3 Tips for treating a dry itchy scalp with Dreadlocks
If you’ve ever had a dry or itchy scalp, then you know just how uncomfortable and irritating it can be.
Many skin issues are caused by the harsh chemicals inside regular hair care products. Switching to a sulfate-free shampoo, which doesn't dry out your scalp, can make a huge difference!
Raw Roots and Dollylocks have created organic dread care products that restore and regulate the natural balance of your scalp and help prevent further skin irritations.
