Why Buying Canadian Loc Products Matters | Mermaid’s Tail
Krista PettipasWhen I started Mermaid’s Tail, I wasn’t thinking about SEO, packaging, or shipping across provinces. I just wanted to create something that worked — something clean, effective, and residue-free for people with dreadlocks who care about what they’re putting on their scalp.
Back then, my products were only available in my shop. If you wanted them, you had to come find me.
Now, I’m proud to say Mermaid’s Tail dreadlock products are available Canada-wide, and everything about them is still rooted in the same thing: being 100% Canadian.
🌿 What That Actually Means:
-
I hand-make every batch myself.
-
I design my own labels — nothing is mass-produced.
-
I source local ingredients (right here in Canada).
-
My bottles, labels, and printing are all done by Canadian suppliers.
-
Every order supports multiple small Canadian businesses — not just mine.
There are a few dreadlock brands in North America, but very few (if any) are doing what we’re doing: offering handmade Canadian dreadlock care that’s built for real locs — with clean, simple ingredients and a lot of love.
💧 Why It Matters
A lot of big-name haircare brands don’t get it.
Locs need special care — no heavy buildup, no synthetic fillers, no mystery chemicals.
That’s why our sprays, oils, and waxes are designed for:
-
Residue-free maintenance
-
Sensitive scalps
-
Natural results
If you’ve struggled to find Canadian-made loc care you can trust, you’re not alone — and you’re exactly why I do this.
