Having dreadlocks should not prevent you from enjoying the outdoors. If they are secured while you play sport and you wash your locs regularly, they are quite compatible with an outdoor lifestyle.
Keep Dreads Out Of Your Face
Being slapped around in the face with your own dreadlocks while playing sports is both distracting and frustrating.
Gather your locs and keep them out of your face and neck by securing them in a neat bun.
To keep the top of your head clear, use large tube headbands to hold your locs off your face.
Wash Your Locs Regularly
If you participate in outdoor activities like camping or hiking, a deep clean is essential.
Your dreadlocks need to be washed two or three times a week if you spend a lot of time outdoors and if you sweat a lot. Use a mild shampoo formulated especially for dreadlocks. You may even want to spritz your locs by mixing water with a few drops of essential oils like tea tree, lavender, and lemon oil
Prevent your locs from drying out and losing moisture by avoiding having to wash them every day.
Professional TLC For Dreadlocks
Your dreadlocks will get frizzy if you pull them back and cover the roots of the hair with a protective cloth or accessory.
A loctician can help you once in a few months to have your roots twisted and maintained professionally.
Ask them for a deep-cleanse treatment made with herbal teas and apple-cider vinegar to remove sweat and grime trapped in your dreads.
