Loc maintenance is mostly a question of tools. A dreadlock needle threads loose hair back into the body of the loc, which is how you tidy new growth or close up a frayed section without waiting for a salon appointment.

The Magic Collection Easy Dreadlock Needle is that tool, sold under reference SKILL08-2. It is a single hand tool rather than a kit, so the upkeep is nothing more than keeping it clean and not losing it. You use it to pull stray hairs through the loc and settle the surface back down.

Work on dry locs, one section at a time, and keep the tension light. Forcing the needle through is what thins a loc at the root over time.

Suits anyone wearing locs anywhere from 3b to 4c who handles their own upkeep between appointments, and loticians who want a spare in the kit.

Application tips

Start at the back of the head where mistakes are least visible and work forwards as your rhythm settles. Feed the loose new growth through the eye, take it down through the base, and pull until the root closes.

Keep a spray bottle nearby and mist as you go, since dry hair drags against the needle and damp hair slides. An hour at a time is enough for most heads, and the rest will wait.

Results

Roots close up without gel, wax or a twisting motion, which is the appeal for anyone whose locs have started building up product at the base.

Stray hairs that have escaped along a loc can be threaded back into the body of it, so a loc that was looking fuzzy tightens again. Maintenance stops being a fortnightly obligation and becomes something you do when it genuinely needs doing.
