Dread Maintenance: The Crochet Method

At Dreadnation Aotearoa specialize in dread maintenance using the crochet method, a gentle, effective, and long-lasting technique for maintaining beautiful, neat locs.

What is the Crochet Method?

The crochet method involves using a fine crochet hook to tighten and shape your dreads without the need for products, chemicals, or heat. This technique creates strong, smooth, and natural-looking locs, making it ideal for all hair types. Unlike retwisting, which relies on gels or waxes, the crochet method keeps your locs clean, residue-free, and easy to manage.

How Often Should You Get Maintenance?

To keep your dreads looking their best, we recommend scheduling dread maintenance every 6–12 weeks, depending on your hair growth and personal preference. Regular maintenance prevents loose hair, keeps your locs uniform, and ensures they stay strong and healthy.

Why Choose the Crochet Method?

• No chemicals or product buildup

• Natural and professional finish

• Suitable for all hair types

• Minimizes frizz and loose hairs

Let us help you maintain your locs with care and precision, so you can feel confident and stylish every day.
