Your stylist here at Melates Salon & Beauty will help maintain and properly upkeep your dreadlocks for a fresh look and feel. If not maintained properly, they may become unruly and difficult to manage. Because this particular hair type is brittle, allowing it to form into dread locks will enhance the strength and durability of the hair. Once your stylist has initially formed the hair into dread locks of a preferable size and pattern, your job then is to continually twist the locks of hair to ensure that it separates into sections.

Have you wanted to try hair twists because you saw celebrities sporting them? Twists are made when naturally very curly hair is still wet and somewhat relaxed from soaking it in hot water. When the hair is dry it will have shrunken, creating a tightly-woven texture to the sections of hair twisted. Twists can also be made by dry hair for a different texture. Twists can also be combined with other hairstyles simultaneously, such as afros and afro puffs. In order to maintain twist hairstyles, hairstylists suggest covering the twisted section if hair with a head scarf at night.
