The results are quite satisfying! You know those locs that you’ve always dreamed of? Well, they’ll finally become a reality. To promote healthy growth of your dreadlocks you’ll want to start with:
Eating Right
Before your next grocery trip, make sure you’re including protein-rich foods on your list. Your locs are craving these foods! Stock up on eggs, which are not only protein-rich but they’re also packed with biotin, a vitamin that’s essential for hair growth. Spinach, berries, and fish are also yummy choices of protein for your hair. Don’t forget to replenish your body with plenty of water for hair growth and keeping brittleness at bay.
Exercising
You already know just how beneficial exercise is for your overall health. Well, moving your body also has a big impact on your hair. When you commit to an exercise routine that works for your lifestyle, you’ll feel great from the inside out. Your routine could be as simple as daily walks or an at-home workout. Exercising is a key component in promoting your hair growth and improving blood flow circulation.

Grab a satin pillowcase or scarf to prevent any breakage, frizz, or lint from making its way into your dreadlocks. Getting ready in the morning or after a nap will be a breeze if you take these necessary steps. Hopefully, these tips are getting you excited about growing healthy, luxuriant locs.
