          The antidote to dandruff and itchy scalp! Our Dandruff Combat Kit includes 2 Anti Dandruff shampoos - why 2? Because regular shampooing to eliminate excess sebum will remove the food source of the fungus that causes dandruff. Cedarwood, Rosemary and Peppermint are also renowned for their anti fungal properties. Plus the kit includes Botanical Serum which is a lush nutrient packed blend of oils also renowned for their anti fungal properties and it’s super hydrating. Save 18% when buying the kit as opposed to purchasing individual products ❤️ Check it out at www.dreadlocks.com.au #dreads #dreadlocks #dandruff #antidandruff #locs #dreadempire #dreadies #dandruffdreadlocks #dandrufftreatment #dreadlove #dreadhead #dreadlockstyle #dreadlockstyles

          Keeping dreads clean, along with keeping them separated, is the most important part of dread care and the Dread Empire range has you covered 💥With 4 liquid shampoos, 9 shampoo bars and 5 deep cleansing soaks, there’s loads to choose from. Squeaky clean dreads lock up so much quicker and more easily and maintain the health of your scalp. Always allow them to dry thoroughly before tying them back and seperate regularly to prevent them from merging. #dreademoire #dreadshampoo #dreadmaintenance #cleandreads #dreads #dreadlocks #dreadlocksdaily #dreadhead #deepcleanse #organicshampoo #dreadlockstyle
