I made this for my clients. Now it's for yours too. Lightweight. No Buildup. Studio-Tested for 20+ Years. After two decades behind the chair, I kept seeing the same thing — clients with dry, tight, uncomfortable scalps between appointments, reaching for heavy oils that just sat on the surface and caused buildup on their locs. So I formulated my own. Dread Love Scalp Oil is a lightweight, vegan scalp oil built for locs and natural hair — with Copper Tripeptide-1, vegan hydrolyzed keratin, and botanical oils that absorb quickly, support a balanced scalp, and leave zero residue on your hair. I use it in my studio daily. My clients use it between visits. When it works this well, you share it. Handmade in Canada, in small batches. When a batch is gone, it's gone. COPPER TRIPEPTIDE-1 VEGAN KERATIN ZERO BUILDUP HANDMADE IN CANADA Why Scalp Health Comes First Healthy locs begin at the root. When your scalp feels comfortable and properly hydrated, your hair can thrive. This formula absorbs quickly and leaves no heavy coating, helping maintain a refreshed, balanced-looking scalp between washes and maintenance. Supports scalp hydration Helps reduce the appearance of dryness Maintains comfort between retwists Lightweight and residue-free 100% vegan — vegan keratin, no animal-derived ingredients Real Client Experience During a routine maintenance appointment, I noticed a visibly dry, irritated-looking area on a long-time client's scalp. We applied a single drop to test one small section. Within minutes, the area appeared noticeably calmer and more balanced in appearance. That moment helped shape what is now one of our most loved products. Results vary.
