S.O.S TENSION BUMPS!

Hey, Wildcrafted Beauties!

So you've taken the plunge and embraced the amazing world of synthetic dreads! We know you're rocking that new style with confidence and expression, but sometimes that excitement can come with a few little bumps in the road – literally.

We're talking about those pesky tension bumps that can pop up around your hairline or wherever your dreads are a bit tighter!

Don't worry, these are super common, especially when your scalp is getting used to the new feeling of the dreads. But fear not, because we've got the perfect remedy to soothe those bumps and get you back to feeling fabulous!

 

What are Tension Bumps?

Tension bumps are tiny red bumps that show up when your hair follicles get a little irritated. It's like your scalp is saying, "Hey, this pulling is a bit much!" They can become red, swollen and can honestly get really uncomfortable.

So what can you do?

Calming the bumps!

Here are some tips to help those bumps heal faster and keep your scalp feeling happy:

  1. Preventing Them: Tension bumps will mostly happen all around the edges of your hairline, because you have a lot of baby hair there, so do what I do and make sure you leave some of your baby hair out when you first install your set of dreadlocks, let those bad boys breathe!

  2. Loosen Up: This might seem obvious, but sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Talk to whoever is helping you do your hair about loosening up the dreads a bit, especially around the edges. Remember, comfort and style can go hand-in-hand!

  3. Scalp TLC: Pamper your scalp with something that will soothe it. Start with a simple head massage as this will help improve circulation and encourages those bumps to fade away and then go ahead and reach out for our Rescue Anti Blemish Serum- Skin Tone Balancer, Spot Treatment – Wildcrafted Beauty Give it a little roll wherever those pesky bumps are popping up and you'll likely see the inflammation and redness go down in the matter of just a couple days.

  4. Cooling Comfort: This is where Wildcrafted Beauty's Cooling Veil - Soothe Scalp, Stop Itch, Refresh Hair, Encourage Growth – Wildcrafted Beauty comes in! This amazing spray is infused with calming ingredients like peppermint and aloe vera to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation. Think of it as a cool compress for your scalp!

Cooling Veil: Your anti-itch best friend

Here's how Cooling Veil & Rescue Serum can be your new best friends in the fight against tension bumps:

  1. Targeted Relief: Spritz Cooling Veil directly onto the affected areas for a refreshing, calming sensation.

  2. Restorative Formula: Made with natural ingredients, Rescue serum was formulated to be used on your blemishes and breakouts, which are a lot like tension bumps. So you know it's going to be restoring and gentle on your skin!

 

You know that feeling when an itchy scalp takes over your thoughts? You try everything—patting, massaging, maybe even considering dunking your head under cold water for a second of relief. We get it. That’s exactly why we made Soothing Veil. It’s the extra step you’d go to for comfort, bottled up in a mist that does the work for you.

With every spritz, your scalp is cocooned in a gentle wave of relief, thanks to a carefully crafted blend of Manuka, Copaiba, and a refreshing hint of Grapefruit. These powerful botanicals work in harmony to calm irritation, reduce inflammation, and restore balance, so you can focus on feeling good instead of feeling itchy.

And unlike harsh scalp treatments that can throw your body off balance, Soothing Veil is made with your hormones in mind—nourishing, never disrupting.
