This page lists companies that manufacture dreadlock products for hair care like shampoos , dreadlock hair teas/hair rinses or wax and wax alternatives among others.

Many of these companies also sell other items that are useful to lock wearers; and we've got a dreadlock product review section for each one that will help you make your purchasing decisions.

These manufacturers are well-known to the wider lock community, but nothing says that you can't use mainstream hair care products for your dreadlocks.

Not only are there product reviews from other lock wearers, but the Mydreadlocks.com staff and panel fill you in on exactly how good (or bad) the ingredients in those products are.
