What is Interlock Dreads

Not only can Interlock Dreads guide the strands in the desired direction, but they also help to secure the hair more firmly by twisting it into the interior of the dreads.

Points to note for Interlock Dreads

Interlock Dreadlocks involve pushing the dreads strand into the space near the root using a hook. When your hair grows and needs maintenance, you should leave enough space for the dreads strand to enter during the maintenance. If you create a dreads strand too close to the scalp during maintenance, it can pull on the scalp and cause pain. Be mindful of this when maintaining your dreads!!
