DEEP CLEAN RECIPE

Everything you need to know about AVC rinse!

- While dreadlock maintenances aren’t available, I would highly recommend doing an apple cider vinegar deep clean or known as ACV Rinse (Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse). This soak is only suitable for dreads 1+ years old and should only be done 1 – 3 times a year max as it can dry your dreads out if done too often.

- This wash aims to clean your dreadies from the inside out because no matter how clean your hair is you will likely have either or all dandruff, lint, dirt and in another word… BUILD UP. All heads are different and even the best hair hygiene can and will have build up.

- Your hair will be shiny, stripped of buildup and looking lush!

What you will need:

For 1 rinse

1. Warm – cool water in a bucket/basin you can comfortably have your hair soaking in.

2. Half cup raw apple cider vinegar

3. Half cup baking soda (sodium Bicarbonate)

4. 1 table spoons of lemon Juice

5. 2 drops Tea tree essential oils – to act as an anti fungal

6. 2 drop Lavender essential oils - to act as a reliever and to sooth the scalp

7. Towels – micro fibers help to prevent lint build up.

Instructions

1. Fill your bucket with warm water.

2. Add into the water – ACV, lemon juice, essential oils

3. Mix well then add ½ cup of baking soda and watch the reaction! This will be brief, keep stirring the water until all is dissolved.

4. Now for the fun part! Submerge your dreadlooks into the water.

5. Gently squeeze your locks and using a little cup, soak your roots. Keep massaging your head and squeezing your locks for 5 – 7 mins.

6. Repeat the process.

TIP**

Only do Deep Cleans at the beginning of the day so that you can allow your dreads to completely dry before the end of the day. Drying your hair is more important than washing it and should be second nature to know not to wash your hair if you don’t have time to dry it that day.
