Residue-Free Dreadlock Care Products | Mermaid’s Tail

Welcome to Mermaid’s Tail, your home for handcrafted, residue-free dreadlock care products. 
I’m Krista, a dreadlock specialist with over 20 years of experience in helping clients maintain healthy, beautiful locs. 
Based
in Toronto, Ontario, I created this product line because my clients 
deserved better: products made specifically for dreadlocks that actually
work, without residue or buildup. 

Every formula is salon-tested, Canadian-made, and crafted in small batches to keep your locs strong, clean, and scalp healthy.

Made for you, because I Care.

I started Mermaid’s Tail to offer something I knew was missing: high-quality dreadlock hair products made with clean, minimal ingredients. All made in Canada.

After years of working with loc clients at Dread Love, I wanted to create productsfor my clients and friends that felt good to use, supported healthy hair and scalp, and didn’t overcomplicate things. Simple. Natural. Effective. Accessible. People trusted me and I wanted to give back by provided trustworthy dread products.

I made these products with all of you in mind — your hair, your needs, your journey. I remember.
