Maintenance of Oumar's short dreadlocks

Oumar is a high-level sportsman. He is a professional football player in the French National I league. The maintenance of Oumar's short dreadlocks is therefore a necessity.

He is one of the goalkeepers of the Etoile Sportive de Fréjus Saint Raphaël (Var). He has also played for various clubs in the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. Oumar was also a Malian international for many years. He participated in the African Cup of Nations in 2008.

Oumar wears his dreadlocks following a bet. One of his friends challenged him to wear them! Stung to the core, Oumar took up the challenge! As a high level sportsman, he is concerned about their maintenance. Indeed, perspiration, daily showers and weather conditions put the aesthetics and strength of his locks to the test.

My work in this interview was of several kinds.

A technical approach :
I first analysed the structure of each dreadlock. Indeed, I wanted to make sure that each dread was well made at the roots. This is crucial for the strength of a lock. It prevents it from breaking easily. Oumar's dreadlocks were well done. I therefore did not intervene in this area. My action was a simple control.
Then I tightened each dreadlock one by one with a hook. This makes the dreads more solid along their entire length. As a top athlete, Oumar needs strong dreads to move without difficulty.
Once all the locks were tight and solidified from end to end, I used an aloe vera and peppermint treatment. This product refreshes the scalp. In addition, when applied to the dreadlocks, it makes them shine.
An aesthetic approach:
I worked on the length of her locks. In order to keep the harmony between his locks and his face, I cut the length of his tips. Moreover, this allows him not to be bothered by his dreadlocks during his professional and sporting activities.
Then I crocheted the unruly hair that was sticking out of her locks so that it would fit back into her dreads. This way, their aesthetics are perfect.
An advisory approach to hair care:
Oumar is very careful to keep his dreadlocks in good health. He asked me to advise him on products to care for them. He wants them to remain impeccable for longer. So I presented him with various care products adapted to his hair. I especially insisted on using a natural shampoo without detanglers.

Short dreadlocks are particularly recommended for :

Sportsmen and women who want to keep their freedom of movement without being hindered by long dreads.
Individuals who also wish to limit the level of maintenance of locks
People with a slim face and a slender body. The result is a harmonious look.
