolent force thrives in the hidden realms of dirt, oils, and sweat within your lokks, creating a moist haven for foul bacteria and fungi.
The outcome… a scalp besieged by itching, a mane exuding an unpleasant odor, and in the direst of circumstances, the loss of your beloved dreadlocks.
VIKING CLEANLINESS: YOUR WEAPON OF CHOICE
Unlike in the Viking age, these modern times call for cleanliness. Here are the steps to help you maintain your dreadlocks like a true warrior:
1. The Cleansing Ritual: Like the cleansing of ancient runes, your dreadlocks require regular washing once a week or so with a gentle shampoo free from residue, sulfates and parabens. Lather up and cleanse away the grime, all while preserving the strength and integrity of your locks.
2. Choosing Wisely: Be vigilant in selecting your grooming products. Heavy oils and treacherous substances can infiltrate your lokks, sowing the seeds of dreadlock rot. Select your allies wisely; they must be loyal to your cause. In the realm of dreadlocks, the market teems with a vast array of elixirs, each promising to unleash the power of the gods upon your lokks. Fret not, for the path to choosing the right one need not be a labyrinthine quest. In true Viking fashion, simply elect your favorite brand or scent and ensure it bears the banner of "reside-free."
3. The Simplicity of Viking Choice:
In the spirit of our Viking ancestors, we must remind ourselves that complexity often yields no greater rewards. When it comes to maintaining the health of your dreadlocks, an age-old secret lies within a simple, humble bottle - “Redwin Tea Tree Shampoo”. For a mere six coins, you can wield the power of Tea Tree Shampoo in your dreadlock arsenal. This ancient elixir, brewed from the leaves of the mighty Tea Tree, offers cleansing properties akin to the cleansing of Valhalla's waters, and is readily available at most supermarkets and pharmacies.
VALHALLA HAIR stocks a VIKING CLEANSE WASH PACK which includes this reverred elixir, as well as the BATTLE BRUSH- a silicone shampoo brush, 2 hair ties, and a hair drying bonnet.
4. The Drying Rite: After each conquest, whether in the shower, the sea, or the sweat of battle, the key to victory is thorough drying. Damp dreadlocks are the enemy's stronghold and is the main cause of the dreaded rot. Harness the power of the wind, the sun, or your trusty towel to ensure your locks are dry, ready to face the next challenge. Our WASH PACK also includes a bonnet attachment for hair dryers to assist with quickly drying your lokks.
5. Seek Professional Counsel: Should you find yourself battling the dreadlock rot and require some assistance or reassurance, do not hesitate to consult a qualified Loctician- a wise Seer of dreadlocks, if you will. They possess secret knowledge and remedies, including specialized shampoos and treatments to vanquish the invaders. In extreme cases, they may wield the sacred shears to halt the rot's advance. A good loctician will teach you how to take care of your lokks- or will even share a blog post to help those Warriors from other realms…
I am currently enrolled in SPELLBINDING A SIGNATURE SCENT- a dreadlock Product Making Course, under the guidance of the Weirdsistas- the modern-day sorceresses of lokks. In the near future I will be crafting a dreadlock care range infused with the medicinal properties and unique scents of essential oils. Until then, the power of simple Tea Tree Shampoo will certainly suffice!
