Best thing to make my locks lock up faster?

Ok, had locks about 2 months
i want them thight and knotty looking ASAP
ive tried finding lock peppa and lock acelerator her in Australia
Theres bugger all available im affraid
i would appreciate any tips or tricks my fellow dreadheads may be using to tighten faster

Knatty peace

 

be paitent maybe? thats a lot of it ...waiting and watching as they grow they lock up in there own time

 

From experience, don't give the Lock Peppa credence. It seems to work, but leaves you wanting the first time water hits your head.

I find that using Neutrogena Anti-Residue tends to tighten things up faster than the others I have experimented with, and taking a dip in some ocean water works wonders. ( I know a lot of folks love Dr. Bronner's, and I use it for most things in my home....but not for my hair. It leaves me feeling greasy. I think it all depends on your hair type and water quality.)

I am sure your dreads will be fantastic. Post some pics sometime....and since you are an Aussie I would greatly appreciate an audio file of you speaking.

 

Yer i really needa get round too posting some pics of my dreads, and thanks for the help guys

 

hey and aussie as well didnt see that what part are ya in ...hope you dont mind me asking

 

Yeah, the locking accelerator is crap, as is the lock peppa.
In Aus you can't buy them in stores, only online.

You can just make your own accelerator with sea salt, water and maybe some lemon juice if you feel like it....cheaper than buying it anyway.

but yeah not much else you can do to help speed them along, except maybe rubbing a woolen beanie/tam over your roots to help them lock up

 

wow thats weird coz i went into a store here and a women said she had lock pepper for sale..:S

 

i heard somewhere just plain bar soap helps.

 

there is no asap with dreads dereads teach u to be patienr and not rush things
if u insist on asap your journey may end prematurely

 

hey yeah.. first time reply so it could be crap....

i saw another thread saying bi-carb and salt and some tea tree oil...

i had it all but no tea tree oil.. i mixed salt and bi-card in a squirter bottle and tht drys the hair out and is working pretty nice on my hair

peacex

 

the tea trea oil works as a yummy smelling agent, an anti-itch/anti-fungal/anti-buggies kind of thing. so it's not gonna hurt anything to go without it.

and i know from experience, the only thing from dreadheadhq that was actually any good was the dread soap.

sea salt water is the best thing for locking up the dreads. aside from patience of course.

 

ye get a pik up
