Dreadlock Wax – Residue-Free Hold for Locs & New Growth
Dreadlock Wax – Residue-Free Hold for Locs & New Growth
Couldn't load pickup availability
A simple, residue-free dreadlock wax for when your locs need a bit of help staying neat.
It gives light structure and control without buildup, stiffness, or greasy shine.
Use a small amount when you’re smoothing new growth, palm rolling, or taming frizz — not something you need every day, just when it’s useful. If you feel wax, you don't need to add more, just roll in what's there!
Available in 2 oz and 8 oz reusable glass jars.
No stiffness. No heaviness. Just clean hold.
This wax was made for people who’ve been burned by sticky, suffocating products that promise control and deliver buildup. My clients asked for something better — a wax that actually works with locs instead of coating them.
Made in small batches here in Canada, this breathable wax gives firm but flexible hold. It’s ideal for palm rolling, new growth, frizz control, and general neatness — whether your locs are just starting or fully mature.
It supports the early locking phase and stays useful long after, helping prevent lumps, bumps, and flyaways while keeping things clean and easy to manage.
And unlike heavy commercial waxes, this one washes out cleanly. No clogging, no buildup — just shape and control where you need it.
🌿 Ingredients:
- Local Beeswax – adds structure and reliable hold
- Organic Coconut Oil – softens and conditions without heaviness
- Sea Salt – supports texture and the locking process
- Essential Oils – light, clean scent that isn’t overpowering
🐝 About the Beeswax
The beeswax in this formula comes from local Ontario beekeepers who care for their hives responsibly. While this product isn’t vegan, the wax is ethically sourced and sustainably harvested — a conscious alternative to imported commercial wax.
🎨 Choose Your Size & Shade
- 2 oz or 8 oz reusable glass jar
- Light (Transparent) – works well for all hair types and lighter shades
- Dark (Tinted with iron oxide) – blends naturally with brown, black, and deep-toned hair
This wax is concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way. Most people find one jar lasts much longer than expected.
