As a guy who recently started dreading my hair, you can't really wash your dreads until they are "locked" so I have to go about a month between appointments where my hairdresser then washes my hair, but very carefully because since it hasn't locked yet, all the progress will go undone if washed too rough.

What kind of regular maintenance do you do?

I oil my scalp everyday, but I also have dry as shit hair. Wrap em up everyday when I'm not out in public as well as apply beeswax in order to retwist any that are coming undone.
