Bedhead no more! How to sleep with synthetic dreadlocks.

Janet stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, her synthetic dreadlocks hanging in a tangled mess. This morning was NOT her morning at all. 

The sleek, perfectly braided strands she had admired just two days ago were gone! All she could see was FRIZZ. 

Yikes!!

It all happened last night…

Her night shift at the hospital had started off well, with everyone she met complimenting her new hair. But by the end of the shift, she was exhausted. As soon as she got home, she crashed into bed, completely unaware that her hair would scream less “helpful nurse” and more “mad scientist”

She needed a solution FAST. With her next shift at the hospital starting in just a few hours, looking like she’d just rolled out of bed was not an option.

Girl, we got you!

You’re probably thinking— what could possibly save the day? 

We will!

Now, imagine a magical potion that not only tames static and reduces frizziness but also infuses your strands with a stunning shine and extra moisture…... 

Something that is designed to soften your dreadlocks, making them feel touchably smooth and move effortlessly….

Meet Crown Nectar —- every wildcrafted woman’s favorite product.

Pump a generous amount into your hand and start working it through a section of your dreadlocks. Gently separate each strand, smoothing and detangling as you go. Watch as the shine and smoothness start to return, transforming your once chaotic hair back into a crown on your head!

 Finish by applying half a pump around your scalp to tackle that pesky frizz halo. As you massage the Crown Nectar in, the light, floral aroma will fill your senses, offering a refreshing experience.

And guess what? It doesn’t just tame your frizz—it sanitizes and keeps it fresh between washes, all while adding a delightful fragrance that we can guarantee will have people chasing you down supermarket aisles to comment on (no, seriously, we’ve had a customer say that to us!)

For one to two months, you need to give your synthetic hair a bit of extra TLC— and that’s why we found that the crown nectar routine is the best thing for those primary months—apply it morning and night. This little ritual keeps your dreads looking fresh and fabulous, so you can keep rocking that amazing new look with confidence while your dreads are allowed to mature. 

And that’s it girl! 

You’re ready for your next shift!  

A lot of women, like Janet, fall in love with synthetic dreadlocks as a way to jazz up their repetitive uniforms and add a splash of personality to their look!

After all, changing up their hair often feels like the only chance they get to express themselves. But many think they can just install their dream set and roll into bed with their brand-new dreadlocks and call it a day. 

This is where it all goes wrong.. 

For one to two months, you need to give your synthetic hair a bit of extra TLC. Start by getting into the Crown Nectar routine—apply it morning and night. This little ritual keeps your dreads looking fresh and fabulous, so you can keep rocking that amazing new look with confidence while your dreads are allowed to mature. 

Sleeping…. Done right! 

What makes synthetic dreadlocks truly special is how they simplify your life—spending less time in front of the mirror, styling, and deciding what to do with your hair. 

Once you’ve had your first install — it is very normal that your scalp feels a bit tight, as time passes, your braids will start to loosen and you’ll feel more relaxed. Many women say that it takes about 3 to 4 days till their scalp starts adjusting and they are able to feel their braids loosen up.

So what we recommend during your first 4 weeks: wearing a silk or satin bonnet to bed. This tiny but mighty accessory helps protect your dreadlocks from becoming frizzy and tangled while you sleep. The smooth silk minimizes friction, keeping your dreads looking sleek and polished for longer.

Flip your hair over– twist your dreads into a long “snake” and then slide the bonnet on.

So, while you enjoy the freedom of fewer hair hassles during the day, just slip on a silk bonnet at night— sounds like a good deal, right?

Do I have to wear that forever? 

Absolutely not! If you prefer putting your hair in a french braid down the back, all you’ll need is a satin pillowcase. A lot of women also prefer putting their hair in a big bun when it’s time for bed.

It’s that simple?

Yes! 

Now that you’ve got big, thick hair from your awesome new dreadlocks, you’ll quickly find that your regular scrunchies just won’t cut it anymore. 

That’s why we created these custom jumbo scrunchies specifically for dreadlock girlies like you! If you love putting your hair up in a bun, our satin scrunchies are your new best friend.

 Designed to handle the bulk and keep everything in place without snagging or causing damage, they’ll make styling your dreads or simply getting them out of the way a breeze.

 Who doesn’t love a secure bun?

Flip your head over, put the scrunchy on (don’t twist the scrunchie just yet) , twist your hair, roll it into a cinnamon bun and then wrap the scrunchy around that so that it’s not too tight but just enough to hold them. 

So, who says you can’t enjoy a good night’s sleep and still wake up with amazing hair? With just a few simple steps, like rocking a silk bonnet and using the right products, you can protect your crown and ensure your synthetic dreadlocks look fabulous every morning. 

It’s all about the little things that make a big difference in maintaining that fresh, empowered look!
