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.
