  Hot on the heels of the pepperminty goodness of Dreadlocks Unlocked shampoo,  Supasoak,  comes its delectably scented sister product,  Oceanise . This is a light hold spray, made with fine, mineral-rich sea salt. It helps tighten dreads and adds a satisfyingly gritty feel, leaving a matte finish akin to beach air hair. Oceanise has a fun, coconutty fragrance and evokes fond memories of summer sunshine. It is 100% vegan, made in Australia, cruelty-free, and contains organic ingredients. This spray can be used on clean wet or dry hair and can be heat styled post-spritz, or simply left to air dry. My personal preference, is to liberally apply Oceanise to towel dried locks, allow them to dry naturally, then palm roll once completely dry. I find this process results in a grittier finish. A 200mL bottle of Oceanise retails at $25.95 and can be purchased either online at www.dreadlocksunlocked.com  or in-salon at Styles , Highfields. The lucky last product for review is  Dreadlixia .

Welcome back dreadheads, non-dreadheads and soon-to-be dreadheads! Today we are going to be talking about the Dreadlocks Unlocked  product range.

Cities shut down, the stock market crashed, children were being home-schooled and all non-essential businesses were ordered to close. The majority of these non-essential businesses were small, family-owned enterprises like cafes, beauty parlours, tattoo shops, florists, and, you guessed it, hairdressers. Many livelihoods were left in tatters and unemployment rates skyrocketed. A necessary component of survival for business owners, in this new world, was the ability to think critically and innovatively.
