Step 1
Put on the cap
Place the nylon stocking cap over your dreadlocks before getting in the shower for the first month.
-
Step 2
Add shampoo and rinse
Put residue-free shampoo on your head and rub it over the stocking cap. Rinse well.

Remove the nylon cap and gently squeeze the water out of each dread. Try shaking them to remove any excess water. Wrap them in a towel for a few minutes or use a hair dryer. It is very important to allow the dreads to dry thoroughly.

Step 4
Repeat
Wash your dreadlocks every two to three days in order to maintain healthy, thick, and luxurious dreads.
